Book excerpt: As with other West European countries, immigration has for many years been one of the hottest and most enduring issues of the political debate in Denmark -- and now once again revived because of the many refugees coming out of Kosovo. In "Immigration to Demark" the British demographer, David Coleman, places immigration in an international framework, describing the importance of global population trends for international migration, together with the main destinations of these migrations, and, in particular, the migration streams to Europe. Coleman discusses both ratified international treaties and national laws passed in recent years in an attempt to regulate migration towards the European continent. The Swedish economist, Eskil Wadensjo, analyses the importance of immigrants to the economy in the 1990s, while Soren Pedersen examines the actual development of immigration to Denmark from the 1960s onwards. Finally, Bent Jensen presents a review of the public debate on immigration topics in major Danish national newspapers from 1964 to the beginning of the 1990s.

Download or read book Migration and Social Protection in Europe and Beyond Volume 1 written by Jean-Michel Lafleur and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first open access book in a series of three volumes provides an in-depth analysis of social protection policies that EU Member States make accessible to resident nationals, non-resident nationals and non-national residents. In doing so, it discusses different scenarios in which the interplay between nationality and residence could lead to inequalities of access to welfare. Each chapter maps the eligibility conditions for accessing social benefits, by paying particular attention to the social entitlements that migrants can claim in host countries and/or export from home countries. The book also identifies and compares recent trends of access to welfare entitlements across five policy areas: health care, unemployment, family benefits, pensions, and guaranteed minimum resources. As such this book is a valuable read to researchers, policy makers, government employees and NGO’s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in some years, a conservative government came to power in Denmark in 2001, due primarily to the citizenry's disaffection with social-democratic policies on immigration. We represent political competition in Denmark as taking place over two issues - the size of the public sector and immigration - and model political equilibrium using the party unanimity Nash equilibrium (PUNE) concept, which generates equilibria on multi-dimensional policy spaces where parties form endogenously. By fitting the model to Danish data, we argue that citizen xenophobia may be expected to decrease the size of the Danish public sector by an amount between 12% and 36% of one standard deviation of the probability distribution of citizens' ideal points of the size of the public sector.
Download or read book Immigration and Welfare State Cash Benefits written by Peder J. Pedersen and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper summarizes the existing evidence on welfare dependence among immigrants in Denmark, focusing on immigrants from non-Western countries. The paper contains an overview of the background regarding immigration in recent decades, followed by a survey of relevant benefit programs in the Danish welfare state. The evidence focuses on: macro analyses of the overall impact from immigration on the public sector budget, micro-oriented studies on specific welfare programs, the importance for welfare dependence of demographic variables, the big variation between countries of origin, and the importance of cyclical factors at the time of entry and during the first years in the new country. Evidence from the most recent years reinforce the importance of aggregate low unemployment, in contrast to fairly small effects found from policy changes intending to influence the economic incentives between welfare and a job for immigrants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several studies have reported a negative relationship between ethnic heterogeneity and the size of the public sector. One problem with this literature is that ethnic composition is hardly exogenous, which obstructs attempts to reveal causal mechanisms. This paper explores the impact of changes in ethnic heterogeneity in Danish municipalities from 1995 through 2001, a period marked by an unprecedented influx of refugees. A state-sponsored placement policy restricted their choice of residence and required local governments to accept them as citizens. The analysis of the impact of this influx has not revealed any support for the claim of a decline in public sector size.
Download or read book The Question of Integration written by Karen Fog Olwig and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of integration has become an important concern as many societies are experiencing a growing influx of people from abroad. But what does integration really mean? What does it take for a person to be integrated in a society? Through a number of ethnographic case studies, this book explores varying meanings and practices of integration in Denmark. This welfare society, characterized by a liberal life style and strong notions of social equality, is experiencing an upsurge of nationalist sentiment. The authors show that integration is not just a neutral term referring to the incorporation of newcomers into society. It is, more fundamentally, an ideologically loaded concept revolving around the redefining of notions of community and welfare in a society undergoing rapid social and economic changes in the face of globalization. The ethnographic analyses are authored by anthropologists who wish to engage, as scholars and citizens living and working in Denmark, in one of the most contentious issues of our time. The Danish perspectives on integration are discussed from a broader international perspective in three epilogues by non-Danish anthropologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the influence of immigrants on Danish imports and exports. As public and political debates concerning immigration policy are expected to continue, the findings presented here provide valuable information. Prior to 2002, Denmark's immigration policy was among the most liberal in Europe. However, concerns regarding terrorism, social services depletion and detrimental labor market effects, all purported to stem from immigration, have led the Danish government to severely tighten its policy. In examining Denmark, we explore the immigrant-trade relationship for a small host country that is open to trade, well-integrated globally and proximate to both major trading partners and primary immigrant source nations. Further, that immigrants increased as a share of the Danish population from 2.6 to 5.6 percent from 1980 to 2000 presents an opportunity to consider immigrant-trade links for an increasingly diverse population that, initially, was relatively homogenous. We consider variation across home countries by level of development and by degree of product differentiation, employing data for 170 countries (classified as high, upper middle, lower middle or low income) that span the years 1980-2000. Trade values, coded at the 4-digit Standard Industrial Trade Classification industry level, are classified as differentiated or homogenous (reference-priced or organized exchange) goods. We report positive immigrant-trade links, with the typical immigrant increasing annual Danish exports to their respective home country by $352 to $426 and annual imports from the home country rising by $394 to $407. Variation in immigrant-trade links is reported across home country income classifications and across product classifications. Links are of greatest magnitude when trade with high income countries is considered and weakest, yet still positive, when we examine trade with low income countries. The findings presented here, when considered in relation to prior research, suggest the presence and magnitude of immigrant-trade links vary according to host country population homogeneity.

