The Danish government proposed on Monday to make it easier for businesses to access foreign labor by slightly easing traditionally tight restrictions on immigration.
According to the Danish government's proposals, the income threshold for workers from countries outside the European Union would be lowered from 514,000 Danish kroner to 300,000 (from $80,800 to $47,000)
In addition, bureaucratic procedures for hiring foreigners in Denmark should be reduced.
The government's proposal covers workers from 16 countries outside the EU, including no countries in Africa or the Middle East.
The director general of the Confederation of Danish Employers, Jacob Holbraad, told Bloomberg that the proposed changes are "a good day for Denmark and Danish business." "Given the labour shortage in Denmark, international workers have become extremely important for Danish companies and the Danish economy in recent years," he said.
