stagnate unless Danes become more \u2018passionate\u2019 and are willing to spend more than the required 37 hours a week at work.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten the executive, who\u2019s held top positions in both the USA and UK, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDanes, and especially the younger generation, have become spoiled and pampered. They\u2019ve grown up in a society where they\u2019ve been wet-nursed and given everything without having to live up to any demands. I see it when I interview people \u2013 they\u2019re more interested in pensions and fringe benefits than the job in question.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Labour think tank: ‘Unfounded’<\/h2>\n<p>Senior economist Martin Madsen of The Economic Council of the Labour Movement dismissed the criticism as \u2018unfounded\u2019 and said it would be more relevant to take a closer look at the labour supply and working hours to ensure the future of society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis government has already done a lot to get more people into the labour market by its reforms of social benefits, early retirement, and sick leave. These will boost the labour supply in the long run,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.business.dk\/arbejdsmarked\/finansmand-revser-danskernes-arbejdsmoral\" target=\"_blank\">article (in Danish) here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>universitypost@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Like us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UniversityPost\" target=\"_blank\"> Facebook <\/a> for features, guides and tips on upcoming events.
