The Family and Parenting Institute has published a report awarding the UK school-style grades on areas of family policy.
Overall the country is awarded a 'C minus' score for its family friendly status.
The country receives a 'D' grade on the cost of raising a child, on elderly care provision and on affordable family housing, a 'C minus' grade on efforts to tackle child and pensioner poverty, and a 'C' grade on providing adequate maternity and paternity leave.
The report is available to download from the Family and Parenting Institute website.
