Like Norway, Denmark can also achieve median income within two generations. Thus, they have low-income inequality. Furthermore, they provide an equitable and quality healthcare system. Their “universal welfare model” also takes them one step closer to a high social mobility, as it aims to ensure excellent living standards for all residents of the country. With policies fostering a healthy business environment, strong judiciary, and open trade markets, the country has a high economic freedom ranking. Therefore, Norway makes the 2^nd place in our list for countries with the highest economic mobility.
