..According to a new study the United States is the second worst place in the world to raise a family. The country came in at a shockingly low 34th place out of 35 countries, only beating out crime-ridden Mexico. ...
To rank the most and least family-friendly countries, the journalists looked at 30 critical statistics from trusted international sources broken down into six categories that identify favorable conditions for raising a family, including safety, happiness, cost, health, education and time.
...Mexico came in at the bottom of the list as the worst country to raise a family..
But the United States didn’t fare much better, coming in at the bottom of the list at number 34, barely above Mexico...
Safety severely impacted the United States’s ranking. According to the data, it was the second-worst after Mexico. “The US has 6.12 reported homicides per 100,000 (bested only by Mexico), whereas most countries on our list are around one or less,”
...Cost was another contributing factor. “The US gets an F in our cost section,”..In the overall cost index, the US placed last, performing twice as poorly as New Zealand, which finished just ahead of the US. “Parents with average household income have to spend 31.79% of their income on childcare costs alone,” says Fergusson. “Compare that to Scandinavian countries, where households only have to spend 4% to 10% of household income to raise a well-rounded child.”
One shocking fact that the journalists uncovered: “American mothers are twice as likely to die in childbirth here as in Canada—even though it will cost us three times as much for a standard hospital birth,”

With a little more rioting maybe we can get the Mexicans, Hondurans, Guatemalans, El Salvadorans and Nicaraguans to go home......../s

As has often been said.....
Import the third world, become the third world.
Considering what kids are exposed to in public and most private schools....
Our education system alone should drop us to 150th.
Of course other nation’s have their problems in that area
also, what with Marxist ideologues superseding actual
essential life skills.
We’ll soon be better when the satanists & pedophiles are rooted out!
Read this far:
“Our systemic racism is just one example, which has been recently exposed during the Black Lives Matter protests,” says Fergusson. “It has become strikingly clear that people of color do not feel safe in America.”
Article exposed as leftwing propaganda.
Sleepy Joe can take us to the bottom.
Note to illegals — don’t come here. We suck. Go to Norway or wherever.
If you are Mexican then stay put. Mexico is not much worse than the U.S. so why even bother coming all the way over here?
I guess these people have never visited Scandinavian countries, they are not cheap, and up until the very recently they were very homogenous.
Ask the folks in Malmo how much they like living there.
I will say that the Finns were very cool, they do not put up with as much garbage as their neighbors do.
And you can stick your systemic racism b.s.
Ok. So why is everyone trying or dying to live here then?
Exclude the blue (liberal) cities and the ranking would be dramatically different. “Figures don’t lie, but liars do figure”
Not interested in reading beyond the first line. Let me guess, the best places to live also take way 50% of your income per year and make most of the decisions for you, Am I close?
I used to cuss when I was young. Then I met Jesus Christ and my life was changed. Therefore, I will simply say… Bull.
There are three black families which live in our neighborhood. I know them well because I am the precinct election judge. They will tell you there is, indeed, such a thing as systemic racism . . . in the ‘hood. That’s what they moved here to escape.
Best and Worst Countries for Raising a Family
The USA is so horrible but every stinking, mud hut, untouchable, cannibal refugee wants to come live here.
And we take them.
