That is the labour shortage Denmark will experience in 2030. The public sector needs 44,000 people to maintain the same level of welfare. If the growth in the private sector continues on the same level in the next few years, it will need roughly 10,500 people/yearly (newly hired). The local and regional governments are already experiencing recruitment problems (elderly care). Solutions?
- Increase productivity in the private sector (automatization).
- Retire later.
- Outsource to other countries with more available workforce (f.ex. Renting prison in Kosovo).
- More labour supply – attract people from other countries.
