[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A. Finland is a Nordic country and not a Scandinavian country. OP, if you don't know the difference then this thread is useless.

B. This article is from 2011 and does not align with more recent work like the book The Smartest Kids in the World and How They Got There.

C. Individual income tax rates are around 50% or more.

D. If you spent more than three days (?) in Finland, you would know that they are extremely concerned about the survival of Suomi (if you don't know what that is, then don't post about Finland) in light of the need to expand the population base. You might be surprised where they go for models of dual-language immersion...hint...it's not Quebec.

Are there lessons to be learned from Finland? Possibly. But don't "go there" unless you've actually been there.[/quote]
Income tax is not 50%
Some high earners do pay that, but average salaried workers do not pay that. The taxes include health insurance and pension

I am not even making 6 figures, and taxes, cost of health care and 401K is more than 50%
Also, day care costs 200 euros per month[/quote]
