A new report showed that the quality of life for children in South Korea ranked low compared to 35 other countries due to the country's competitive education system.

As of 2019, children in South Korea rated their level of happiness at eight-point-41 out of ten, putting the country in 31st place and tying with Taiwan.

The only countries trailing South Korea were Nepal, Hong Kong and Vietnam in that order. The country that ranked highest was Albania, followed by Romania and Greece.
