Youth in Denmark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Youth in Denmark includes individuals 15 to 25 years old.[1] Denmark's demographic development resembles other western European countries with an increasing elderly population and low birth rate.[2] Hence, youth in Denmark only comprise 13% of Denmark's 5,556,452 population consisting of 367,927 males and 352,872 females. The sex ratio is 1.04 male/female.[1]
During youth, families typically embrace an individualistic self-development.[3] Danes begin to make decisions in regards to health and educational options.[2][4] The government's underlying institutional features allow youth to face a lower risk of long term unemployment compared to other countries.[4] Consuming alcohol and exercising regularly are prominent activities.[3][5] Different values and diverse contexts guide youth practices.[6]
