What I like about the Nordic countries, is that workers there are productive. When they're at work, they work - but at the same time, they have a healthy relationship to their workplace, due to strong workers rights / laws.
Another thing to keep in mind, is that social conformity there, is on par with countries like Japan.
In some countries, you're almost applauded if you manage to screw over your boss / company, by simply getting paid without doing much at all. For many, it's the dream situation - to just clock in at work, do nothing, get paid, and go home.
That's not at all the case in the Nordic countries, where you're expected to work hard and produce.
Strong sense of work ethic, labor laws, balanced with expectations of healthy work/life balance.
(But with that said, there are some serious drawbacks. If your only goal is to accumulate as much wealth as possible, at all costs, and as quickly as possible - Nordic countries is not the right place, IMO).
