From the beginning of lockdown, the Danish center-left government has implemented various programs of assistance and subsidies for businesses, administrations, and the financial sector. On March 14, 2020, a tripartite agreement was signed allowing employees of struggling businesses to maintain their salary during lockdown. As a result of these measures, the “security” element of the Danish flexicurity model has been promoted to the detriment of the “flexibility” side. Nevertheless, the threat of a third wave of the pandemic represents a risk for the Danish economy and labor market.
