Abstract
The paper gives an introduction to the persistent problems regarding labour market integration of Non-Western immigrants and refugees in Denmark. We describe changes in the flow of immigrants to Denmark and the derived changes in the composition of the stock of immigrants and descendants on national origin. Next, the paper describes Danish immigration policy from the guest worker stop in the 1970s and until the recent situation. The shift in the composition of immigrants has contributed to a problematic situation regarding labour market integration, characterized by low participation and high unemployment among non-OECD immigrants. We emphasize problems on the demand side of the labour market, i.e. a high minimum wage and discrimination to some extent, and on the supply side due to weak or counterproductive financial incentives. * CIM, CLS, IZA and Department of Economics, University of Aarhus, Universitetsparken, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark, email: pjp@cls.dk ** CIM, CLS, IZA and Department of Economics, Aarhus School of Business, Fuglesangs Alle 20, Aarhus V, Denmark, email: nina@asb.dk
本文介绍了关于非西方移民和难民在丹麦的劳动力市场整合的持续问题。我们描述了移民流向丹麦的变化,以及移民和民族血统后裔构成的衍生变化。其次,本文描述了丹麦的移民政策,从客工停止在20世纪70年代,直到最近的情况。移民构成的变化造成了劳动力市场一体化方面的问题,其特点是非经合发组织移民的参与率低,失业率高。我们强调劳动力市场需求方面的问题,即过高的最低工资和某种程度上的歧视,以及由于财政激励不力或适得其反而导致的供给方面的问题。*丹麦奥胡斯五世Fuglesangs Alle 20,奥胡斯商学院CIM, CLS, IZA和经济系,电子邮件:nina@asb.dk
