message: The unemployment statistic in the table at the beginning of the article and the statistic in the "National accounts" part of the article are conflicting. The table reads the unemployment rate as 4.5% and at the end of the article the rate is listed at 3.9%. Britney-Boy 07:14, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The article says "During the governments of Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, there was a drastic fall in official unemployment (...)". What is official unemployment, and what would it be if it was not official? If there is a good reason to distinguish between official and else, it would be nice to have a link to an article explaining that.

message: I added a POV and accuracy tag to the Employment section because the last paragraph:
:Denmark also engages in programs where they are able to hide unemployment. For example, in 2006 there were 117,600 people who were put away in so-called "arbejdsmarkedspolitiske foranstaltninger" or "labor market political activities".
is cited using a blog as the source, which violates WP:RS. If a reliable source isn't found, this paragraph should be deleted. Pristino (talk) 10:29, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: First of all the expression "hide unemployment" is NPOV, as "arbejdsmarkedspolitiske foranstaltninger" are parts of an active Danish employment policy, and therefore not a way to fake unemploymentrates. The 117,600 people who are supposed to be hidden referes to the 4th quarter of 2005, which is stated in a Statistics Denmark report via this link. --Sabbe (talk) 08:27, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

message: We are in need of either an entire article about the Economic history of Denmark or at least a section on this issue here in this article. We could perhaps find inspiration for the structure of such an article in the Economic history of Sweden and similar economic history pages of specific nations. 
As a specific topic, I would appreciate information on the economy of the Faroese Islands, Greenland and perhaps Iceland (up until their seperation and independence during WWII). There should be links to the pages on the Scandinavian Monetary Union as well. Feel free to post more relevant suggestions below.

thread_title:  The Economic history of Denmark 

message: Hello everyone, I am working for the International Trade Centre (ITC), a UN/WTO agency that aims to promote sustainable economic development through trade promotion. I would like to propose the addition of an external link (http://www.macmap.org/QuickSearch/FindTariff/FindTariff.aspx?subsite=open_access&country=SCC208%7cDenmark&source=1|ITC Market Access Map) that leads directly to our online database of customs tariffs applied by Denmark. Visitors can easily look up market access information for Denmark by selecting the product and partner of their interest. I would like you to consider this link under the WP:ELYES #3 prescriptions. Moreover, the reliability and the pertinence of this link can be supported by the following facts 
1) ITC is part of the United Nations, and aims to share trade and market access data on by country and product as a global public good
2) No registration is required to access this information
3) Market access data (Tariffs and non-tariff measures) are regularly updated
Thank you,

message: The lede states that Denmark has "the highest minimum wage in the World". Fact is that Denmark has NO minimum wage at all. In this respect Denmark actually stands out amongst developed and industrialized countries. I don't care to follow the ref, because it is simply not true, that Denmark has a minimum wage. For one thing, sceptics can just click on the Wiki-link to list of minimum wage in countries to see for themselves, that there is no minimum wage in the country. Otherwise I can give this source: Is there a separate legislation relating to minimum wages in Denmark? from WageIndicator.org.
The problem could probably be fixed somehow, by stating that wages are negotiated and as such, Denmark might have "the highest negotiated minimum wage pay in the World", which is quite different, except for the wording of it. But with the current level of "under paid" immigrant and guest workes in the country, I would not endorse a thoughtless introduction of even that statement. There are simply too many people in Denmark at the moment, working for much less than what used to be "the negotiated minimum wage". 
The fact that Denmark has no minimum wage, has been a matter of debate recently, as the influx of "underpaid", "tax evasive" immigrant workers (from primarily Eastern Europe), has increased dramatically. All except one union in Denmark, is arguing against introducing a minimum wage. A bit odd situation compared to the rest of the World. The argument is, that the Danish wages (and cost of living) are currently so high compared to the wages immigrants are willing to get by with, that a fixed minimum wage, will probably be used by employers to lower the wages on a general level.

message: This needs to be updated or some information needs to be removed from the article.
"The income tax in Denmark ranges from 37.4%[25] to 63% progressively, levied on 4 out of 10 full-time employees.[26] Such high rates mean that 1,010,000 Danes before the end of 2008 (44% of all full-time employees) will be paying a marginal income tax of 63% and a combined marginal tax of 70.9% resulting in warnings from organisations such as the OECD.[27][28]"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.236.136.67 (talk) 19:14, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

message: I took the liberty to transform a comment by User:EileenSanda into a new thread on Faroese economy. Hope it is ok with you Eileen? RhinoMind (talk) 12:42, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps it would be a good idea to start a link and source pool for solid information on the economy of The Faroe Islands? You have already some good starting points Sanda.

text: I am just getting frustrated over how difficult I find it to find updated and easy-to-understand-data about the Fareose economy, and we don't even have an article about this subject in the Danish or the Faroese Wikipedia. The only publication in English I can find on hagstova.fo is Faroe Islands in figures 2015 and it is not very informative with details, for instance many of us have heard that the Faroe Islands have exported much more than usual to Russia because of the EU-embargo against Russia, but I can't even find Russia mentioned in that publication, on page 34 under "Trade by country. 2014" and "Non-EU contries" they mention only Norway, Iceland, China, Japan and "Other countries", so where is Russia in all this? Which other countries? How much did the Faroe Islands export to Russia in 2014? I can't find it in this publication. And in the English Wikipedia we use US dollars, while hagstova.fo uses Danish kroner.... which makes it very difficult for someone like me who is not an economist to understand what is what and how to calculate kroner to US dollars, or I know how with todays exchange rate, but will that be correct? I have updated some of the figures in the infobox in the article about the Faroese economy. EileenSanda (talk) 12:49, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Lamb meat is not exported, on the contrary we import lamb meat from Iceland and New Zealand. In the villages many people have sheep, but it is more like a hobby, it is quite expensive for them because they buy extra feed for the sheep for the winter period, it is not enough to let the sheep eat the grass in the fields and to give them dried hay in the winter, of for some it might be enough but for many it is not enough.

message: I suggest replacing the present (somewhat obsolete) section on the economies of Greenland and the Faroe Isles with a short section explaining the independent status of these two areas and redirecting to the independent articles on their economies. Even though both areas are parts of the Kingdom of Denmark, for economical and statistical purposes they are considered independent countries, having separate national accounts, etc. Thus it does not seem very logical or coherent to include them in an account of the economy of Denmark proper, which are the contents of this article. --Økonom (talk) 20:08, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
