"A new United Nations study suggests Canada lags behind other industrialized nations when it comes to child welfare. Child Poverty in Perspective: An Overview of Child Development in Rich Countries, the seventh report from UNICEF's Innocenti Research Centre, ranks Canada 12th overall for child well-being among 21 developed countries. The report released Wednesday compares countries in six categories and averages the results to compile an overall ranking. European countries dominated the top half of the list, led by the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark."
