So, if in the Scandinavian countries every tenth child lives poorly, in Germany children live almost better than all of the more than 40 countries studied.

It is reported that experts previously conducted research in 41 developed countries of the world for the implementation of sustainable development goals. In particular, this is the level of poverty, inequality, access to the health care system, education, security and the like.

In this regard, the first place ranking - Norway, the second - Germany. Next are Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. The USA was on the 37th place. The lowest places in the ranking were taken by Mexico, Romania, Bulgaria and Chile.

According to UNICEF, in Germany 15% of children live poorly, in the USA - more than 29%. At the same time, experts explain the low level of poverty among children in Scandinavia by a reliable system of social protection.

"Every fifth child in the United States and Great Britain eats irregularly, in Mexico and Turkey - one in three," it was informed..

Recall, as previously reported, "URA-Inform," in the military operation in Yemen are involved in at least 1768 minors.
