Economic conditions, difficulties in finding a job, the quality of education or the health system are some of the factors why people leave their hometown. Recently, however, young families are choosing to move to states that are considered ideal for raising children. According to analyzes carried out by experts from the Unicef organization, these are the five best countries for children.
Japan
Japan ranks first in terms of physical health, having the world's lowest child mortality and the lowest number of those suffering from obesity. In the latest Unicef report, Japan is ranked second for "the world around the child" – a category that includes aspects such as green spaces, traffic safety and extremely low levels of air or water pollution.
Japan is also one of the safest countries for families. The overall homicide rate is 0.2 per 100,000 inhabitants. "Children go to school by themselves from the age of six. They take the bus, train or walk in the middle of Tokyo," says a local resident. In addition to health and safety, Japan also has one of the best education systems in the world, ranking 12th among 76 countries and regions.
Estonia
Although not at the top of Unicef's overall ranking, Estonia is valued for a large number of factors. Children are exposed very little to air pollution, noise pollution or pesticides. There are many green spaces and children have fun in parks and playgrounds found in almost every neighborhood.
One of the strongest points of the Baltic country is the education system. Schools work hard with children to teach them in exact sciences, arts, but also in technological skills. "Already in kindergartens, there are robots, smart tablets, all used as part of play-based learning," said Anne-Mai Meesak, an employee at the Ministry of Education. Estonia also has some of the most generous policies for new parents when it comes to annual leave and financial packages.
Spain
According to Unicef, Spain has the lowest rate of children falling ill due to air or water pollution. Despite having weak policies in terms of social, educational and health services, children in Spain still have a high level of well-being. They differ in social, artistic and academic skills. The country ranks third for children's mental well-being and fourth for academic and social skills, while the teen suicide rate is almost non-existent.
finland
Finland, which ranks fifth in the latest Unicef report, is considered the ideal country in terms of green spaces and air quality. It is also one of the best performing countries in the world in terms of children's education and math skills. The mortality rate for children ages 5 to 14 is one of the lowest in the world, less than half that of the US. In general, children are taught from an early age to live in a close relationship with nature, thus combating anxiety and depression. However, parents are often afraid of the dark and cold winter in Finland. But over time, they get used to it, enjoying the natural beauty that this Nordic country has to offer.
Netherlands
At the top of the ranking is the Netherlands, which is rated highly in terms of children's mental health and their school skills. Nine out of ten children say they feel happy and make friends easily. This is because the state enables children to participate in various courses and numerous sports or artistic activities, without any payment. The Netherlands also offers a lot of support to parents, giving them plenty of vacation days and financial assistance.
