Denmark

Denmark is a Scandinavian country comprising the Jutland Peninsula and numerous islands. It’s linked to nearby Sweden via the Oresund bridge. Copenhagen is its capital and the home to high places and picturesque Nyhavn harbor, plus the Tivoli amusement park and the iconic “Little Mermaid” statue. Denmark’s total population is 5.614 million as of 2013, with an unemployment rate of 6.3% in April 2015 and GDP of 335.9 billion USD in 2013. Regarding the economy, Denmark has a diverse, mixed economy. It relies heavily on human resources, but not exclusively as there are a few significant and valuable natural resources available in the country including mature oil and gas wells in the North Sea. Likewise, cooperatives form a large part of some sectors, be it in housing agriculture or retail. This thoroughly modern market economy of Denmark features high –tech farming, up to date small-scale and corporate industry, extensive government welfare measures, comfortable living standards, and high dependence on foreign trade.
