Paragraph 1
Scandinavia has ranked as the
place in the world to raise children. The Nordic
holds the top three places on the U.S. News & World Report's
of "The Best Countries for Raising Kids" in 2020. The list has been compiled
since 2016 in
with the University of Pennsylvania. Denmark topped the list, with Sweden a
runner-up, and neighbour Norway edging out Canada for third place. The 2020 listings will come as little
as the three nations also ranked
on the list for 2019. A spokeswoman explained: "These countries tend to have
paternal leave and maternal leave, offer free preschool and have good
public education systems."
