In Canada, 1 5 formative years have to stand steady bullying, UNICEF says
A global study of UNICEF suggests that many Canadian children are unhappy, social conflict such as bullying and difficulty in making friends between sources of their pain.
19th report card of UNICEF One of the five youths in Canada has to face continuous bullying, one in five is alone and one of the four conflicts to make friends.
This specifically blames the bullying specifically for a decline in life satisfaction mentioned by 15 -year -old children, up to 76 percent of the three percentage points since 2018.
This marks the largest slide of Canada among the categories examined by the report, which compared the well -being of Canadian children in other rich countries between 2018 and 2022.
Despite being one of the 10 most wealthy countries studied, Canada finished 19th of 36 countries in total, with teenage suicides, child mortality and social skills towards the lower end.
The head of an early teaching unit at the British Columbia, the University of Vancouver, stated that the findings are particularly disappointing as Canada must have resources to address young conflicts, and social factors that increase them.
Director of Human Early Learning Partnership, Dr. Mariana Bruceoni said, “Children, in many ways, are worsening. The supports are decreasing rather than increasing.”
“Children are part of families, which are part of communities and neighborhoods and societies, so they are not just children (are struggling).

Some experts say that classroom cellphones will improve learning and reduce bullying, but others say they are still a useful tool for student safety.
A fellow report has also been released on Tuesday which focuses on it Canadian conclusion Bulling says that low life is a major contributor to the satisfaction of lower life, with 22 percent of the 15 -year -old children said they were often ranked 26th out of 40 countries.
Give priority to children and youth, UNICEF Canada is called
Canada finished 28th out of 41 countries for social skills, one of the four 15-year-old children said that it was not easy to make friends in school-slightly higher than the average and part of a worrying trend.
The President and CEO of UNICEF Canada, said in a release, “This report is in a headlines on areas that we are preferred to our children and youth: their health, safety, education and happiness,”.
“I am very disappointed with UNICEF Canadian young advocate Matin Mordkhan,” How the life satisfaction of children and youth is falling in Canada. Good mental health is the foundation of childhood, yet it is ignored. “
“We are calling for fundamental policy change for our education, money and health care systems, so every child and young person get an opportunity to flourish.”
Child mortality improved slightly
Social skills in the study of funds of the United Nations children were largely stable during an unusual time period when Covid-19 enhances daily routine for many families.
In Canada, epidemics forced classes to transfer online to most parts of the country, canceled some additional activities and restricted meetings.
The study stated, “This indicator changed relatively low between 2018 and 2022 – seven out of 36 countries increased by more than five percent, while only one was significantly reduced.”
“It is a positive indication that in view of concerns about the possible effects of school closure during Covid-19 epidemic.”
Nevertheless, Bruceoni says that these trends were present before the epidemic and still continue today, requiring vigilance to ensure that correct supports are available early in a child’s life when it pays much more than “trying to fix things later.”
Canada finished 13th for overall life satisfaction, and although a slight decline, the study states that it was not considered statistically important.
The study also found that Canada improved suicide and child mortality rates, but still finished 33rd out of 42 countries for suicide, and 25 of 43 countries for child mortality.
Since 2018, the teenage suicides fell from 10.1 per 100,000 to 8.4, but beyond an average rate of 6.2 per 100,000 per 100,000, suicide remains a major cause of death of teenagers.
The mortality rate in children between the ages of five to 14 years fell from 0.94 to 0.88 per 1,000 to 0.88, but this improvement was less than profit in most other countries, while there was little progress in addressing overweight children – more than one in four.
Canada’s only top 12 ranking was in educational skills, where it finished sixth of 42 countries.
Partner’s report, “childhood interrupted: How the well-being of Canada compares other rich countries” urges all the levels of the government for measures to doubling child disability benefits, overcrowding of income benefits and parents’ leaves and marketing and more protection from digital horms for infant care.
It also says for better accountability of Jordan’s principle, to ensure that the children of the first nation do not face delays or denials in reaching government services to ensure that the Canadians established by the Human Rights Tribunal.
