We are rpz of the Danish gvt and we are here to present you the immigration policy of our country :

Denmmark a small country was very welcoming with migrants. Indeed, migrants provided a
labor force to the country which population was aging and that helped the development of
the country.
Immigration to Denmark increased during the 60’s. A majority of migrants were migrants
laborers coming from Turkey, Pakistan..
Over the 20th century, the country became the home to refugees and immigrants from the
Soviet bloc, the Middle east and beyond.
BUT:
70’s = immigration policy became more strict due to the first oil crises that had bad
consequences in the Danish economy => decrease in the number of migrants arriving in
Denmark.
The political climate regarding immigrants was positive until the 90’s (ninety’s) and
immigration was not seen as an issue by political parties.
The difficult integration of migrants has encouraged the rise of populism and during the last
years Denmark took steps to reduce drastically and discourage immigration.
Denmark is not an attractive country for refugees anymore who are not well integrated.
