Transnational forum in Denmark Print E-mail
Within the project DENS the Transnational forum, where experts and stakeholders from four countries (Slovenia, Denmark, Czech Republic and Croatia) were involved, took place between 15th and 17th September in Aalborg, Denmark.

Objectives of the forum:
  • To discuss about existing policy framework, programmes and projects in partners countries related to active ageing and flexicurity
  • To find new ideas, practices, policies, initiatives related to active ageing and flexicurity
  • To enable mutual learning by exchanging experiences, good practices and knowledge between the policy makers and other key stakeholders
  • To enable further networking of key stakeholders in partner countries


Project partners concluded that Danish labour market is much more flexible than other partner countries labour markets. LM measures in Denmark are quickly adapting to current labour market situation. Partners found out differences especially in effective social system and in higher awareness regarding ageing workforce. Danish social dialogue is very efficient with long tradition, strong partnership approach supported by trade unions and other social partners.

Lessons learned
Partners became aware that Job rotation system which is very successful in Denmark can be an effective measure for increasing flexibility at labour market and at the same time could be used for dealing with ageing workforce and senior policies. Job rotation can support active ageing and it can bring win-win situation for all.  Partners decided to further on discuss and develop the scheme of JR as tool for supporting active ageing and flexicurity policies in individual partnner countries as well as wider in EU.
