Did you know
Denmark has one of the world's lowest Gini coefficients — around 0.27. In a crowd of 2,000 Danes, income is distributed far more evenly than almost anywhere else. The secret is not just high taxes but high floors: strong unions, free education through university, and universal healthcare mean the bottom half of earners still live comfortably. Equality here is structural, not aspirational.
