Excerpted from the Denmark Career Guide


The Danish employment market has very liberal recruitment and dismissal rules by both EU and international standards. This means that enterprises have very low costs and few obligations in recruiting and dismissing workers. These liberal rules mean many job openings, giving unemployed people very good chances of finding new jobs. The Danish employment market model may briefly be described on the basis of the following three main features: tripartite cooperation (employers, employees, and government); strong organizations on both sides of industry; and collective agreements, which constitute the most important source of law in labor law matters.

Telecommunication services are highly developed. Denmark is a central link for satellite communications between the former Eastern Bloc, western Europe, and the United States. Its telephone systems provide first-class digital service, and several cellular system providers offer excellent trans-European and worldwide mobile communications. Very few non-Danes speak Danish, so almost all Danish international businesspeople speak English as a second language. Many also speak German and French.

This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete Denmark guide.
