Denmark debates reducing foreign workforce amid record immigration levels

A live debate on Denmark’s foreign labour policies is underway on national broadcaster DR, as the country faces record numbers of foreign workers, DR Nyheder reports.

Recent studies by industry groups Dansk Industri and Dansk Erhverv show the number of foreign nationals working in Denmark has reached all-time highs. The issue is now the focus of Debatten, a current affairs programme airing on DR1 at 21:25 local time.

The discussion will examine immigration policy and the role of foreign labour in the Danish economy. A live blog is tracking the debate on DR’s website.
