Many experienced skilled and unskilled workers are expected to have retired by 2035, resulting in a projected loss of 103,000 skilled workers and 60,000 unskilled workers with primary or lower-secondary education. Their departure could exacerbate shortages in skilled labour, making it challenging to complete both infrastructure and green energy projects. Investments in green energy, particularly offshore wind, are projected to fall dramatically after 2032 in the absence of new policy commitments. Without such commitments, labour demand is expected to decline sharply, risking a collapse of the green energy job market in Denmark. The volatility of the Danish green energy labour market illustrates a potential mismatch between political ambition, financial incentives and workforce planning.
