A Succesful Danish Social Model
Despite high taxes, high unemployment benefits, and a large public sector, Denmark is – together with our Nordic neighbours – among the best-performing countries in the world when looking at both economic and business indicators as well as various social and welfare parameters. In this publication, we zoom in on the essential pillars of the Danish welfare and labour market model.

The Independent Annual Growth Survey
The independent Annual Growth Survey (iAGS). The report brings together a group of internationally competitive economists to provide an independent alternative to the Annual Growth Survey (AGS) published by the European Commission. The iAGS is published simultaneously with the Annual Growth Survey of the European Commission at the start of the European semester.
The report was commissioned by the S&D Group in the European Parliament and prepared by four economic institutes: the OFCE (Paris), the ECLM (Copenhagen), the IMK (Düsseldorf) and the AKW (Vienna).
