Reforms in education and the job market

The Reform Commission is set up by the government to propose reforms that address complex challenges. The commission’s work has been completed in 2023. Over two years, three major reports with recommendations from the commission have been prepared.

The commission has focused on the following three themes: Better education for all: The commission must come up with proposals for improvements and more flexibility in the area of youth education, focusing on the young people who do not get an education and how to create greater mobility across generations. More people in jobs: The commission must focus on citizens who find it difficult to obtain or maintain employment. These are, for example, unskilled people who need upskilling, non-Western citizens who have been in Denmark for many years without being able to hold on to a job, and seniors who need to be get back into work more quickly after they have become unemployed. More and better jobs: The Commission must come up with ideas to strengthen business opportunities to create good jobs and increase productivity. This can be done, for example, by improving the framework for investment, new technology and innovation, ensuring sound and efficient regulation, and promoting research and development. A special focus area will be to support more innovative companies and highly productive workplaces as well as the contribution of business to the green transition, among other things by creating a good framework for developing Danish positions of strength.
