→ Denmark – a happy country Did you know that in 2009 an OECD report named Denmark the happiest country in the world? It showed that 9 out of 10 Danes were very satisfied with their lives. This satisfaction is usually accredited to soft values such as family life, culture, social stability and recreation, rather than money and material wealth. Denmark is a rich welfare society where the state provides free health care, among other things. Free health care is also offered to international students who come to Denmark to study. Denmark is a very safe country with one of the lowest crime rates in the world. Children can walk or ride their bike to school on their own, and parents can leave their babies sleeping in prams outside cafés. 19 Study in Denmark One Institution – five regional addresses
