Education in Denmark is free for all and compulsory. It consists of an ordinary system and an adult education system, including pre-school, primary and secondary education, vocational training, and higher education. Welfare ensures citizens are well through free healthcare and education, funded by high taxes. This contributes to Denmark's low inequality. "Hygge" describes a sense of coziness and well-being experienced through warm atmospheres, quality time with friends and family, candlelight, food, and drink.

When speaking of welfare, it’s about ensure the
citizens are well.

with the lowest inequality.
7. “Hygge”
Hard to explain and even harder to pronounce.
It’s roughly translates to coziness, but that
definition doesn’t quite cover it.
Hygge didn't originate in the Danish language but in
Norwegian, where it meant something like "well-
being."
8. The meaning of “hygge”
Hygge means; a nice, warm atmosphere
and enjoying the good things in life with
good people around you. The warm glow of
candlelight is hygge. Friends and family –
that’s hygge too. And let’s not forget the
eating and drinking.
