Austria’s health care system was ranked 9th in the world by the World Health Organization, and public health care is open to all with the option to purchase supplemental private healthcare options. Current ages 3 mths, 6 yrs and 9 yrs. Plus, healthcare is amazing and when the sun shines everyone sits outside with a lovely chilled glasses of wine, smiling at the boats passing by... [wails]. So you’ve decided it’s time to raise a family. Healthcare is publicly funded, with an option to purchase supplementary private insurance. Not quite so great for parents, though. I said why don't you come to London? All in all, the UK works better for us and we feel like we are part of the community here.I also struggled with the 1950's life of women - SAHM, but not by choice. Parents are entitled to 17 weeks of leave for the birth of a child, with 11 days of paternal leave as fully paid and the rest at a partial salary. Great outdoors lifestyle, lots of freedom, independence and security, excellent healthcare. Great lifestyle for teens. I can certainly see why that would be the case here in Sweden. We do go all dreamy over France and would love to know more about it but I expect the reality of living there is quite different to visiting/holidaying. They’ll be in a traditional public school system for nine years of mandatory education, after which they can choose a vocational or university track. It's because they don't live in the Netherlands.Disclaimer: we live in the UK now and seriously wish we'd never left. But for families looking to move abroad, they also have a lot of fantastic things to offer. I love living in France. the amount of support both them and myself at home get is incredible! I have heard that childcare is better quality and value. Ah yes, over the counter medicines. we always always assumed, and told everyone, that we will move back to an English speaking countrxy within the next few years.fast forward 3.5 years, ds3 is nearly 2, and ds1 and ds2 have been diagnosed with Aspergers. Wherever you may live, having helpful and involved family/friends is extremely valuable when it comes to living with young children. Maybe you can take some of that time to visit one of Sweden’s 95,700 lakes, where you might catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights or perhaps one of the many moose that call this country home. For me personally, Belgium ticked all the boxes in terms of affordable/quality childcare, good schools and healthcare. Sweden’s biggest claim to family-friendly fame, however, is the 480 days of parental leave when a couple gives birth or adopts a child, with 390 of those days being covered at 80% of normal salary. Although I do find them rather chemophobic. Your children will learn quickly in school, but it is best to give them a bit of a primer before you move! The public education system is highly regarded, and there are quite a few options for a family just moving to the country — public schools, private (often Catholic) schools, or even private International Schools, so it is important to consider what sort of education your family would like to pursue. The netherlands Amsterdam consistently ranking as one of the cities with the best quality of life. That means the country’s residents are fairly flexible with their language, though it would certainly be of great benefit to learn at least a little of each.
