Essentially every item on this widely shared propaganda poster was false – or just a straight up lie.

Summary

• Part 1: Denmark is the world’s happiest nation because of the following reasons (Not true)
• Part 2: Denmark has a $20/hour minimum wage (No, it does not).
• Part 3: Denmark has a 33 hour work week (No, it does not)
• Part 4: Denmark has Free University ? Yes but read why – it’s not why you think
• Part 5: Denmark has Free Childcare? No, it does not – this claim is a lie.
  
• Part 6: Denmark has Free Healthcare, sort of
• Part 7: We should all be like Denmark, remember?
• Part 8: Is Denmark a socialist country?

I recently updated the “Free childcare” section and since the post originally went live, I have added Part 7 and Part 8.
