The Labour Market Integration of Immigrants in Denmark

January 2007

Thomas Liebig

The labour market integration of immigrants has been a key issue both in the public debate and on the government agenda in Denmark, triggered by unfavourable employment outcomes of immigrants – the gaps in employment rates of immigrants compared to the native-born are among the highest in the OECD – and a rapid rise of the immigrant population during the past twenty years. Prior to the 1980s, ... [Show full abstract] immigration to Denmark was a very marginal phenomenon. Despite the rapid growth since then, with less than 7% immigrants in the population, Denmark still has one of the smallest immigrant populations in Western Europe... Suscitée par les médiocres résultats des immigrés au regard de l’emploi (au Danemark, l’écart entre leur taux d’emploi et celui des autochtones compte parmi les plus importants de la zone OCDE) et par l’accroissement rapide de cette population au cours des vingt dernières années, l’intégration des immigrés sur le marché du travail est une question clé qui fait débat dans l’opinion publique et que le gouvernement a inscrite dans son programme. Avant les années 80, l’immigration dans ce pays était un phénomène très marginal. Pourtant, en dépit de la progression rapide de cette population depuis lors, les immigrés représentent moins de 7 % de la population totale. Ainsi, le Danemark compte encore l’une des populations immigrées les plus faibles d’Europe occidentale...

Les rapports Eglise-Etat dans les pays européens de tradition protestante et de tradition catholique...

December 1993 · Social Compass

Françoise. Champion

The object of this article is to compare the Church-State relationship in several European countries which traditionally profess a single faith, either Catholic or Protestant. Its aim is to inform. It also seeks to understand the process which made the relationships between Church and State what they are nowadays. Those relationships in the shape we know them now were first established at the end ... [Show full abstract] of the 18th century, the period around which western societies were completing the process of emancipation from religion. Two different ideal-typical logics led to this achievement: a logic of laïcizing in countries of Catholic tradition, a logic of secularizing in countries of Protestant tradition. France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, England and Denmark are the countries studied.

Admission criteria and diversity in medical school

June 2013 · Medical Education

The under-representation in medical education of students from lower socio-economic backgrounds is an important social issue. There is currently little evidence about whether changes in admission strategies might increase the diversity of the medical student population. Denmark introduced an 'attribute-based' admission track to make it easier for students who may not be eligible for admission on ... [Show full abstract] the 'grade-based' track to be admitted on the basis of attributes other than academic performance. The aim of this research was to examine whether there were significant differences in the social composition of student cohorts admitted via each of the two tracks during the years 2002-2007. This prospective cohort study included 1074 medical students admitted during 2002-2007 to the University of Southern Denmark medical school. Of these, 454 were admitted by grade-based selection and 620 were selected on attributes other than grades. To explore the social mix of candidates admitted on each of the two tracks, respectively, we obtained information on social indices associated with educational attainment in Denmark (ethnic origin, father's education, mother's education, parenthood, parents living together, parent in receipt of social benefits). Selection strategy (grade-based or attribute-based) had no statistically significant effect on the social diversity of the medical student population. The choice of admission criteria may not be very important to widening access and increasing social diversity in medical schools. Attracting a sufficiently diverse applicant pool may represent a better strategy for increasing diversity in the student population.

WOMEN, PROVERBS AND CULTURE DIVERSITY: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF KOREAN AND ROMANIAN PROVERBS

September 2018

Elena Buja

The paper aims at examining some traditional values related to the women living in two geographically and culturally distant cultures (Korean and Romanian) the way they emerge from proverbs that reflect the many roles women have had in society (daughters, mothers, wives, mother-in-laws), as well as their positive and negative characteristics. The premise I have started out from is that despite ... [Show full abstract] the huge differences between Korea and Romania there are many similarities in the women-related proverbs. My main interest is in unraveling the inequalities between men and women, in finding out men's attitudes towards their female peers, and in identifying whether the Korean women have enjoyed a better treatment than their Romanian sisters. I am convinced that by scrutinizing the lessons of life transmitted through their languages, we can obtain a wealth of data about these cultures and a better understanding of them.

