Northern overexposure: Scandinavia is no utopia

Some sense for people too into Scandimania.

Though I should point out couple things.
quote:

despite their reputation for gender equality, they have the highest rates of violence against women in Europe

That might rather mean violence is reported most often.
quote:

(Denmark) has the world's highest cancer rates

Similarly, perhaps cancer is just detected earlier and more often than elsewhere.

quote:

The Finns also have a colourful portfolio of demons and taboos with which to wrestle, ranging from binge drinking (alcohol is the No. 1 cause of death for working-age people) to one of the highest homicide rates in Western Europe.

Can't argue that, just have to wonder if there might be a connection to the highest amount of guns in Western Europe.
