Why is the government of scandinavia expensive to run?

They are governments that guarantee "welfare states" with balanced structures where a market economy with budgetary rigor and state coverage of high quality social services are promoted at the same time. Achieving this social coverage is not cheap. In part it becomes possible thanks to high solidarity tax revenues.

Structural and permanent reforms have been carried out to achieve distributive solidarity, hours of work that allow family and professional reconciliation, respect for the environment, social subsidies for those who need it, free and quality education, excellent health systems and generous pensions at the time of retirement. Scandinavian citizens are clear that their social models are expensive and demand sufficient tax revenue.

High taxes and the high cost of social benefits act as stabilizers of the economies.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is the foundation that organizes the Davos summit and is the space where comparative analyzes of world economies have been made. In these spaces, Scandinavian citizens have expressed that their models are solid and efficient and that they would not be willing to exchange them for systems of low fiscal pressure.
