Denmark is on the brink of a significant labor shortage, with projections indicating a decline of 150,000 skilled workers by 2035. This shortage is expected to impact sectors crucial for economic growth and the green transition, including roles such as blacksmiths, electricians, plumbers, business graduates, and procurement specialists.
The DREAM (Danish Rational Economic Agents Model) highlights a troubling trend:
- By 2030, the number of skilled workers will drop by 75,000 compared to 2023.
- By 2035, this number will increase to over 150,000, representing a decline of nearly 20%.
This labor shortage poses a serious challenge to Denmark’s ability to support economic expansion, drive prosperity, and achieve its green transition goals. A key factor is the declining number of individuals pursuing necessary training, a trend that shows no signs of slowing down.
💡 Call to Action:
This pressing issue demands immediate action from policymakers, businesses, and educators to address the skills gap and build a sustainable workforce for the future.
