According to Ane Halsboe Jørgensen, the current Minister of Employment, infamous for having earlier closed the English-speaking programs at the university colleges, the government should rather focus on getting the 43,000 unemployed young people into the job market instead of making it easier for internationals to move to Denmark.
- According to experts, 80% of the 43,000 unemployed young people are actually in-between studies or on a gap year, which leaves only 8600 potential workers, far from what the Danish economy needs.
- Dansk Industri (the association of Danish industry) considers that young people alone are not enough to solve the current crisis and that it should be easier for international workforce to come to Denmark.
