Sounds like the last country I would ever want to raise a family in.

Sounds like a country with free healthcare and education, one the highest labour productivity in Europe and 3rd country in Happiness Index, sooo


-
Happiness index is a pile of bull. There is difference between genuine happiness and putting on a mask with a smile. Scandinavians resemble robots, definitely not the happiest people.
-
Yeah that State paid 9-12 month maternity leave isnt a place to raise kids in hahaha .
-
Yeah, we got many good privileges but sadly that has turned into a fight against immigrants and refugees because some people think they need to defend these values and privileges. Many parties here are against refugees. Some of us danes are not like that though...
-
Yeah, some of us Danes would like Denmark to remain Danish as that has been rather a success for the past 1500-2000 years. Turning Denmark into an Arabic state is not such a great idea. You want to live the Arabic way - go south.

Arabic is a language, Caroline.

And an area. And a culture.

Why separate? Do it collaboratively.

That’s what we are thinking too.

This isn't exactly what has been suggested. They suggest that daycare is made mandatory for "ghetto" children for 25 hours per week. The idea is to strengthen language development.
-
Søren, the wording is learning Danish values. And it's not a suggestion, it's a law. The mandatory part is that you have the option to decline the "offer" if you want to lose your state childrens money, around 18000 DKK per year/child and that's a lot for a low income family.
-
Yes and I don't think it should be mandatory. But I think the word "separated" has particular connotations right now that are different from "day care".
-
It does show however, governments across the world feeling more rights to your children than you do.

25 hours away from family at 1 year old!!? WTF? That’s just forced day care and keeping children from bonding as they should with parents. Wait a couple years and they’re in school.
-
Almost all Danish children are in daycare from around 9-12 months of age. I don't agree that it should be mandatory, but I also do not agree that's it's damaging.
-
Yeah, and also parents both spend a lot of time with them as babies. There’s probably more bonding than in the US because of maternity/paternity leave.
-
Once the parents start working, most (also the very young) children spend 6-9 hours in daycare every day. They are basically raised by strangers. We have a lot of benefits in Denmark, but that doesn't mean we can't do better. Sadly it's going the other way.
-
There should be more ability for parents to do that with policy support from government and business. If a family is lucky enough to be able to do it, they should not be forced to put them in day care.

Very good point
