Denmark: The happiest place on earth
Heard on the radio this morning that Denmark is the happiest place on earth.
Decided to do a little research as to why.
Denmark has the highest tax rate, from 50-70%. But they get a lot
paid for, like health care, education, etc. Puts people's minds at ease,
supposedly.
Because of the high tax rate, the incentive to go out and get a job
that pays big is lessened. Bankers end up living in the same neighborhood
with the same lifestyle as a garbage man. Nobody thinks, "I'm better than
you."
They have a 37 hour work week. 25 vacation days and 9 paid holidays.
Workers at all levels in companies are involved with the decisions of
the business.
They socialize. Over 90% of the country belongs to some sort of club. They
also do more activities with family and friends. Creates a society that is
regarded as one big family. These clubs and activities are actually subsidized
by the government!
Because of this social interaction and feeling that one belongs to the whole
group as an individual, the trust factor is huge. Mothers are known to leave
baby strollers unattended. Imagine that! Bicycles are big in transportation.
And nobody feels the need to padlock them.
As a whole, Denmark is not regarded as a consumer society. They wear
only as expensive shoes as practical as one example. The feeling is to
live below and in your means. Why spend $100 on a designer pair of shoes,
when a $10 pair does just fine?
But remember, happiness is a state of mind. Denmark was chosen as
the happiest place on earth because the citizens as a whole felt
more happy than any other people in the world.
Some social scientists have regarded their happiness as really being
most content as to their lives.
