Denmark Is Considered One Of The Happiest Places In The World | TODAY
If I had a dollar for every single time, an American news station mentioned Denmark and happiness in the same context...
Freedom does not equate happiness at all. With freedom comes the need for responsibility and worrying about taking care of your own interests. In Denmark many things are handled by the state. We live in a socialistic democracy on the free market.. We have a mixed economy.
Look at these "news" programs. Or more correctly, "programming". They are globalist creations trying to push socialism on American. There's an agenda and it isn't altruistic.
+Rick W You can't seriously demonize socialism. If you do you simply haven't researched what you're talking about. The US has socialistic systems in place all over to provide a safety net for its citizens. Countries are socialistic in varying degrees and it's not something you can just change from day to day.
In my opinion we have the ideal mix in Denmark. It does mean heavy taxes, but the upside is: Roads, water, schools(including university), study aid($625/mo if you live away from parents) libraries, medical aid, in large parts medicine and many other things are taken care of by governmental institutions. Aside from that it pays to work and you're not in debt after you've finished your education.
This way you have freedom to chase your dreams, the government has your back for the most part and when you start working, what isn't taxes, is yours. This puts a lot less stress on the citizens. I am aware that Americans have a slightly higher buying power because of our taxes, but everything we get in return is worth it.
AtotehZ ...I didn't demonize socialism. I simply stated what I see as the agenda behind these American TV programs. Also, keep in mind, the outcome of the survey isn't a fact. It is just based on asking and getting an answer. I question the result due to things that are facts, such as high antidepressant use and suicide rate. Again, I think there is an agenda.
Yes, it is true all nations use some degree of socialism. That's obvious to most.
I want to inform you that I hold no animosity toward Denmark. I've been to Copenhagen three times and think it's a wonderful city. Best wishes.
Rick W When you see an agenda that doesnt mean it'll bring changes. All changes in a country are discussed by people elected by the people and if the changes are big.. often for years.
They succeed because they govern by what has actually been shown to work, instead of what's dictated by primitive ideological models. They are neither left nor right, they are mixed. It's an ideology of pragmatism. Smart people look to Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, Sweden) to see how near-perfect societies are built.
we have a mediocre country, theres no success here in denmark.. name one major invention we made
thats unfare your population and land mass is tiny compared to germany uk and france and didnt you win the euo cup not so long ago your discribing ego and vanity in a place where only freedom and happines matter WHO CARES WHO DID WHAT maradona is the greatest footballer ever doesnt stop argentina being a corrupt shithole tho does it
also, wtf, are you calling sweden a success? are you piffling insane? have you no idea whats going on over there?
Near perfect? lmao good joke
@Mr Mr how is niels bohr an invention? are you dumb?
This is what real happiness is: overall life satisfaction and a sense of balance & fairness, NOT what most people perceive as happiness, which is basically joy.
My Mother was born in Denmark and came to Canada when she was a child, she says it's Beautiful, would love to visit one day..
So proud of my country ❤️. #DK
lovely people
Can I come move with you
Tina Lundquist Jeg elsker Denmark specially in Skagen.
Denmark is the best country ... I never experience any kinds of racism there for living 3 years. Danish people are really nice and good person. So how come someone here says they are racist? Maybe few yes but not all. If you not know Denmark helps many like the africans. My husband friend and his organization build schools in remote area of africa from the funds of many individual. Don't judge if you don't like to be judge and always remember that all of us can be fall into immorality, selfishness and etc. Denmark help silently and heartedly and they are not bragging about it. I not a danish but a married one. Danish also helps many refugees and I made friends w/ few of them and danish really nice to them giving them a job ang shelter. And one more thing danish not fake if they like u they like you if not they will show which good because no plastics attitude just a transparent.
Make sure your friends all take their antidepressants and everyone will be happy happy.
They actually pay their people a living wage in those countries like Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Norway. Bernie Sanders gets a lot of his ideas from those countries.
