Hello i am Johan
Extract of report about ”The Danish welfare system”
In Denmark exist a system which builds on the principle that every citizen is secured by different kind of welfare assets. This ensures that no one is left in the lurch by the society. The system is made so the person that earns the most contributes to those that earn less. Popularly speaking “The ones that have the broadest shoulders should carry the heaviest load”.
The Danish Welfare system mainly consists of:
Child care, in respectively kindergarten, day nursery and after-school centres.
Education like public schools, “gymnasium”, and university.
Eldercare, this in nursing homes or with help from visits at home.
Healthcare
Unemployment benefits
Children care.
In Denmark all new born babies are offered to be taken care off in nurseries. Besides this a paid maternity leave in up to 52 weeks, for “only just gotten parents” is offered. The parents can split this between them. When the children get three years old, they can start in a kindergarten.
In the period were the children go to school, they can go to after-school centres.
At the after-school centres, the children are taken care of, from school end until their parents pick them up after work. As parents you can be sure that you can get your children looked after while you are at work. This has contributed to the effort of helping women enter the labour market. In addition the paid maternity leave has made it easier for couples to get financial surplus to get a child, because you do not need to lose a complete income from one parent.
Education.
In Denmark nine years of education is obligated, which means all children have to go to school for at least nine years. The education is paid by the government. These nine years of education, has been an important part of levering the information level of the population. Today is the nine years of education an important element of the science society, which Denmark is meant to be. After the nine years, you can choose different further educations; also paid for by the state. During the educations you get support from the state, this is called “SU”. “SU” is made so people do not choose to not get an education, because they can’t afford it. Denmark is believed to operate in the market for design, science and innovative business, all areas that makes it important to get an education.
Elder care.
In Denmark it is a basis idea that you need to help people that cannot support themselves. Many elderly people cannot handle everything in their house or flat, and can ask the State for help at home. As an alternative to this the elderly people can move to a nursing home. At the nursing home, a lot of elders live together, and have access to the help they need
Health care.
In Denmark you are secured free medical treatment from your diseases. If you get sick, you can get cured at a hospital without any expenses. This ensures that no one in Denmark will end up with out money enough to get medical attention.
Unemployment benefits.
In Denmark there are not many laws to protects the workforce. This means that firms can fire employees easily. If you get fired from a firm, you get unemployment benefits until you get a new job. This makes it easy for firms to hire people, when the growth is increasing and lay people off if necessary, due to lack of work. Firms do not need to calculate if they can afford to employ workers in a longer perspective. This makes it easier for firms to adjust to the market.
