DENMARK: Somalis in the Diaspora
According to Dansk Børsen:
During the last 10 years the number of immigrants engaged in active employment has gone up considerably. At the beginning of 2005 46 per cent of immigrants aged 16-66 years were working, compared to 34,5 per cent in 1997. Nearly 75 per cent of the Danish population are employed. The rising number of immigrants on the labour market is a result of more immigrants succeeding in finding a job and a growing number of immigrants and their descendants in the years 1997-2005. The group of non-ethnic Danes consist of more than 150 nationalities. Male immigrants from Turkey, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka have an employment frequency of over 60 per cent. On the other hand, less than 20 per cent of the women from Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia and Afghanistan are employed.
