Danish job quality is the best in Europe

Danish job quality is the best in Europe, according to the latest raking by the European Labour Network for Economic Policy, according to a recent article in Copenhagen Post.

The ELNEP ranks job quality based on factors such as the number of working poor, forced part-time, occupational health and unionisation.

Denmark ranked third in the previous study in 2000. It surpassed Sweden and the Netherlands to claim the top spot.

The ELNEP noted that the UK, the other non-eurozone member of the EU-15, finished in fourth place.

The index found that 8.5 percent of Denmark's employees were considered 'low paid', the lowest in Europe.
