What Worries Denmark? - November 2025
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.
November 2025 suggests a clear shift in public concerns. Inflation, climate change and immigration remain the leading primary worries, with inflation rising from 8.2% in October to 11.7% in November and climate change reaching 11.1%.
At the same time, several pressures ease noticeably. Concern about defense drops sharply from 5.5% to 1.6%, while worries about the state of the economy decline from 4.3% to 2.6%. Unemployment falls to just 0.2%, well below both last month and last year, pointing to reduced short-term economic anxiety.
In contrast, attention is increasingly turning toward longer-term societal issues. Education more than doubles compared to October, while concerns about losing democracy or freedom rise, and moral decline continues to edge up. Overall, November appears less driven by immediate crises and more by reflection on where society is heading next.
