According to the Report Card  North-European countries dominate the top half of the table, with child well-being at its highest in the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Norway has also high, 7th position.

 

The report provides comprehensive assessment of the lives and well-being of children and young people in 21 nations of the industrialized world. The report represents a significant advance on previous titles in this series which have used income poverty as a proxy measure for overall child well-being in the OECD countries. Specifically, it attempts to measure and compare child well-being under six different headings or dimensions:

material well-being,

health and safety,
