My thoughts on Denmark, the happiest country in the world (6)

My thoughts on Denmark, the happiest country in the world (6)
"Countries with poor cooperation between the people and the state have low levels of happiness"
Before going on a tour of Denmark, I bought two books related to Denmark.
"Why Did the Danes Succeed in Creating a Happy Country?" by Kenji Stephen Suzuki
with
"Denmark: A country without poverty and inequality: Developing people in the happiest country in the world" by Tadao Chiba
I was reading.
After returning home, I also read a rare book that also described many of the negative aspects.
Kenji wrote the following in his book:
"While I was in Japan, I watched an NHK special program on the working poor. I was shocked by the harsh living conditions of working families and the antlion-like working conditions of young people working as temporary workers, but what surprised me even more was the government's response after the program aired. I had expected the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare to appear on television the next day and propose countermeasures or solutions, but apart from a few reactions, neither the media nor politicians responded in a normal way to the issues raised by the program. I was honestly disappointed by this. If the media reports that 4 million households, or 10% of the total number of households in the country, are working poor, that is a major problem. This is because the Danish people believe that it is the duty of politicians and administrative bureaucrats to present messages and countermeasures to solve the problem to the public."
When I read this, I was really surprised and impressed that "In Denmark, they respond so quickly and try to make improvements every day! What a sense of tension!" However, if you think about it, this is the normal state of affairs and it is by no means unusual.
I've been reading the Nikkei Shimbun and NHK Special for a little over 20 years. However, I hardly remember any reaction to this within a few days of the news being released. However, I think I'm a person who is easily influenced, and I think I've written about the things that made an impression on me in NHK Special many times in my blogs over the past 10 years. I think this is directly related to whether you can feel something that happens to other people as if it were your own problem, or whether you have the ability to think that it could happen to you.
Young people who drive motorcycles without helmets do so because they never think for a second that they will have a serious accident and become paralyzed. That's understandable for an individual. However, politicians and bureaucrats should exist to be of service to the people and citizens. They ignore serious social issues brought up by the media... And it would be one thing if it was just the working poor, but think about it. The problem of unpaid pensions and the nuclear accident have not been resolved at all... Right now, it's all about the Asahi Kasei Building Materials pile accident, but once it's too late, they just ignore it...
It is a big problem that the people who are supposed to be monitoring the situation quickly forget about this serious issue. However, it is also a big problem that those who anticipate this and simply wait for time to pass cunningly. It is an undeniable fact that people quickly forget about it because it is someone else's problem. However, there is no way that anyone would forget if their pension was not paid, or if they were affected by the nuclear accident but were not given satisfactory compensation. This is the current situation in Japan, with many people simply putting up with it in silence.
In China, it's about three times worse... The other day, I was interviewing a man who was left partially paralyzed after a bridge suddenly collapsed while he was riding his motorcycle across it. Wherever he went, he was told to "think of it as a natural disaster and give up," and not only was his body not cured, but no one offered him any financial support.
When you travel to different countries, you can clearly see that there are countries like Denmark that have evolved and matured through repeated small improvements, countries like China that are still developing, and countries like Japan that are somewhere in between.
