Litera
cy
Denmark has a very high literacy rate, in which
almost all residents over the age of 15 can
both read and write (99%). By law, children are
required to attend nine years of school. After
the seventh year of elementary school,
students may choose to attend a five-year high
school, as opposed to the required two-year
school, in order to be eligible to be accepted
into one of Denmark’s three universities.
College is free and students receive
government grants to attend.
Society:
Denmark is a highly developed society,
with a passion for culture. Of the Nordic
countries, the Danish culture tends to
be more Central European. The country
ranks 15th on the high human
development category on the human
development index2000, which is
determined by a composite of three
components of human development,
life expectancy, education, and
standard of living.
Government:
Denmark is a constitutional monarchy, though the
reigning monarch has little real power while serving
as the head of state. The government leaders
consist of a king or queen, a prime minister, cabinet,
a parliament, and Supreme Court made up of 15
judges which is broken up into three branches:
executive, legislative, and judicial. Denmark is
divided up into 14 counties and 2 large
municipalities, Copenhagen and Frederiksberg.
While they are a part of the Kingdom of Denmark,
the Faroe Islands and Greenland, are self-governing
administrative divisions. Although Denmark has
many political parties, the three leading parties are
the Social Democratic Party, which currently has
control, the Conservative People's Party and the
Liberal Party. The radical Progressive Party is another
Energy
Most electricity is produced from coal, but Denmark
also has a record high share of wind power in the
electricity mix.
To encourage investment in wind power, families
were offered a tax exemption for generating their
own electricity within their own or an adjoining
commune. While this could involve purchasing a
turbine outright, more often families purchased
shares in wind turbine cooperatives which in turn
invested in community wind turbines.
Contd ….

By 2004 over 150,000 danes were either

members of cooperatives or owned turbines, and
about 5,500 turbines had been installed, although
with greater private sector involvement the
proportion owned by cooperatives had fallen to
75%. Wind turbines produce 16-19% of electricity
demand (2004-2006 statistics) . Denmark is
connected by transmission lines to other
European countries.
Because of energy taxes, Denmark has the
highest household electricity prices in the world,
while industries pay just below EU average
