"The first report on the well-being of children in 21 western states shows marked divisions in education, health and sexual behaviour and drug-taking. The Netherlands topped the well-being table compiled by the UN children's agency Unicef, with Scandinavian nations also performing well.
However the United Kingdom and United States fare much worse, taking the bottom two places in the table.
The report shows no strong link between child well-being and per capita GDP."
Sweden is obviously raising a lot of spoiled kids. If you look at economic world leaders - like the US and Britain - then this softhanded scandinavian cuddling obviously isnt healthy for the economy.
And who cares about children, anyway? They dont produce anything, they smell, and only cost a lot of money to society. (Well, you can sell pictures of them on the internet, but thats about it)
"...Nor does the wealth of a nation guarantee its children a good education. Norway and Denmark are to be found in the 18th and 19th places for educational well-being..."
We should educate our youth in arms, porn and drugs instead - thats where the money is.
"She warned that "drastic action", including an injection of 4.5 billion pounds, was needed to meet a government target of halving the number of children in poverty by 2010."
You of course got to be one of those who HAVE money to enjoy the benefits of a high GDP. But they shouldnt include poor people in the study because that completely messes up my vision of globalisationism almost as much as Exxon joining the global warming alarmists.
"...One of the report's authors told the BBC that under-investment and a "dog eat dog" attitude in society were to blame for Britain's poor performance..."
What a load of crap!
Competition is healthy and weeds out the useless people who dont produce anything - like kids, old and sick people.
