The authors say they used the most up to date information available to assess "whether children feel loved, cherished, special and supported, within the family and community, and whether the family and community are being supported in this task by public policy and resources".

May I be the first to say PPHHHHHHTTT! ?

Remember those long-ago Halloweens collecting UNICEF money for the poor kids of the world? It turns out that those little bastards should have been collecting money for us instead!!

It's interesting that the first 8 have birthrates far below replacement level and rapidly-growing Moslem populations.

Did they just leave Moslem girls out of the "welfare" observations entirely, or is being married before puberty considered a positive factor?

And yet which countries have immigration crises?

"The UK government is not investing enough in the well-being of children, especially to combat poverty and deprivation."

Just another example of the nanny state going down the tubes.

A more educated guess is that the normal white British chick is so ugly that a guy would rather spend his time and money in a cold, depressing bar than being home with his kid (I've spent a lot of time watching the East Enders). Perhaps it would be smarter to import chicks from other countries that British men would want to be with. And export the ugly British chicks (sorry for being redundant) to the black Carribean islands and other places where they would be totally welcome.

Just a wild guess.
