“Denmark’s richest citizens are finding themselves cut off from some welfare benefits as Scandinavia’s weakest nation reviews state-paid services once considered a universal right. Danes, who carry the world’s highest tax burden, have punished the Social Democrat-led government for their lost benefits. Since coming into office in 2011, the government has cut state aid for the unemployed and raised the retirement age. College and university students are means tested before gaining access to study grants. The decision marks a departure from the principle of welfare for all, regardless of income level, that had dominated Danish politics before the financial crisis.”
