Älvdalen secures sixth place in UNICEF child ranking

Älvdalen municipality has reached sixth place nationally in a UNICEF ranking of the best places for children and young people to grow up. The success stems from targeted investments in culture and high teacher density in schools.

Älvdalen municipality ranks highest in Dalarna county and among the top ten in Sweden when UNICEF compares municipalities' economic investments in children. The municipality also secures an impressive sixth place nationally in the broader ranking of places where children and young people can grow up.

The success is linked to deliberate investments in culture and high teacher density in the schools. One of Dalarna's smaller municipalities thus outperforms several larger ones in the county.

The compilation shows that Älvdalen not only leads at the county level but also achieves a strong national position.
