Denmark has updated its positive list to woo foreign skilled
workers as it tries to address its labour shortfall.
The positive list refers to professions experiencing a
shortage of skilled or highly qualified professionals in Denmark.
The Danish Agency for International Recruitment and
Integration (SIRI) updates the list twice a year based on the ongoing labour
market monitoring — January 1 and July 1.
The list covers jobs for persons with a higher
education and skilled workers.
According to the updated list, 72 job titles have been
reserved for people with higher education while skilled workers have 38 slots.
Foreigners who have been offered a job that is part of the
positive list for people with a higher education are eligible to apply for both
a residence and work permit in Denmark under the scheme.
Some of these areas include the military, business and
administrative positions, production and service, healthcare, teaching and
education, economics, law and social sciences, information communication and
technology, and engineering.
Foreign skilled workers with expertise in healthcare,
personal service, personal care, building and trade, and metal and machinery
are also sought after, according to the list.
Those in these categories include business professionals,
secretaries, clerks, assistants, welders, carpenters, chefs, paramedics,
service technicians, real estate agents, etc.
In previous months, countries like Germany and Canada have
eased their visa processes and amended immigration laws to woo more foreign
talents as they grapple with a labour shortage.
The German parliament in June 2023 introduced an
“opportunity card” to allow foreigners who do not yet have a job to come to
Germany for a year to find employment.
In November 2023, Canada said it was seeking to welcome
485,000 immigrants this year, including skilled workers and caregivers.
