The UK is bottom of a league table for child well-being across 21 industrial countries, charity Unicef has said.
The study looked at 40 indicators including poverty,
relationships with parents, health and safety, behaviour, and
children's own sense of well-being.
The Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Finland headed the list, with the UK in last place just behind the US.
The Children's Society described the findings as "shocking" and said the UK was failing children.