Sweden doesn't even have a minimum wage. Just strong unions
l4nky2 same with denmark, no min wage, just strong unions
Yet, Denmark is not socialistic. Venezuela is. And they have strict immigration laws.
They say healthcare is free and free education into college. With income tax at 60-70%, how do you call that free?
+joskemom where do you get those numbers from 60-70% ?
If you have a job where you' earn good money you pay top tax around 56% If you have lower income it's around 40% .
Happiness sounds so nice...
Way better than depression over financial obligations. The fact that I could lose not only my job but my healthcare tomorrow if I were fired goes to show just how good they have it in socialist countries. The freedom to be a complete failure in life is more like imprisonment.
It Is that village mentality what they have and make you feel more contented
No it is the abuse of alcohol! Their regime gives them money makes them drunk apparently happy!
True enough!!!! Not only the happiest people on earth but also the kindest!!! I've witness that my self! Sooo proud to be there.❤️
i doubt you are the kindest but you are definitely one of the most depressed
look at the statistics of usage of anti depressants
Denmark is the best country in the whole World, we are just allways happy and in Denmark we have a word called hygge ( hygge is like cosy and just being happy and relax with the people you love ) people are nice and happy and its just the most amazing place 🇩🇰♥️
take your anti depressants
@@beo191 Take your opioids
Part of the secret in the Scandinavian countries has *got* to be the Omega-3 found in all that great fish they eat. there.
Wow what an incredibly gorgeous mansion. I'd be happy too, lol.
:-) This guy is actually a the grandgrandgrand son of a former King. The castle is inheritance - but he is educated and works as a carpenter :-) LoL
I’m Danish and I’m happy to not have been so unlucky to have been born in USA 😝
Rød grød med fløde
fem flade flødeboller på et fladt flødebolle fad.
My wife is not Danish....but she tries to speak the lingo. Anyway, when our kids were around two they would ask her to say rødgrød etc....and when she tried,, and failed spectacularly, they would be rolling on the floor screaming with laughter.
@@mochtegerndane7097 three toughest letters in the world: æÆ øØ åÅ and we got em all :D
I wanna go to Denmark, guys I know code I can work lol I'll be a good citizen!
It's difficult to get to migrate to Denmark, but you can find more information from this official page: www.workindenmark.dk/
You're safer in Tunisia then in Denmark, massive crimewave hitting the country and it's coming from Sweden. The borders between the two countries are now closed.
@KALEIDO jess What kind of code do you know then?
aaa...i been going to europe all my life. i lived in LosAngeles too. this April bfor my bday on 9...i be goin bk to Kolding Denmark to settle. i was living in Aarhus also Copehg. i hv lived in Germany. my husband built roads all over europe.
Denmark is nice.
What such a a good country !
The Netherlands also is a bicycle country
Idk I think there is a lot of similarities between the two
Do more of these please
no thanks
we have heard these lies from the media for 10 years
Beautiful how they Value and Respect Children. Just Beautiful! I Love that they Value Family Life. Give me a Dane anyday!!
Child pornography was legal in denmark up until recent times.
@@beo191 WHAT??? You just keep spreading lies like this. WHO are you?
Jeg er glad
I'm Danish, I'm happy. Even living here in the USA where the national emotion seems to be hatred towards the fellow human. To each his / her own but I remain happy nonetheless.
Travles to Denmark rises to 100%
Garbage man is a great job here. I would go for it and I'm an educated whealter. It's great working hours and great pay for the amount of Work. Denmark is great. I love my country.
At 1:32 how do you work five hours a day? I love that.
workday is 7½ hour, 5 days a week or 37 hours a week
woohoo Denmark
I work 20 hours a week normally and make 42 dollars an hour ar night its twice the amount and if I work more than 45 hours a week Its double yet again and Its a student job i study yes and i am a dane
how much are cars taxed in Denmark 85% -150% , 200hp gt86 is $75000usd
trust me...its not all happy times in Denmark! we have our problems in the social security society just as well. percentagewise we might do well, but that doesnt mean that everyone have a great time here
beautiful. Thanks for the video.
