In Denmark, there are major variations in the earning levels of people with different ancestries. Moreover, during the past 10 years, immigrants from western countries have overtaken people of Danish origin as the group with the highest average annual salaries. In 2022, Danish-born workers had average earnings of nearly 248,000 Danish kroner annually, compared to 284,000 kroner among the western migrants. Meanwhile, both immigrants and descendants of immigrants from non-western countries had the lowest annual salaries. Of the two, non-western descendants had the lowest average salaries, earning 185,000 Danish kroner in 2022. Average salaries of all groups of ancestry increased over the past decade.
