Low ranking for UK in global study of teenage happiness
Western Mail
|May 14, 2025
THE UK ranks near the bottom of a league table for child wellbeing and teenage happiness, according to a global report.
-
The Unicef study found children in general across the world are more likely to underperform at school, be obese and feel unhappy than several years ago.
When compared to other high-income countries, the UK ranks 21 out of 36 for child wellbeing, while countries such as France, Spain and Portugal rank near the top. The Netherlands and Denmark retain their position as the top two places to be a child.
Elsewhere, the UK is in the bottom third of countries on child mental health (27 out of 36), while teenage life satisfaction sees the UK scoring joint second from last (with only Turkey scoring lower).
