Not a good report

The UK has not scored too well on UNICEF's Innocenti Report Card 9 survey of inequality in child wellbeing amongst the richer countries, The Children Left Behind. Focusing on OECD states, the report looks at health, educational and material wellbeing, and assesses how far the most disadvantaged children have fallen behind those at median level. Using this kind of measure, the UK ranks alongside Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, in the bottom two- fifths of countries, principally on the basis of a low ranking in material wellbeing.
