As per the 12th annual Mother's Index 2011 released by 'Save the Children', Norway ranks No.1 - as the best place in the world to be a mother and Afghanistan ranks last (worst place to be mother). UK came in at 13, Canada ranked 20, and the United States comes in at no. 31 among the 43 developed countries. This census is based on health, education and economic conditions for women and children in 164 countries.
Seven indicators were considered for women in each developed country:
1. risk of maternal death,
2. how many women use modern contraception,
3. life expectancy,
4. years of schooling,
5. maternity leave benefits,
6. how much women earn as compared to men and
7. the percentage of women in government.
The study also measured three indicators for children: primary and secondary school enrollment numbers and childhood mortality rates in each country.