"Do you have any hesitation telling people you are a garbage man?" Good job going up to the man and insulting him telling him you think he's a piece of crap because he's a garbage man.
Well, as a Dane, the clip was heavily sugarcoated. Most people lock their doors, don't eat with their neighbors ever and yes, there is road rage among cyclists ... lots of it, actually.
Road rage. Only small scale. Go look at those Russian clips of their traffic and you'll see road rage.
As for locking doors, well yes. However we aren't so scared we all need assault weapons to feel safe.
I've been biking and driving for around 37 years of my life, I have never seen a roadrage incident in Denmark.
There seem to be an awful lot of Americans in the comments, blaming homogeneity for our greater happiness. I guess ignorance really is bliss, West of the Atlantic. It's apparently inconveivable, that the reason we're better off than them, is due to better policies, less corruption and adaption to the modern world, and not because about 9/10 are ethnically Danish. We don't judge anyone based on their race or sexuality, but on their ideology. America was founded on the idea of being tolerant and embracing immigrants, but those who consider themselves most patriotic seem to be steering far away from these notions. I hope you can repair your broken political system, and get back on track.
1/10 af vores befolkning er etniske danskere? hvor har du den statistik fra? Sidst jeg tjekkede var det nok nærmere 8/10 er etniske danskere, men okay.
Undskyld - der skulle stå 9/10 D:
Jeg læste det nok enten på Danmarks Statestik, eller på den dansk- eller engelsksprogede side om Danmarks demografi på Wikipedia, hvorvidt 8/10 er mere passende, ved jeg ikke. Godt det blev opdaget, så jeg ikke går og spreder "alternative facts" :P
Nå okay så er du tilgivet lol, ja med den mængde "alternative facts" man kan finde i de her kommentarer er det nok bedst ikke at mudre vandene yderligere. Jeg ved heller ikke om 8/10 passer bedre, det kan også være 9/10 er mere passende (1/10 ved jeg i hvert fald ikke passer haha) jeg går personligt ikke op i hvor stor en del af befolkningen er etnisk Danske, udover at det da ville være rart hvis det forblev størstedelen da det stadig, og forhåbentlig altid, vil være DANmark ;) jeg kalder det hygge-nationalisme.
gjaddajg: Completely Agree with YOU.
Gustav Riisberg: Sorry that you have to Read So Much American ignorance. BUT know that Not All Americans think that way.
Really enjoyed this segment!
🇩🇰🇩🇰Proud to born in my lovely Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰
take your anti depressants
@Donald J. Trump jealous much??
@Donald J. Trump Says the guy from the country that had a huge trend of antidepressant use
Donald J. Trump And? Atleast i dont shoot a school because im sad.-
@@reginasemenenko148you’re deluded.
Denmark accept me, I'm young educated and bilingual lol I think my city has stuff in common with Denmark too, but we're not there yet.
Just show up and claim asylum. You'll be rescued, given accommodation, food, clothes, pocket money, even internet.
First off, there is no way genetics determines 40% and environment only 15%. And as far as the "extra" being up to you, and Denmark having it "figured out," Denmark is literally the environment, which she just said was only 15%.
I thought the people from the thumbnail were Dax and Kristen Bell 😂
I’ve been there
When I close my eyes, I hear Steve Carell .
lol yes
As I read somewhere once, what's neat about Denmark is an equal distribution of wealth, few rich and few poor. But then a population of 5 something million, less than 1 percent of the world's population.
I almost thought this was CNN
A great piece! A tip of the hat and thank you to Cynthia McFadden and TODAY!
My dream to study MBBS in Denmark
Their key? Not a lot of Arabs, blacks, and Latinos
I wish I could visit there someday from the Philippines
It's perfect to be happy about where you come from but remmember you shouldn't proud of it :)
Who are you to tell people what to feel? Mind your own business.
