Trends in Working Age Population Percentage in Denmark from 1990 to 2022
Denmark’s working-age population has decreased from 67.3% in 1990 to 63.5% in 2022. The trend reflects the country’s aging population, with a notable drop post-2008 due to economic downturns and increased early retirements. Despite this, Denmark’s labor market remains robust, with a focus on high levels of labor force participation and policies aimed at older workers. The consistent decrease reflects both demographic shifts and labor market trends in the context of a well-established welfare state.
