In Denmark, people bicycle in all types of weather and at all times of day. Bycycles are used for pleasure, commuting, transport of goods, and family travel. In the big cities in Denmark, it is often easier to commute by bike than by car. 64% of Danes own a bike. There are more than 745.000 bikes in Copenhagen.
Gender equality is a cornerstone of the Danish welfare state. When it comes to gender equality parameters, Denmark has been on the forefront for more than a hundred years. That said, Danish men still earn 12.7 per cent more than women.
Denmark loves clean, renewable energy. The wind production per capita exceeds that of any other OECD country. Moreover, bioenergy plays an important role in the Danish energy system.
Danes are some of Europe’s most efficient workers – but they do not just live to work. Maintaining a good balance between time on the job and personal life is important to them, and employers respect this.
