Strategi for rekruttering og fastholdelse af international arbejdskraft

The number of foreign citizens employed in
Aarhus has doubled during the period 2014–24.
This development testifies to a labour market that
requires international labour, not only highly
educated personnel and specialists, but also both
skilled and unskilled workers. Multiple studies
indicate that the positive development of
employment in Denmark is already primarily
powered by international labour, and this trend
is expected to continue going forward. Forecasts
suggest that the shortage of labour will remain an
issue in the immediate future, given the small year
groups entering the labour market at the same
time as an increasing number of senior citizens
and larger year groups are entering retirement. In
the future, it will therefore be necessary to recruit
and affiliate international labour. Denmark is
already dependent on international labour, and the
shortfall in domestic labour is predicted to
increase over the coming years.

Aarhus City Council has therefore established a
committee comprising two city councillors and
several representatives from the business
community and other relevant organisations. The
committee has been tasked with developing
existing and new initiatives which, together, have
the potential to boost the city’s work with
internationalisation.
