Danish Round-Up: Second-generation immigrants work more than their parents did 20 to 40 years ago

Increasing numbers of non-Western descendants have jobs — particularly compared to their parents when they were the same age in the 1980s and 1990s. Comparing the employment rate of non-Western descendants aged in their 30s with that of their parents, a study of Danmarks Statistik reveals that 70 percent of the men and 65 percent of the women were in employment in 2017. The biggest difference is between males with a higher education and their counterparts in the 1980s and 90s: some 89 percent compared to 59 percent. Likewise, there was a large gulf among the women. The gap seems to have closed between ethnic Danes and immigrants. <a href="https://gjonivalmira.medium.com/danish-round-up-second-generation-immigrants-work-more-than-their-parents-did-20-to-40-years-ago-3388b5c725a7">Read More</a>
