The report outlines the main characteristics of the Danish social services sector and its different Collective Bargaining Agreements. It focuses on the different forms of social dialogue in social services and key issues that are discussed. Future prospects of social dialogue in social services are highlighted before the report moves to conclusions and recommendations.
Social Dialogue in Denmark builds on a more than 100-year-old tradition for collective bargaining between employers and trade unions. The dialogue is an integrated part of the Danish labour market model, often referred to as “The Danish model”. The system of social dialogue is based on voluntarism and is only encompassed by very little legislation. It is an on-going process taking place both formally and informally at all levels of government.
Interviews carried out for the study show that some of the key issues in the Danish social dialogue are: Working environment, types of employment, competency development of individual employees and education in general, digitisation and new technology as well as ethics and morality.
