According to Save the Children, Sweden is the best place in the world to be a mom. I'm not surprised, Sweden is very progressive, even allowing dads to take an entire year off to care for a child. Not bad at all. Countries on the top of the list include:
1 Sweden
2 Iceland
2 Norway
4 New Zealand
4 Australia
4 Denmark
7 Finland
8 Belgium
9 Spain
10 Germany
And you don't want to be a mom in any of these countries:
131 Djibouti
132 Burkina Faso
133 Ethiopia
134 Eritrea
135 Angola
136 Guinea-Bissau
137 Chad
138 Yemen
139 Sierra Leone
140 Niger
What I find most interesting is that the United States is not scoring very high on the list, taking the 26th place.

In the words of Sandy Dennis in "The Out-of-Towners"..."I can verify that." Sweden's parental leave is ridiculously generous...with the stay-at-home parent collecting up to 80% of their salary (up to a certain ceiling).
