Government Policy in Denmark

Denmark has high taxes, but there government pays for a lot of the things that are involved in Denmark’s country. They use the high tax money to fund daycares and other child organizations.

Denmark has the highest growth rate of all the stage 4 European countries. This has lead the government to put immigration laws to decrease there immigration rates, which, now make up only 8% of the population (the laws were enforced in 2001).The reason immigration is an issue for the Denmark government is because it wants its population to stem off and become an even death and birth rate.

Also, a new law was enforced that Danish citizens could not bring a forgein spouse in Denmark unless they are 24 years of age and older. The most important thing is that for foreigners themselves (or second generation) must have stronger links with Denmark, it will be judged by the strong links that they have. After enforcing several laws, some 13,000 family reunification permits were granted in 2001, but as time went by, it had fallen to fewer than 5,000 family permits in 2003.
