The population growth rate is based on two elements, the birth, and the death rate. In Denmark the birth rate is 10.4 births / 1,000 population (2016 estimate), the death rate 10.3 deaths / 1,000 population (2016 estimate).

In this day and age in developed societies, the first child borns later compared to the previous centuries and decades, so childbearing is extended. In Denmark, the average age of mothers at the first childbirth is N/A.

Although the children’s birth is postponed in the best-case scenario, the parents can still see their kids grow as life expectancy also extended. In the case of Denmark, these figures are.

Economic data of Denmark

Suppose we would like to describe a country. We also have to mention its economy; This thoroughly modern market economy features a high-tech agricultural sector, advanced industry with world-leading firms in pharmaceuticals, maritime shipping, renewable energy, and a high dependence on foreign trade. Denmark is a net exporter of food. Denmark is an EU member; Danish legislation and regulations conform to EU standards on almost all issues. Despite previously meeting the criteria to join the European Economic and Monetary Union, Denmark has negotiated an opt-out with the EU. After a long consumption-driven upswing, Denmark’s economy began slowing in 2007 with the end of a housing boom. Housing prices dropped markedly in 2008-09 but, with significant regional differences, have since recovered. The global financial crisis exacerbated this cyclical slowdown by increasing domestic borrowing costs and lowering Danish exports’ foreign demand. Denmark maintained a healthy budget surplus for many years up to 2008, but the budget balance swung into.

GDP is a prominent figure, as all the relevant calculations and statistics are based on it. GDP in Denmark is $302.6 billion (2015 estimate).

Another important indicator is the rate of GDP growth, which in Denmark is 1% (2016 estimate), 1% (2015 estimate) 1.3% (2014 estimate).

A further major factor of a country’s economy, the GDP per capita. In Denmark this is $46,600 (2016 estimate) $46,300 (2015 estimate) $46,100 (2014 estimate).

In the economy, the Trinity is in common places, such as agriculture, industry, and services.

More interesting facts about Denmark

A few words about the past, as every country and society, are connected to its history; Once the seat of Viking raiders and later a major north European power, Denmark has evolved into a modern, prosperous nation participating in the general political and economic integration of Europe. It joined NATO in 1949 and the EEC (now the EU) in 1973. However, the country has opted out of certain EU’s Maastricht Treaty elements, including the European Economic and Monetary Union, European defense cooperation, and issues concerning certain justice and home affairs.

In every nation’s memory, some cornerstones placed the country on the timeline of history. The date of Denmark’s declaration of independence: ca. 965 (unified and Christianized under HARALD I Gormson); 5 June 1849 (became a parliamentary constitutional monarchy).

The flag and other symbols of Denmark

The colors, symbols, and animals on the flag usually have a historical background or an important milestone or memory of the nation.

This case is not an exception either; red with a white cross that extends to the edges of the flag; the vertical part of the cross is shifted to the hoist side; the banner is referred to as the Dannebrog (Danish flag) and is one of the oldest national flags in the world; traditions as to the origin of the flag design vary, but the best known is a legend that the banner fell from the sky during an early-13th century battle; caught up by the Danish king before it ever touched the earth, this heavenly talisman inspired the royal army to victory; in actuality, the flag may derive from a crusade banner or ensign. Note: the shifted cross design element was subsequently adopted by the other Nordic countries of Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.

The GINI index was named after its founder Corrado Gini, an Italian economist. Gini index has grades between 0-1, but often it is used on a percentage basis. It is 0 if the examined criteria territorial distribution is equal. It is one of the criteria concentrated on the territory. In Denmark, the GINI index is .24,8 (2011 estimate).
