The Economist Intelligence Unit, for metrics to determine the best places for babies to be born in 2013.
The Economist used the group’s economic forecasts
to 2030 to figure out where children born this year might be,
financially and otherwise, when they reach adulthood.
It also looked at a variety of factors -- such as
geography, demographics, state of the world economy, personal income and
security -- to come up with its conclusions.
Here are the top 10 countries for a newborn to have "the best opportunities for a healthy, safe and prosperous life in the years ahead."
Switzerland
Australia
Norway
Sweden
Denmark
Singapore
New Zealand
Netherlands
Canada
Hong Kong
"America," according to the magazine, "where
babies will inherit the large debts of the boomer generation, languishes
back in 16th place."
Nigeria comes in last.

This reminds me of Jeff Daniels' diatribe in the first episode of "The Newsroom":
"America is not the greatest country in the world anymore."
