Does Danish welfare make you lazy‪?‬ Let’s Talk About Denmark

    • Society & Culture

The Danish welfare state ensures social benefits such as free education, medical care and subsidized childcare. University students get study grants, social benefits are available for people in need, and homelessness is rare. This episode argues that welfare does not take away the incentive to work, and that high taxes go hand in hand with economic growth.
Host: Emma Elisabeth Holtet.
Guest: Professor Carsten Jensen, Aarhus University.
