The European Commission is currently working to introduce a statutory European minimum wage. The Confederation of Danish Employers is against a statutory European minimum wage being introduced in Denmark. Director of European and International Affairs at the Confederation of Danish Employers Christiane Mißlbeck-Winberg explains why here.

The Danish Model and the collective agreements are of major importance to Denmark. But how does the system actually work?

DA Åben Virksomhed (Open Company) is an initiative from the The Confederation of Danish Employers intended to increase the engagement and motivation of children and young people choosing careers in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Ultimately, it is hoped that this initiative will lead to enhanced STEM learning and vastly improve the pool of potential employees by enhancing the work force through Vocational Education and Training (VET) or higher STEM education.

On Tuesday, 17 December 2019, the European Commission presented its Joint Employment Report. The report is a part of the Commission's growth strategy for 2020, which in turn is a part of the so-called European Semester process.
