Outline The Danish labour market Flexicurity Special cases for older workers Summary

The Danish situation on the labour market Low unemployment in relation to other EU Member States and a significant fall in unemployment in the 90s. Among the countries with the highest participation and employment rates. But, at the same time, we are the country with the biggest number of people on public support. Demographic challenge: More people in the high age groups - fewer in the work force.

Characteristics of the Danish employment policy The active labour market policy in Denmark has traditionally been built on a broad political consensus. A high degree of regionalisation of the administration - 14 independent regions/counties in Denmark. Close involvement of the social partners: In connection with labour marker reforms, the social partners have supported the active line. Involvement of the social partners in the regional management and implementation of the measures.
