PÅ DANSK →
What keeps Danes up at night? Ipsos’ What Worries Denmark survey diagnoses the biggest social and political problems by asking citizens their opinion on the most worrying issues in the nation. It provides a snapshot of the national mood and serves as a tracker that identifies short or long-term shifts in public feeling.
This May reveals only minor shifts in primary concerns for Danes. Following a consistent trend, environmental issues (12.4%) and concerns about EU/Globalization and Foreign Affairs (8.4%) remain the top two biggest worries.
Concerns over war have risen once more, with a slight increase from 7.4% in April to 8.4% in May, making it the third most prominent concern.
A subtle shift is evident concerning immigration as well, which has seen a slight but steady increase over the past six months, highlighting its growing importance in society.
