In most of the developing countries, a lifestyle breakdown is a matter of life or death. These are the people who have water, and the people who do not have, the people who have weapons, and the people who do not. Or it is a source of extreme inequality, such as possession of land or oil.
In the West, it tends to be more trivial. Maybe not in the US, where it has health insurance, in the UK it is whether you can afford to send your toddlers to childcare.
In Denmark, where the lifestyle division is whether you own a holiday home, it has always been relatively affordable to send your children to day care thanks to generous government subsidies.
In fact, people in Denmark face the seventh lowest cost in Europe, according to a new money.co.uk report (which ranks Britain as the third worst!).
Cheapest in Sweden, girlfriend in Holland
Money.co.uk calculated the costs of caring for children aged 0-2 years as a percentage of two parents’ total salary, and Sweden came in at the top with just 2.62 percent, followed by the Nordic trio Iceland (4.36), Norway (5.51 ) and Finland (6.08). .
Denmark did not manage to make it a Nordic clean table and finished in seventh place with 8.66 percent after Germany (6.24) and Austria (7.36). In the top ten were Estonia, France and Spain.
At the other end of the spectrum came the Netherlands, where parents pay 28.36 percent of their annual salary. Turkey, Britain, Slovakia and Greece finished in the bottom five.
Strictly nursery costs; kindergartens would be cheaper
The average cost in Denmark is 400.49 euros per month, which corresponds to 17.32 percent for single parents.
The price for sending your child to crรจche, day care for 0 to 3-year-olds, has recently increased in Denmark after an increase in the number of educators per day. infant.
In kindergartens, where the ratio is much lower, the costs are cheaper, but penge.co-uk’s report has only assessed nursery data.
Children stay in day care in Denmark until they are five or six years old, but in other countries, such as UK, they can start in a state-run kindergarten at the age of three.
