Canada was just ranked the 5th best country in the world to raise a child

Well folks, you’ll be happy to hear that Canada has been named among the best countries in the world to raise a child. A new report from the publication CEOWORLD has created the list. Let’s see what they have to say.

The list apparently surveyed 260,000 people across 159 countries. Then, final decisions were made based on data from organizations like the OECD, the World Economic Forum, and the United Nation’s Economic and Social Council.
