It clearly shows that the experiences of both these countries during World War I, and during the 1930s equipped them to introduce extensive and intrusive economic controls to ward off a subsistence crisis. In spite of the strong similarities between the two countries in terms of policies and economic order, there remains a glaring difference between the two. Throughout the occupation years, the Netherlands suffered a markedly higher level of child mortality than before or after the war, caused by an upsurge of infectious diseases. Child health in Denmark, on the other hand, declined during the occupation years, and infectious diseases rose only marginally there. In spite of similar policies, hence, the outcome in terms of the biological standard of living was dissimilar. By closely investigating the impact of various policies on everyday life, and the amounts of goods available to different groups of consumers, this study identifies the causes of this remarkable divergence. 410 0$aStudies of the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation ;$v1. 606 $aCost and standard of living$zDenmark 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zNetherlands 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zDenmark 606 $aCost and standard of living$zNetherlands 607 $aDenmark$xEconomic conditions$y1918-1945 607 $aNetherlands$xEconomic conditions$y1918-1945 615 0$aCost and standard of living 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aCost and standard of living 676 $a338.09489 700 $aFutselaar$b Ralf$f1976-$01603320 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808401303321 996 $aLard, lice and longevity$93927645 997 $aUNINA
