What Worries Denmark - March 2021
By initiating a Danish tracking study from February 2020, we can now see what keeps Danes up at night and how this change over the months and years.
As another month went by, the Danes’ worries in March are very similar to the worries in February. The COVID-19 related worries are still high, but the worries are approximately the same in March as in February (+0.2%). However, there is a small increase in worries related to healthcare (+0.9%), which amongst other things are related to mental issues as well as general health. As the country has been in a lockdown for several months now, and only starting to open a little in March, there is a small increase in worries related to the state of the economy (+0.8%). The Danes are particularly worried about the consequences of the lockdown on the state of the economy.
The Biggest Worries chart refers to an individual’s perception on the largest/most top-of-mind challenge Denmark is dealing with today.
The Total Worries chart encompasses the biggest worries and the respondents’ other worries combined.
