Prevalence, Abuse & Exploitation of Street Children

Kingdom of Denmark                                                                 [ Country-by-Country Reports ]

The Kingdom of Denmark [map] is located in N Europe and is bordered by Germany (S), the North Sea (W), the Skagerrak (N), and the Kattegat and the Øresund (E).  Copenhagen is Denmark's capital, largest city, and chief industrial center.  Because of high GDP per capita, welfare benefits, a low Gini index, and political stability, the Danish people enjoy living standards topped by no other nation. A major long-term issue will be the sharp decline in the ratio of workers to retirees.