Cantor’s New Look at the Infinite

January 1987

Eli Maor

Georg Cantor was born in St. Petersburg (now Leningrad) on March 3, 1845. His parents had emigrated from Denmark; his father was a converted Protestant and his mother a born Catholic, but according to some evidence both were of Jewish origin. It may be that this multicultural background played a role in Cantor’s early interest in medieval theological arguments, particularly those concerning ... [Show full abstract] continuity and the infinite. From St. Petersburg the family moved to Germany, and it was there, at the University of Halle, that in 1874 he published his first significant work on the concept of infinity. This was only the first of a series of works to be published between 1874 and 1884, and it at once changed the entire foundation on which the concept had been based thus far.

Bøger om jødisk historie i Danmark de sidste 15 år

June 2016 · Nordisk Judaistik/Scandinavian Jewish Studies

Morten Thing

I Danmark er der de sidste femten år udkommet en hel del bøger om jødernes historie, ikke mindst om deres trængsler. Morten Thing gennemgår i denne oversigtsartikel de vigtigste indenfor forskning og formidling. * * *Books on Jewish history in Denmark the last 15 years • The most spectacular work about Jewish culture is without doubt Martin Schwarz Lausten’s six-volume work about the attitude of ... [Show full abstract] the Danish Lutheran church towards the Jews and Judaism. It is a work of great precision and with the use of many new sources. Although it is a work on church-history it has a lot to say on Jewish reactions to the church and the state. The volumes are: Kirke og synagoge,De fromme og jøderne, Oplysning i kirke og synagoge, Frie jøder?, Folkekirken og jøderne og Jødesympati og jødehad i folkekirken. Antisemitism has also been in focus and Sofie Lene Baks work on the history of antisemitism in Denmark is probably the most central: Dansk antisemitisme 1930–45. The rescue of the Danish Jews in WWII is without doubt the most researched topic in Danish Jewish history. Many new works have been published. Sofie Lene Baks book on what happened to the Jews when they came back from Sweden I 1945, Da krigen var forbi. It turned out that the municipality of Copenhagen had taken care of many flats and possessions. The history of the Jewish minority has been more in focus than ever. Many new books have been published. Arthur Arnheim’s Truet minoritet søger beskyttelse is the biggest book on the history from seventeenth century until today.

Educational Attainment in Denmark: The role of parents’ education and childhood living conditions

March 2005 · Journal of Contextual Economics – Schmollers Jahrbuch

We consider the importance of parental education and childhood living conditions on children’s educational attainment in Denmark. Data are two surveys of living conditions merged with register data and children included are children of interviewees’ aged 25-35 in 1998. We estimate educational attainment by applying multinomial logit models, both with and without living condition variables. ... [Show full abstract] Parents’ education is found to be very important, and especially regarding mother’s education. Thus, having a better-educated mother is more important for the educational attainment than having a better-educated father. Introducing living conditions in the model decreases the importance of parents’ education, but only marginally. Dividing the sample into sons and daughters, an asymmetry is found. Generally, mothers matter most for their daughters, while fathers matter most for their sons. In addition, sons and daughters are affected by different living condition variables.

Intergenerational Well-Being Mobility in Europe

April 2011 · Kyklos

This paper provides evidence of the intergenerational mobility of economic wellbeing for the countries of the EU-15. We deal with the potential endogeneity of the transmission parameter by exploiting the presence of heteroskedasticity in a cross-sectional setting, using rank-order IV and conditional second moments estimation. OLS and panel (Fixed Effects and First Differences) models are also ... [Show full abstract] estimated, providing the upper and lower bounds for the true causal effect, not only for fathers and sons, but also for fathers and daughters, mothers and sons and mothers and daughters, in each of the sample countries. Our findings suggest that income well-being is much more persistent across generations in Southern European countries than in Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands and the UK.
