Italy has been considered the best place for living for children, but not for their mothers. Such conclusion has been made by the famous international charity organization "Save the children". The organization performs the yearly monitoring in 146 countries of the world to determine which of them are the best not only fro children and their mothers, but also for women in general.

Italy is already for the second year is considered the best country for children, but stands on the 19-th place of the living conditions rating for the mothers and on the 24-th place for women.

Scandinavia has been considered the best region for mothers and women. Sweden occupies the first place in both categories. Norway - the second for mother and the fifth for women, Iceland stands on the third place in both cases and Germany has the fifth and sixth places after the New Zealand that got the fourth places for moms and the second for women. After Italy, Sweden, France and Belgium, the best place for the kids is Germany.

According to the research, held by the organization, the lower border of this rating shows pretty severe conditions for living for most of women and children of the planet.

"The wellness of the mother and her kid are inseparable,- tells the President of the "Save the children,- Charles McCormack.- No wonder that in the places that are considered by our organization to be the worst for mothers, children also die early"."Unfortunately, the difference between the health and the wealth of women in rich and poor countries is huge",- he has noted. "In the well-developed countries, where a woman has access to the basic medical aid, the child birth becomes a happy moment for a family,- he said,- when in the poor countries, where the medical assistance is very weak or is completely absent, this becomes a real tragedy".

During the creation of the report, the organization has appreciated such indicators as the risk of mother deaths, percentage of the women, using modern contraceptives, qualified birth service, women longevity, supposed length of the official education for women, the proportion between the incomes of women and men, the conditions of the maternity leave, participation of women in the governmental work. The analysis that has been performed over the children part of the countries population has included the indicators of weight of children younger than 5 years, amount of pupils in the schools, boys to girls rate among those who enter the primary school. The research has also considered the access of women and children to the clean potable water.