But ,but,but Fox news/State media say's Socialism,Socialism
because the unhappiest one is already gone missing
A OECD report suggests the moods of Scandinavian nations may be more closely linked to medicine than anything else. The chart depicts the relative amounts of antidepressant consumption across several different European nations. Iceland - not technically in Scandinavia but nearby - leads with 101 daily doses per 1,000 people. Denmark, Sweden and Finland are all close behind, with Portugal the only outlier. Norway ranks ninth. LOL... ironic huh? www.opposingviews.com/health/worlds-happiest-countries-take-most-antidepressants
America, take note....
Yeah, of how stupid socialistic programs are. They inevitably go bankrupt (which all the Nordic countries are now cutting back).
GreyWolfLeaderTW USA is 20 trillion dollars in debt... LOL
^^ Thats due to excessive loans taken out which has nothing to do with socialism by the way, also USA's funding of its military industrial complex (which is the most spent in the word in proportion to GDP) obviously contributed to the 20 trillion debt
I'm Danish😂
Hi Ho : I think Denmark is the most happiest country in the world because they don’t have Democrats
Wow
Truths and half truths. I lived in Denmark for half a year, commuting between a small town and Copenhagen. Can't say people are happier in any conspicuous way, but it is true that people are more equal partly because the pay discrepancy is not high. People pay ridiculous tax for medicare, education and refugees from Somalia. Certainly compared to NYC, Copenhagen is heaven and Danes are saints.
Wow. These Danish people have to tell the truth about efficiently run democratic socialism.
Chelo Figueroa or how market economy is great
very interesting and lovely
why do you find lies to be interesting and lovely?
Esdynu why do i see you in every denmark videos with hate comments
@@cecii5637 Probably Swedish
Import a few thousand hardcore homies from L.A., New Orleans, or Detroit and see what happens to Denmark's happiness.
Amsterdam and the Netherlands cycle more than Copenhagen and Denmark. Both are hugely advanced societies.
best country in the world but I'm not happy I'm depressed
This is what life without corporate America looks like. I have experienced the same sense of happiness here in Germany. I don’t have 38 choices of whole grain cereal or 40 types of jelly, but as the main shopper for a family of 5 I never liked all that anyway. The market for clothing is extremely different too. There are far less name brands. The only clothing I ever see with wording are American themed shops. It really has come down to less pressure on the people to buy, buy, buy and more push for people to be outside. Here every village has a bustling park, a constant stream of people in the outdoor venues. People here really do spend more time face to face. Down time is considered mandatory. I can no longer find anything open at 9pm except an occasional restaurant and that is because you are never asked to leave. You sit and enjoy your time as you eat. It’s not 100% free of corporate pushing, but it has come to be the main cause of why America to me is so much less happy to me. I’m sure others would see this differently of course.
You could have argued that in Denmark you cant even have Corporate America. I was simply stating things as I have experienced them. I appreciate the 2 paragraph rant on how wrong I am. I didnt even comment on Denmark. I commented on Germany. I agree on the unity. It’s very hard to have unity in any community when you are spending all your time working, driving to work, etc. The point was more that America has put working before people. To make matters worse the people who say, cant find employment, are free to spend their time outdoors or getting to know the people in their community, but our environment has been changed to keep people apart. It is a choice and people need to start demanding change inside the US. I think this was great because when people see how things are in other places we can see that there are issues and ways to change our environment for the better.
I bet there are a ton less lawyers. I’ve seen a huge difference in how lawyers are in Germany v the US.
@@samueljones621 :-( ... are you raving mad? or what? What is your background? (I'm a Dane)
Finn Krone - my back ground is that i am NOT a raving lunatic what you call a leftist
:O - we actually look at policies as in Politics & what their actual effects are on society - letting some PROSTITUTE / politician take control of a citizen's finance is a scam - you cannot have any right without FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE from the Politicians & Corporates at the top - if the masses are converted into WELFARE CATTLE who need to be fed - it only applies what comes next for the CATTLE WELFARE SLAVES ;D
@Finn Krone - EVERY RIGHT OF A CITIZEN IS DEPENDENT ON ONE THING:
Financial independence from Politicians & every other entity of power - without financial independence & the ability to earn your own money to live - you are just SLAVES with zero power or life. cant keep mooching off US NATO $$$
Danish people are thought not to brag. You are no better than anyone else, and you shouldn't put yourself above others. This very basic for danish people and it comes natural to most of them, as it would feel very awkward not to follow the social order on this one. Even when they win medals and competitions they always keep a straight face and talk about how great of a fight the other team put up.
