Prepare yourself for some disappointing news. In a round up of the world’s 20 top countries to raise a family in, the United Kingdom was noticeably absent.


Instead, the UK came in at 22nd place on the full 41-long list – not all that bad when you consider just how many countries there are in the world, but equally not that reassuring.

While the British government has tried to initiate various childcare schemes in the past few years and the quality of free education is very good here, it still remains a very expensive country to raise a family in – and many working parents struggle to juggle their career and home life.

The winning country was Austria, labeled as the best country for families because of a combination of children’s health and safety, children’s general wellbeing, a wide range of leisure activities for kids and family life in general.

In Austria, companies provide parental leave following the birth of a child plus a “kindergeld” – a monthly allowance for childcare expenses until the child turns 18. So you can see why it’s such an attractive place for families to live.

Enormous heap of figmented dogshyte.

A child would fair well morally and in growth regardless of settlement. Depends on how you play your role.
