The problem with nearly all rankings of countries in any area is that the factors used to determine the ranking can be cherry picked to get just about any result one wants. Also, it is legitimate for various people to value things differently. I might say that kids need to learn the value of hard work and long hours (that's generally what leads one to financial success in most modern, industrialized places). Finland's short school days would move them down on my list, whereas it is seen as a positive here.
For the record, I'm not arguing this point here. I don't even necessarily agree with it. I'm just giving an example of how rankings like this are of little real value.
