Which country provides the best environment for your child to grow, prosper and reach her potential?
A Gallup survey says it is in the United Arab Emirates and Gulf countries that children are treated with dignity and respect allowing them to develop into confident, well-rounded adults.
The survey ranks Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE first, second and fifth respectively ahead of many other developed economies like Luxembourg, Singapore and Switzerland.
Countries in Latin America dominate the bottom of the list with just over one in three or fewer residents of Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, Honduras, Argentina and Peru saying children in their countries are treated with respect and dignity.
According to the recent World Happiness Report, wellbeing and emotional health in childhood are the best predictors of happiness later in life.
