Liberty Scott brings you news and brief analysis of the OECD’s report out today on young people.
So to answer the first question first, according to the OECD (whose figures are far more reputable than the UN’s, even if their policy writers like big govt far more than is healthy):
- UK teens drink the most (hardly surprising. If you grew up in the UK you’d drink until you were blind too).
- Turkish teens are the most bullied but love school the most (hot for teacher?)
- Finnish teens have the best educational results (they keep bad teachers out of the system and pay good teachers a lot to teach larger classes)
- NZ teens have the highest suicide rate in the developed world (by jillikers, that Ministry of Youth Affairs is doing good work,don’t you think?), but in the UK it is a fifth of that in NZ (does the alcohol help?)
- Swiss teens take the least exercise (too much cheap public transport?)
It also says that average NZ family incomes are low. So no lessons at all here then . . .
