This is not one of the advantages listed by Jonas in this broadcast. Jonas jokes about the length of Scandinavian summers by telling Brent that they last only one day.
This is one of the advantages of living in Scandinavian countries, according to correspondent Jonas Jensen. Jonas mentions both that Scandinavian countries provide quality "health care" (medical treatment) for their inhabitants, and that their "social welfare" system is excellent. "Social Welfare" describes services provided by the government for their citizens. In many socialist countries, social welfare includes health care (affordable medical care for all citizens).
This is one of the advantages of living in Scandinavian countries, according to correspondent Jonas Jensen. "Quality of life" refers to the aspects of daily life which contribute to the happiness of a group of people. For example: low crime rates, health care, human rights and freedoms. Typically, democratic countries with high average incomes and high employment rates tend to have a higher "quality of life".
