Highly educated, motivated and
productive workforce
Danish industry’s strong productivity is
due partly to a labour force with unique
qualities.
One in four young Danes pursues a higher
education, resulting in a large talent pool.
In fact, the OECD reckons we have one of
the highest standards of education in the
world.
High productivity
When Danes go to work, they really go to work.
GDP per hour worked is among the highest in
the world.

The Danes are also highly motivated.
We even have our own special word –
arbejdsglæde – to express how much we
enjoy our work. Perhaps that’s why Danish
workers are seen as the most motivated in
the world, according to IMD.
