Sverige bäst för mammor!

Hurra, enligt Rädda Barnen (Save the Children) hamnar Sverige på topplats för mammor. Det är hälsa, ekonomi och utbildning som gör att Sverige rankas högst

"– Vi ska vara stolta över att Sverige kommer väl ut i internationella jämförelser vad gäller barns rättigheter och mammors situation, säger Eva Svedling, chef för Kunskap och Utveckling på Rädda Barnen."

Alla de nordiska länderna ligger bland topp 10!

Här är receptet på varför Sveige är bäst för mammor:

"Sweden is one of the best places in the world to be a mother
or a child, no matter one’s level of income – but it was not always
so. In the 1920s, the poorest babies were up to 3.5 times more
likely to die before reaching their first birthday,and the child
survival gap was a source of political concern.
In the 1930s, the Swedish government introduced a series of
new policies, including free maternal and child health services,
financial support to low-income families and general welfare and
housing reforms. The preventive maternal and child health services
rapidly achieved extensive coverage and particularly benefited the
poor. By 1950, maternal health services covered about 60 percent
of all pregnant women and child health services covered more than
80 percent of infants.
These reforms led to significant reductions in social inequity
and infant mortality.Today in Sweden, inequity in infant
mortality has been almost eliminated and Swedish children –
rich and poor alike – enjoy one of the lowest rates of child mortality
in the world.

Why is Sweden number one?
Sweden performed as well as or better than other countries in the
rankings on all the indicators. It has the highest ratio of female-tomale
earned income, the highest percentage of women with seats
in the national government and – along with Iceland – the lowest
under-5 mortality rate in the world."

Slutsats: en generell och hög välfärd för alla gynnar mammor! Det ska bli spännande o se när det kommer statistik om pappor!
