Although specifics are not known, this can possibly be attributed to higher consumption of alcohol amongst adolescents and rising cancer rates (oecd, 2015). Also, danes seem to enjoy a high standard of living amongst other european countries as they reap the benefits of various social infrastructure (i. e. schools, universities, hospitals, community housing, etc. ). In addition, post-secondary education is free for those in the eu/eea, which is great for students who aspire to learn and become contributing members of society (dcc & oxford research, 2010). The impoverished population of denmark can also capitalize on these opportunities and can use these services as a foundation for the betterment of their future.
