Best to be a mother in scandi

[Straycat]

And here's some more from the report:

 

For instance, in Sweden , which tops the list, nearly all women are literate. In contrast, in Ethiopia, only 34 percent of women are literate. And a mother in Ethiopia is 37 times more likely to see her child die in the first year of life than a mother in Sweden.

 

* Compared to a mother in the top 10 countries, a mother in the bottom 10 countries is 25 times more likely to see her child die in the first year of life and over 500 times more likely to die herself in pregnancy or childbirth.

 

* In the bottom 10 countries, nearly 1 out of 4 children is not enrolled in school, and only 1 out of 3 adult women are literate. In the top 10 countries, virtually all children go to school and all women are literate.

 

* Trained health personnel attend fewer than 15 percent of births in Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Nepal.

 

* Fewer than 5 percent of women use modern contraception in Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda.
