Jørgen Goul Andersen shows that Denmark entered the crisis with a strong economy, but also with a housing and credit bubble beginning to burst. This contributed to constraining private consumption for a long period. When the government switched in May 2010 to zero growth in public consumption and to significant cuts in social protection, this left exports as the only possible driver of growth. It took ten years for private consumption per capita to catch up with 2007 levels, while the number of public employees declined by 5 per cent from 2010 to 2016. Welfare and tax reforms since 2008 have contributed to an erosion of social citizenship, accompanied by strong rhetoric questioning the deservingness of people in a vulnerable position. Whereas the weakest groups are at risk of being excluded from social protection, the long-term decline in welfare services may ‘crowd in’ private welfare for the upper middle classes.
