Sri Lanka Named World’s Most Family-Friendly Country in 2025

Date:

Sri Lanka has been ranked as the world’s most family-friendly country, according to a new report highlighted by Condé Nast Traveller.

The ranking comes from a study by Remitly, an American remittance company, which launched a new Immigration Index to help individuals considering relocation. The report, released in March 2025, evaluates 82 countries based on 24 factors, including healthcare quality, economic strength, safety, and digital connectivity, assigning each a total score of 100.

One key factor in the rankings was a country’s family-friendliness, which considered aspects such as education quality, accessibility, and childcare affordability.

Sri Lanka topped the list due to its strong education system, scoring 0.7 out of 1.0, and its low annual childcare cost of just $354.60 per year—a stark contrast to the United States, which ranked 10th with an annual childcare cost of $16,439.40.
