The Hindu : Health : Norway best for mothers, Afghanistan worst

The Hindu : Health : Norway best for mothers, Afghanistan worst: "The best place in the world to be a mom is Norway, where maternal and child mortality rates are low, women’s life expectancy and years in school are high, and the average maternity leave is about one year, a new study measuring the well-being of mothers and babies shows.

Australia and Iceland join Norway at the top of Save the Children’s 12th annual Mothers Index, released Tuesday. Afghanistan comes in last, and the United States places 31st."
