I mean, look around you! Everyone wants to get paid a million bucks a year these days but they don't want to train / educate / or work for it. No wonder there is a gap! Everyone thinks its their right to own a house, drive a nice car, and get paid megabucks simply because they think they are all that.
Maybe this article should be titled - The wake up of Western people to the idea that they are not all that! 
Another thing that bugs me - people expect to not have to start at the bottom anymore. So they would rather not take a job than learn the ropes. We are getting pathetic as a society and sooner or later, the party will come to an end with this spoiled brats we all have lately. They all wait for the gov to bail them out. Sorry, but you better not wish on an entity that lacks the power to do so and has no capability.
Another useless article.

Well Denmark has loads of dosh to throw around, and you're not about to go poor as a nation any time soon. My country, Finland, seems to have more endemic problems of large parts of the nation being pretty devoid of opportunities. It's easy to say "go where the work is" but that may include going abroad into some unknown situation which isn't very nice especially for a long period of time. I've been in that situation and probably will be again, and I don't think people who are poor, destitute and/or unemployed are so because of their own fault. Especially when they have like two degrees and plenty of work experience.
Inherited wealth means that the society will never be equal, at least in our lifetimes. Imagine that, we're still pretty much living in a caste society in the west and the ones at the bottom are being increasingly targeted by the society and the various right wing forces. Time is right for a new Hitler...
