10 Countries You Should Avoid Raising Kids Or Starting A Family by KEVIND: 1:30am On Apr 21, 2018 |
10 countries across the world have been categorized as the worst and unsafe countries where people should avoid raising kids or starting a family. There are 10 countries many bachelors, spinsters and hopeful parents-to-be should avoid when planning to raise kids or start a family in the world. Though there are many unfit international territories in which to have children and raise a family, these 10 countries are said to be avoided at all costs. Relocating, starting a family or raising kids are dependent on some determinants that have to be critically considered before taking the step. In determining which country or countries that are the most fit for bringing up children in, intending parents or couples should take into serious consideration the overall safety, crime rate, healthcare systems, and the quality of education. In the recent rankings of the Legatum Prosperity Index from the Legatum Institute, the 10 worst countries to raise a kid or start a family have been highlighted after taking into account the quality of education, personal safety, national security, healthcare systems, poorest economies, as well as overall quality of life. Going by the ratings and rankings of the Legatum Institute, it’s safe to say these 10 countries are neither fit for raising kids nor starting families. Before you make that decision to start a family or raise kids, here are the 10 worst countries in the world where you shouldn't contemplate of raising kids or starting a family. 1. Central Africa Republic The Central African Republic is one of the countries in the world that have been ravaged by internal wars for several years. The country is situated in the middle of Africa and has been rated the worst international country to raise kids or start a family. Healthcare system: Worst in the world Educational system: 3rd worst in the world Economic system: 5th worst in the world Security: 2nd worst in the world Overall quality of life: 2nd worst in the world President: Faustin-Archange Touadéra Verdict: UNSAFE 2. Chad Rating closely behind Central Africa Republic is Chad. Interestingly, Chad shares same border with Central African Republic and the entire area is notably ridden with the same poverty, violence, and lack of economic growth. The country is neither safe to raise kids nor start a family. Healthcare system: 2nd worst in the world Educational system: 3rd worst in the world Economic system: 8th worst in the world Security: 23rd most dangerous in the world Overall quality of life: 5th worst in the world President: Idriss Déby Verdict: UNSAFE 3. The Democratic Republic of Congo The Democratic Republic of Congo has been generally been considered unsafe and dangerous for citizens of the world. This is because violence and bloodshed are permanently occurring in the country. From education to healthcare and economic system in the country ranks the lowest in the world. Healthcare system: 10th worst in the world Educational system: 12th worst in the world Economic system: 10th worst in the world Security: 2nd most dangerous in the world Overall quality of life: 7th worst in the world President: Joseph Kabila Verdict: UNSAFE 4. Iraq Iraq has remained not only unsafe but politically unstable for over a decade and it is wise to say it is not a country to raise kids or a family. Most people are familiar with the unfortunate conditions plaguing the country which is situated in Western Asia and borders with Turkey. Healthcare system: 18th worst in the world Educational system: 20th worst in the world Economic system: 21st worst in the world Security: Most dangerous in the world Overall quality of life: 8th worst in the world President: Fuad Masum Verdict: UNSAFE 5. Yemen One obvious reasons why it is totally unacceptable to raise kids or start a family in Yemen is because the country tops the list for worst overall quality of life. Situated just South of Saudi Arabia, the word peace and tranquility can't be found in Yemen as the country has become synonymous with religious wars and internal conflicts. Healthcare system: 21st worst in the world Educational system: 6th worst in the world Economic system: The worst in the world Security: 11th most dangerous in the world Overall quality of life: The worst in the world President: Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi Verdict: UNSAFE 6. Sudan Despite sharing a border with Egypt, Sudan is neither a safe nor better country to raise kids or start a family. The emergence of militias and religious extremists in the country has left Sudan more dangerous to live in and making it non conducive for immigrants. Healthcare system: 19th worst in the world Educational system: 17th worst in the world Economic system: 6th worst in the world Security: 6th most dangerous in the world Overall quality of life: 3rd worst in the world President: Omar al-Bashir Verdict: UNSAFE 7. Niger Also referred to as the Republic of Niger, the country shares a border with Libya. Niger has become porous for religious extremists to penetrate the country. Niger, which also shares border with Nigeria has seen many of its nationals crossing over to Nigeria for improved life. However, the country remains unfit to raise kids or start a family. Healthcare system: 14th worst in the world Educational system: 2nd worst in the world Economic system: 20th worst in the world Security: 25th most dangerous in the world Overall quality of life: 11th worst in the world President: Mahamadou Issoufou Verdict: UNSAFE 8. Afghanistan Afghanistan, is a landlocked country located within South Asia and Central Asia. Enjoying a border with Iran, the country in the last decade is synonymous with crisis, violence and in the news for violent reasons. Afghanistan has had its fair share of war and chaos, hence it's inclusion in the worst countries to raise a kid or start a family. Healthcare system: 17th worst in the world Educational system: 12th worst in the world Economic system: 20th worst in the world Security: 4th most dangerous in the world Overall quality of life: 4th worst in the world President: Ashraf Ghani Verdict: UNSAFE 9. Liberia Liberia is one of the world's poorest countries. For many young people, street hawking is the only means of survival. (AFP) Liberia is a country in West Africa, bordering Sierra Leone, Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire. Situated on the Atlantic coast, Liberia has been through thick and thin and is mereley trying to come out of its doldrums.

