So Unicef has released its "State of the World's Children" report.
The BBC's lead article is that the UK is at the bottom of the "industrialized countries" for general child welfare. Nobody who's been paying attention is surprised that the US is down there too (UK, 21st: US, 20th). I don't know how the aggregate ranking is derived, though I've seen some of the indicators that they use. You can explore the statistics at the Unicef site.
Later, when I've earned the time off, I think I'm going to compare some specific indicators in some countries which have something similar to the US. There's a customized report option that so far defeats me, but a little study ought to provide what I want to know.
Truffle has an agenda, but my foot's asleep. I'll take her out when my foot stops tingling.