Janteloven (The Law Of Jante) explains most this behavior. People tend to behave like this in all the Nordic countries.
I'm from Denmark and i'm happy here, but if i had to move somewhere it would be Norway, they have all this figured out even better than us danes.
Bjarke And: AWESOME. I LOVE THE NON-BRAGGING ( Non-Selfish) BEHAVIOR OF THE DANES.
why do you keep bragging that you are more happy than everyone else when you have some of the highest usage of anti depressants worldwide?
Esdynu Go watch some more of your fake news outlets... you are a sad clown, who spouts nothing but ignorance.
@@beo191 There is a very good Tedxtalk about why we have the highest usage of antidepressants - But to keep it short, because the average danish citizen is so happy, it can become very hard for others to keep up and therefore depression - Search for "The dark side of happiness by Meik Wiking" he explains it in more detail and way better than I do
And of course I had to be born in America.....
Ryan G Choose difficulty.
Easy: Scandinavia
Medium: U.S.A, etc
Hard: Korea, asia, russia, etc
your privileged to be born in America. Imagine if you were born in a poor African or Asian nation
Personal freedom, lower life expectations and no need of religious fanaticism.. that is probably the recipe you should strive for..
being Danish, I´m obviosly biased - but no royalty or goverment top can live without trash being removed, letters brought out or tele on the tele - who`s more important than the other ?
they think we didn't notice them push their agenda 2030 on us
I thought Saul went to Omaha not Copenhagen!
In my Car community group in Australia on Facebook , we have 100,000 members , 1000 millennial members live In Denmark , Most Young people love cars but the taxed 85% -150% . SO most cant afford there dream cars
lol you can buy a used car for 1000 dollar.. or a good model, used one for 3000 dollar .. or go for a new wich cost ..well.. not a fortune but alot depending on your income
Most young people cant afford their dreamcars anyway unless they are a millionair. Also, we have cars split up into two taxgroups here in denmark wich is why its like this.
I thought there was gonna be snow
Chilli Cheese Fries HAHAHHAHAH. IS THIS SOME JOKE IM TOO DANISH TO UNDERSTAND?
no joke. Throughout my life i have only seen snow in denmark 3 times.
Not too much. Now California has this kind of manner education that i think the Danes would love to do a research on us.
Ha ha ha really happy culture.

To be Clear, Healthcare is not free, when your taxes are almost 50% of wages, yes there are shared benefits, but there will always be the drive to excel in human nature. But to this video's credit, Denmark is doing some good clever but different things and they are working.
Why do people really feel the need to point out, that "the health care isn't free"... ?!?
I really do think that pretty much everybody realise there are still bills to pay.
If you would bother to do a small amount of resaerch, you'd find out, that every other nation pays WAAAAY less than US per capita, when it comes to Health Care - And unlike YOU, WE actually get to go to the doctor!!
Denmark is mix of socialism and capitalism
I live in Denmark and it is very difficult to interact with anybody here. Danes are highly closed towards new guys almost introverts I would say. Everything else in this video was more or less correct. I love the most the non-bragging thing in here. You cannot brag unless you want to be banished :D Nobody is above or beneath you.
Danes are introvert.. aye.. but when you get a friend you'll have a friend for life.. We are a little hard to figure out but very friendly.
Who pays for military protection?
They do
Why Denmark is the Happiest Country ??? Tortilla Flats Vejle Amigos !!!!!!!

Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen
Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen is the former president and CEO of The Lego Group. According to Forbes, Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen is the richest Dane with a net worth of $21.2 billion as of March 2017.