Nigeria Coming in last on the list of worst countries to raise kids or start a family is Nigeria.

It has the 32nd worst educational system. While this may not seem as bad compared with other countries listed, it is ranked as the 5th most dangerous country to live in, has the 8th worst healthcare system, and 19th worst economy. Healthcare system: 8th worst in the world Educational system: 32nd worst in the world Economic system: 19th worst in the world Security: 5th most dangerous in the world Overall quality of life: 22nd worst in the world President: Muhammadu Buhari Verdict: UNSAFE https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/amp.pulse.ng/gist/pop-culture/10-countries-you-should-avoid-raising-kids-or-family-id7968649.html 3 Likes |

Nigeria's presence on the list makes me doubt it. Nigeria is terrible, not working bla bla I get however everyone on this thread are at home responding to the OP and are obviously not in danger/unsafe. At least, no student had gone to their school with a gun shooting half of a class in Nigeria yet. 4 Likes |

Mindfulness: Human trafficking and child labour is everywhere and it is not as a result of the country being 'unsafe'; it is a result of poor planning amongst others. Does Nigeria have issues? Yes! Serious ones that would fill up a textbook afteral, the number one person just opened his mouth to say we are lazy. Despite all these, do I believe that Nigeria us the 10th worse country to bring up a child? Obviously not. 3 Likes |

bukatyne: Social security has a lot to do with the safety of children and I do not know where you get your information from but child labor is certainly illegal where I live and I do not get to see poor families sending away their children to be abused by some other family. That would land people in jail. As a matter of fact, kids from poor families are being taken care of. They get to eat, they get money for clothes, they go to school, they have free access to healthcare, their books are paid for by the government and even the expanses for school trips are covered. Their parents do not have to beg for it and they do not have to suffer for the decisions their parents have made or not made. 4 Likes |

All these trash list that foreigners keep compiling for there own pleasure don't move me. Listen all, NIGERIA is the best country in the world. Go to the Airport and see foreigners trooping in to take advantage of the vast opportunities this country offers. The Nigerian People is the problem with Nigeria. Until we shun tribalism, Religious bigotry, dishonesty and excessive greed, we will keep wallowing in despair, disappointment and blame games. The creator have been Good to this land of our Fathers. we failed ourselves as a people. instead of looking for approvals from some foreign agencies or media, we must look inward and put on the garment of patriotism and the consciousness of Nation building. We must enlist ourselves to do the Hard work that will make Nigeria Great. Nigeria IS NOT the worst country on earth, but ours is a country with challenges and better opportunities than any other Nation on planet earth. it is the responsibility of we the people to maximize this opportunities for our good and that of the next Generation. 1 Like |

Mindfulness: Prostitution is illegal most everywhere yet it thrives like a Palm tree beside the sea. I am sure that even with the social security, there is a thick ceiling those welfare kids cannot break. Like I said, Nigeria is not optimal; I just disagree that it is the 10th most unsafe country to raise a kid. |

Who did this study? They need to add United States on that list with all the school shooting going around. You can’t safely send your kids to school anymore cos you don’t know if you will receive a bad call before day end. I know parents who are opting for homeschooling now |
