The majority of Danish families have two incomes. The homemaker who cared for the house while the man provided for the family disappeared almost completely in the 80's. Gender equality is a very strong norm in Denmark.
It is normal for parents to help each other raise their children and that both mother and father have parental leave. Childcare is a very institutionalized thing in Denmark. A child typically enters his or her first daycare before it reaches age 1 and then kindergarten and elementary school until the age of 16-17. The majority of young people then attend high school, business school or technical school for 2-3 years until they are approx. 18-19 years old.

Danish children start school when they are 6 years old and then have at least 9 years of primary school. Most children go to municipal primary schools that are free. The only thing parents pay for is usually school excursions and camp.
There are also private schools. Parents can choose to send their children to private school for a variety of reasons. At the private schools, the parents pay a sum of money for the children to go there, but the majority of the expense is still paid by the public authorities.

Danes and foreninger (associations):
Associations are very important for Danes. An association in Denmark is an organization with a specific purpose, such as sports, which are usually open to all and receive public support in order to exist.
There are associations for almost everything. You can join them and participate in everything from sports, to dancing, to scouting, to chess and so on.
An association is governed by a board that is elected at a general meeting of the association's members. There is a general meeting at least once a year, where you present the accounts and explain how the association is doing. An association is a great way to get out and meet new people who have the same interest as yourself, or to try new things.
