Mini-lecture on the Danish welfare state
Even though the welfare state in the Nordics is under pressure and its design is continuously debated, it has rarely been more strongly supported in Danish history. Today, nearly all Danish political parties support the basic welfare society model, and they compete over who is best to secure it. Watch this mini-lecture and hear how, from a tentative start around 1900 to its development as a social democratic project in 1960s, the welfare state remains strongly accepted in Denmark.
In this mini-lecture, historian Peter Yding Brunbech PhD provides an overview of the development and history of the Danish welfare state in Danish with English sub-titles. The video was produced by danmarkshistorien.dk and was recorded in Aarhus University's assembly hall 'Aula'.
