In Denmark, the majority of people work full-time or part-time. Most are employed in public or private service, but there are also a number of self-employed persons. One work week is 37 hours. The right to paid holiday is achieved through work and entitles the holder to 5 weeks of paid holiday a year.
Both men and women are allowed maternity or paternity leave when they become parents. ¨
Many employees are members of a union that negotiates their wages and their working conditions in relation to managers and workplaces. Many are also members of an unemployment insurance fund (A-Kasse), where you can receive unemployment benefits if you become unemployed. Both trade unions and A-kasse demand that you pay a membership fee of between 3-600 a month to be a member.
