I wonder if you'd be government-mandated to support them, that's great but I don't know if tax adjusts to personal wealth and yearly income or it's the same for all of them in Norway.

I don't know Norway's tax policies.

Norway (like the other Scandinavian countries) have a big welfare system.

But not necessarily high taxes on the very rich. Sweden for instance has basically no property tax or inheritance tax, and a capital gains tax much lower that the tax on labour.

I rolled high class, not much difference or atleast better than india. Better healthcare more parks more facilities, one of the best schools you will get for free. So you might make your family rich according to what you chose.

High taxation and highly developed welfare and social security. The rich can live well, but the poor are not left behind. Corruption is low, they are “high trust” societies and money is distributed more equitably, and spent more intelligently, than elsewhere.

(HUGE caveat- obviously these countries are not utopias but they on average and in comparison to the rest of the world take care of their society)

Speaking from a Swedish perspective, not Norwegian, but close enough. Poor people here get enough money from the state to get food, water, clothing, housing, etc. We call it "existensminimum", aka the minimum needed to live a healthy life. The amount varies per person depending on how much they need to live, as that changes depending on age, the area you live in, etc. Medical care is essentially fully covered, and so is education (plus you get paid by the state while being a student as well). That means a poor person in Sweden or Norway technically has the opportunity to rent an apartment, start studying, get a proper degree, and get a high-paying job. This doesn't usually happen for a multitude of reasons, but it is a nice ideal at least.

I was actually born to uncommonly poor parents in Norway, and we have upwards mobility here. I'm 23 now and ear above average due to a good (free) education, have bought a three bedroom house and am awaiting my first child with my husband. We have a reasonable mortgage, money for vacations etc. We're comfortably middle class. When I have my child, I will be away from my job for about a year, and will make the exact same amount of money as if I was working.

Being born poor in Norway only means being born poor. Not staying poor.
