The 10 best, and worst, countries to be a mother  
 
 
NEWSWEEK  
 
May 12 issue — Flowers are nice, but a new report from Save the Children suggests that schooling and basic health care would make better Mother’s Day gifts for many of the world’s women.  
 
IN ITS FOURTH annual “State of the World’s Mothers” report, due out this week, the group documents disparities among the 117 countries it surveyed. In the lowest-ranking countries, women die in childbirth at roughly 600 times the rate of women in the most developed countries, and their babies are 27 times more likely to perish during the first year of life. The United States, with its wide disparities in access to health care, ranks 11th. Maternal and infant mortality are higher here than in any of the top 10 countries.