I don't get your logic...
One of the first countries in the consummation of antidepressants......very happy indeed.....
Alkmp75 Ay. I’d rather take drugs then shoot a school because im sad
@Alkmp75 Not true.. And if the US were included they would come in number one 🙄 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_antidepressant_consumption
Now Norway is number 1. and Denmark is number 2.
I'm a Dane, and i'm not happy, maybe i should move to Norway :)
Good idea. They have better wages, and better policies.
Policies? Do you even understand the word? Your comment doesn't make sense.

Republicans and conservative will come up with all sorts of nonsensical talking points to dismiss Denmark's system
And they are wrong.
This guy’s obviously never been to the Netherlands...
Its not always happy time here in Denmark, we got alot of politics problems, and more. We arent that great
as the media says we are.
American media lie about australia and uk aswell
Where would rather live, Hamza?!
Cindy. You get my vote on American having to spend 80% of time in their car being miserable & Sucks
Then you have Trish Regan of Fox News comparing Denmark to Venezuela...
On last pictures she seems to have lost her legs entirely to bicycling !!

THERE ARE More Challenges, BEYOND This ! HOW, To MAKE, 1 billion + Living Environments The HAPPIEST !
REGARDS,
Herman Karsowidjojo Why would i need 1 billion if my whole life is insured?
Assalamalikum, I just thinking those countries Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia,Latvia,Lithuania, people are cold nature, non feeling, non warming , non welcoming, keep distance and non socializing. May be I am totally wrong.
I live in Canada, I preferred , Italian, Spanish from Spain, Greek, Turkish, mexico nations . who have a more friendly. But video is great.
Well, at least the Danes Like to Work. You cannot Say the same about people in the U.S.A.
a lot of people gets stressed out from work in denmark
Sweden has problems, with refugees taking from the Swedish welfare and not contributing. Norway, Finland, and Sweden are some of the highest in taxes?
Higher taxes don't mean more expensive taxes when we're comparing 2 countries. It's not like taxes are a universally identical package. Some countries, like the u.s, don't include a lot of things that you have to pay for any way in their tax package. But you're still paying for it, whether you call it taxes or not.
@@ujmm I see someone who is trying to convince himself high taxes are ok! But you are right there are different types of high taxes, property, tax, gas guzzler tax, but I can move from Oregon or California and not pay high taxes and support idiots like Gavin Newsom!
Highest Taxes but have bigger returns that covers universal healthcare, education and other services
Nice country but i prefer Switzerland
Good for you.
Perfect example of why social democracy works.
Avinash Singh Norway's running out of money.Thier social services are crap.The market is still strong enough to help tough.
high taxes and lots of depressed people and you are saying it works
Esdynu how are We depressed..?
400.000 on anti depressants
Esdynu Its about 3-5 procent of danes
hmmm it's almost as if humans are happier in small homogeneous societies as opposed to shallow multicultural megacities
Trey Waka the Japanese and Koreans are even more homogenous and yet look at the suicide rate
Actually; Vienna, capital of Austria, always get in top 10 most happy cities and 40% of its population are immigrants. It essentially has something to do with locals' life quality. Well, civilization.
Denmark isn't homogeneous.
90% of Denmark are of Danish origin. Roughly 95% are of Danish or western origin. That sounds pretty homogeneous to me
Homogenity isn't only about genetics, Denmark is much less politically homogenous than the US f.ex. and politics that favor the middle class and seeks to create a larger middle class is a large part of why we are statistically more happy.
See how happy Danes are probebly because they ride on bikes😀
Total bullcrap
Nothing is free, you pay alot of taxes so it feels its free
Robert moss Hey! Atleast i dont have to worry about being killed off in hospital because i can’t pay for the bill! Nor do i have to worry bout being educated too the fullest because my parent’s bank account is stacked
Slavo Ashur Knight Of Templar good for you , yep its great living in Denmark, im from here too👍 but we still pay a lot of taxes so we can get all these things and a good living
