Denmark needs a national talent strategy to increase productivity and regain
competitiveness.
With the decline in the European workforce over the coming years, forecasting the skills
needed and doing what it takes to ensure an adequate future supply of talent should be
an absolute priority for governments. The winning countries in the global competition will
be those that address the talent issue proactively to strengthen their economies.
A major key to economic growth is increased labor productivity and the best way to
increase labor productivity is to be better at matching individual skills to current and
future jobs. Therefore an efficient national economic strategy, aiming for growth,
demands a national talent strategy to support it.

“The key to economic growth is increased
labor productivity and the best way to
increase labor productivity is to be better
at balancing supply and demand in the
workforce. Denmark has a relatively successful
economy. However, complacency now is a
formula for the disaster of the economy
of this country. The systems you have are
inadequate for the next 10-15 years. Denmark
needs to change them now and there is
no better time for change than with a new
administration.”