This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Danish Politics provides the most comprehensive and thorough English language book on Danish politics ever written. It features chapters by 50 leading experts who have contributed extensively to the field they write about. Why is Denmark an interesting topic for a Handbook? In some respects, Danish political institutions and political life are very similar to that of other small, North European countries such as the other Scandinavian countries and Netherland. However, in other respects, Danish politics is interesting in its own right. For instance, Denmark has a world record in minority governments. According to standard scholarly knowledge, this should result in unstable governments and a bad economy. This is not the case, however, since Denmark has a rather stable political system and a strong and robust economy among the strongest in Europe. How? The Danes have continued reservations towards the EU despite close to 50 years of EC/EU membership, and the Danes rejected the Maastricht Treaty in 1992. Still, the EU issue is handled in ways that do not call for large political battles. How? A third example is that Denmark used to be known as a tolerant and liberal society; its Jews were almost all saved during German occupation during WWII, Denmark was the first country to free pornography, and the first country to formally register same-sex couples. Yet recent Danish politics has also been associated with xenophobia and anti-Muslim sentiments. Why?

Book excerpt: In this book, Dr. Poul Chr. Matthiessen, Denmark's foremost professor of demography, presents a broad overview of the process of immigration to Denmark and the integration of immigrants into Danish society. He examines a number of related topics, such as immigrants' patterns of residence, immigrants' education and their command of the Danish language, crime, the position of immigrants in relation to the social security system, and the significance of immigration for public finances. The topics also include the attitudes of Danes to their new fellow-citizens. For example, are Danes more or less anti-immigrant than other Europeans? And have the Danes' views on foreigners changed over time? The book is both an overview and a detailed presentation of immigration to Denmark since 1960, and its impact on Danish society.

This book was released on 2015-12-29 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The market for high-skilled workers is becoming increasingly global, as are the markets for knowledge and ideas. While high-skilled immigrants in the United States represent a much smaller proportion of the workforce than they do in countries such as Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, these immigrants have an important role in spurring innovation and economic growth in all countries and filling shortages in the domestic labor supply. This report summarizes the proceedings of a Fall 2014 workshop that focused on how immigration policy can be used to attract and retain foreign talent. Participants compared policies on encouraging migration and retention of skilled workers, attracting qualified foreign students and retaining them post-graduation, and input by states or provinces in immigration policies to add flexibility in countries with regional employment differences, among other topics. They also discussed how immigration policies have changed over time in response to undesired labor market outcomes and whether there was sufficient data to measure those outcomes.
