How did you end up with 110k USD? GDP per person is ~56k (assuming 0% growth over lifetime), which means with danish taxes there is quite a bit over 100k USD contributed to the government on average. Your numbers sound incredibly fishy (and no, I don't read danish)
- flexie 14y agoNothing fishy about her numbers. These are net values. Both men and women contribute in their (best) working years, but as children and young adults, and again at old age, they cost more.
- fijal 14y agoIf they really cost only 300k USD/lifetime (does not sound that big), they definitely pay over 110k USD/lifetime. 56k is GDP, but that's divided by all (elderly and children too), so a dane is earning like 90k USD/year, out of which he pays 20-30k in taxes (there is more than just income tax). Average dane definitely works over 10 years. Hence the figures are fishy.
