2 Welfare remains high in Scandinavia objectively and subjectively: (1) Happiness /well-being (2) Social trust (trust in people you do not know) Well-Being/ Happiness: World Happiness Report 2017 ( ) 1.

Central Afr.Rep. 3,462 Please imagine a ladder, with steps numbered from 0 at the bottom to 10 at 2,693 the top. The top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life for you. On which step of the ladder 5 would you 6say you personally 7 feel you stand 8 at this time? 6,442 6,714 6,993 6,953 7,494 7,469 7,377 7,316 7,314 7,284 7,284 7,537 7,522 7,504
3 But what are the prospects that this will continue in the future?
4 OECD: New concerns & recommendations 1994 OECD Jobs Study. Lower minimum wages + Make work pay. Employment equality trade off + Increase labour supply 2008 Growing Unequal. Income Distribution and Poverty in OECD Countries 2011 Divided we Stand. Why Inequality Keeps Rising 2015 In it Together. Why Less Inequality Benefits All 30 years of constantly increasing inequality in the rich OECD countries. Unstoppable
5 The Scandinavian idyll is maintained to quite a large extent... At least by comparative standards (UK was similar to Scandinavia in the 1960s, but has become quite American since then. New Zealand also had many Scandinavian traits until the late 1980s)

10 Poverty rates OECD. Per cent. Sudden changes /15 Sweden * Denmark Finland Norway Iceland NL Germany France UK ** USA
11 Gini coefficients Also some rather sudden leaps forward here Sweden Denmark Finland Norway Iceland NL Germany France UK USA
12 Are these changes big enough to be important?... to change the Gini coefficient by 2 points is equivalent to each person below the median transferring 7% of their own income to those above the median (OECD, Growing Unequal, 2008, p. 28)
13 USA. Gini coefficients & poverty rates does not reveal the changes in top incomes (Piketty: Capital in the 21 st Century; Hacker & Pierson: Winner take all-politics) Share of total increase in society s real income appropriated by the upper 10 per cent Source: Det Økonomiske Råd. E Calculations by Emmanuel Saez for Economic Council
14 What lies behind these trends? Usual suspects among economists: Skill-biased technological change Globalization Ageing populations Or Mainly political explanations changes in welfare and tax policy based on interests (and ideas)?
15 Skill-biased technological change? Not completely irrelevant for the Nordic Countries Wage dispersion also increasing in the Nordic countries But not very much Classical challenge: Invest in skills and upgrading Nordic countries have an extremely good track record in doing so
16 Globalization? (only the serious arguments) 1. Equality employment trade off? Unemployment among the lowest skilled normally lower in Scandinavia than in the USA. Skill bias in unemployment is typically smaller than in most other countries Employment rates among the lowest skilled, even among the lowest skilled males, are among the highest anywhere including the USA The losses of unskilled jobs in the Nordic countries is huge. But the decline in the number of unskilled workers has been equally fast due to generational replacement Not a race to the bottom, but a skill race to the top Closures or offshoring of low-skilled jobs is a precondition of switching to jobs of the top of the value chains The skill race challenge will intensify. And large-scale immigration of low-skilled refugees will aggravate the challenge. Sweden seems challenged recently.
17 2003 (OECD Employment Outlook) Unemployment, by educational attainment Per cent. (age 25-64) (1) Less than upper secondary (2) Upper secondary (3) Tertiary (1:3) Skill bias in unemployment % employed among lowest educated males USA UK Poland France Belgium Austria Germany Denmark Sweden Norway Classical picture slightly modified. Skill bias in NO+SE about average. But in Sweden this reflects enormous labour force participation. Include almost everybody

19 Globalization.. (2) Race to the bottom of corporate taxes - largely an illusion; financed by less deductions - small revenues anyway (3) Brain drain because of high taxes? Not really observable so far Economic incentives are questionable: Must consider taxes + necessary social expenditures (private or public) For the relevant age groups (less than 35 years) Cheap high quality child care is a strong economic incentive to stay in the Nordic area.
20 OECD Net Social Expenditures Welfare also expensive in the US. % GDP Net Net total Rank Private Gross Public Public total Expenditures Public (after tax) +Private 2011 (net) Denmark Sweden Norway Germany Netherlands Belgium France UK USA
21 Ageing 1. Pension reforms: Financing future welfare largely ensured, at least in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. 2. Ageing proceeds quite slowly in the Nordic countries: High fertility, high net migration. 3. Lower old-age dependency ratio by 2050 than in Japan 2015.

23 Mainly political choices. Sometimes response to problem pressure. Sometimes sheer interest politics, but often guided by economic ideas Make work pay: Lower benefits for the unemployed (especially Sweden until 2015) Tax credits for employed (Denmark and Sweden) Less progressive taxes Tight conditionality for unemployed Increase labour supply: Same measures as above Pension & retirement reforms. Reforms of disability pensions. Reducing sickness leave. Sometimes a help. Sometimes a highly stressful experience. Sometimes road to poverty. Fixed retirement age (Denmark). One size fits all, despite increasing social inequality in health and life expectancy. Problem!
24 political choices... Welfare Chauvinism: Especially Denmark. Cuts in social assistance de facto targeted at non-western immigrants (But nobody questions access to health care, child care etc.) Improve incentives of immigrants to work (very strong instruments in Denmark and in particular after 2015) Some employment impact observable. But very strong poverty effects. (Enduring poverty > 3 years, excluding students, doubled in Denmark ). Undeserving poor? Denmark since 2015 several cuts of support and increasing stigmatization of people receiving social assistance.
25 Democratic choices in the future... Politics not only a matter of voter preferences, but it is also a matter of voter preferences Nordic populations generally favourable to welfare Most likely scenario: Damage repair, at least for the most deserving groups But poor people are not always deserving. They are different from us the more different, the less deserving. They have not always contributed, failing to meet the deservingness criterion of reciprocity They may be considered responsible of their own situation. Increasing inequality and poverty could be self-reinforcing, generating less solidarity rather than more.
26 Exit as an option? Crowding in private welfare? If people experience unsatisfying public services, they may react as voters by demanding more expenditures. Or they may react by buying private welfare for themselves. 160,0 150,0 140,0 130,0 120,0 110,0 Denmark: All institutional 100,0 constraints for private welfare provision abandoned 90,0 Denmark.

27 Conclusion Nordic welfare states remains a role model. Extremely successful until now also economically. Problem pressure is low. Challenge of ageing is largely solved. Cope well with globalization. Swedes and Danes embrace globalization more than anyone else in the EU, according to Eurobarometer. Few exogenous challenges in the visible future. Most crises have been self-inflicted (Iceland 2008 the extreme case). But they have often paved the way for reforms inspired by prevailing neoliberal ideas in the global policy community (with Iceland as a notable exception after the 2008 crisis). Like elsewhere, there is great support for the welfare state. But changes are often irreversible. They also tend to shape people s preferences. People prefer equality, but cuts in welfare and/or higher inequality does not always generate counter-reactions. People may often tend to adapt to the new rules of the game.
