Finland #1 among the Nordic countries and number #2 overall :congratulations:
You’re looking at the wrong end of the scale and probably the wrong country
Netherlands = 16%
Finland = 21%
Lowest: Netherlands

Countries where socialized medicine existed at some point had kids willing to care for elders? You don’t say.
I’m kind of curious because my immediate thought was the opposite, that peoples that see caring for the sick and elderly as a responsibility for the whole of society rather than the family unit would value socialized medicine higher. Like if you asked me if it should be my duty to take care of my parents I’d say that they pay their taxes and the state should take care of them, but if that’s off the table then of course I’d help. I guess that’s a pretty glaring issue with the question asked.
Italy has socialized medicine and a system to tace care of the elderly (not a great system, but it exists) yet they still think they should take care of their parents.
ok but Italians are ingrained from birth to fear but rely on their parents and live in constant states of guilt heaped upon them. The stereotype that Italians all live with their mothers even when middle aged and married exists for a reason. Imagine the guilt-trips of a stereotypical Jewish mother mixed with catholic guilt
Yeah I know, I’m not saying that Italy is an example to follow, but that the existence of a relatively sturdy socialized Healthcare and elder care system isn’t necessarily followed by the perception that the state will take care of your folks.
Thinking that there is a single answer risks erasing local cultural differences, and the ways people perceive priorities and needs
Ireland doesn’t exist apparently
