International NGO Save the Children indicated in its latest annual report, "State of the World’s Mothers 2013," that Finland is the best place in the world to be a mother。
The report reveals the conditions of mothers and their children in 176 countries around the globe. The report included all countries with populations in excess of 100,000.
Five indicators, including mothers' maternal health, children's well-being, educational status, economic status and political status, were used to evaluate the countries。
Finland placed top based on its strong performance in all categories and it was, in fact the only country to place in the top 12 for all five indicators. Sweden and Norway ranked 2nd and 3rd respectively。
The Democratic Republic of the Congo takes last place, with levels of maternal mortality, child mortality, educational status, poverty and women’s participation in parliament among the very worst in the world。
China ranks 68th, ahead of large emerging economies such as Brazil, South Africa and India, but trailed behind South Korea and Singapore。
The report, now in its 14th year, aims to save and improve the lives of mothers and their children。

尽管对于全世界的母亲而言,生孩子都是一生中最激动人心的时刻之一,但在不同的国家,养育孩子的难度也不尽相同。在今年母亲节(5月12日)来临之际,总部位于美国的慈善组织“救助儿童会”发布了本年度《世界母亲状况报告》。这份年度报告依据孕妇保健、儿童福利、教育程度、经济地位和政治状况5个指标,调查全球176个国家和地区的母婴健康和权益保护情形,进行“母亲友好指数”排名。
今年,一向以高福利著称的欧洲国家继续占据榜首前列,其中北欧国家芬兰位列第一,而撒哈拉以南的非洲国家仍排名末端,刚果民主共和国垫底。中国排名第68位,居主要新兴发展国家之首。
报告指出,北欧的芬兰、瑞典和挪威是最适合当母亲的国家,儿童处境最好。芬兰可以称为“母亲的天堂”,是所有五个指标排名全部进入前12名的唯一国家,产妇的死亡率只有1/12200,5岁前儿童的死亡率为1/333。
“救助儿童会”是一个国际性的非政府组织,致力于全球保护儿童的合法权益。自2000年起,“救助儿童会”每年都会在母亲节前公布《世界母亲状况报告》及“母亲友好指数”排名,今年是报告发布的第14年。
