The best countries in the world to raise kids

If you have children or are thinking of starting a family, you may want to move to either Japan or Europe.

According to a new report by Save the Children, Japan is the best place in the world to be a kid.

Overall, however,  Europe dominates the Index, taking all but four of the top 20 positions. This is of little surprise: it is culturally and politically accepted in Europe that the government will assume a significant role in delivering preschool education. Investment stretches back decades, helping ensure good availability and affordability, with typically high quality.

In second place is Spain, followed by Germany, Italy and France. Canada comes in at No. 6, ahead of Switzerland, Norway, U.K. and the Netherlands. The USA ended up in the 19th place.
