Effective re-employment support for displaced workers in Denmark

This chapter examines employment services and training available to displaced workers once they are unemployed. While there are no specific programmes for this group, municipal Jobcentres provide displaced workers with guidance and orientation in preparing for, searching and finding employment as well as more intensified help, if necessary, through a range of active labour market programmes and re-training opportunities. Denmark spends more on such programmes than any other OECD country, and also has a tight activation regime in place to make sure that jobseekers seek jobs actively.
