Profile Sheets: The Danish Societal Model
The basic principle of the Danish welfare system, often referred to as the Scandinavian welfare model, is that all citizens have equal rights to social security. Within the Danish welfare system, a number of services are available to citizens, free of charge. This means that for instance the Danish health and educational systems are free. The Danish welfare model is subsidised by the state, and as a result Denmark has one of the highest taxation levels in the world.
CAN YOU DEAL WITH DEADLINES AND DIAPERS?
Gender equality is a fundamental principle of Danish society and the driving force for welfare.
DO YOU FEEL SAFE IN A VOLATILE LABOUR MARKET?
When people talk about the Danish labour market they often use the term “flexicurity” to describe the model.
HOW DO YOU THINK ABOUT LEARNING?
High quality education at all levels is essential to ensure competitiveness in today’s globalised world. This is why education is a key priority in Denmark.
