This chapter presents tables of data on Denmark and an account of its increased earnings distribution. It shows that the direction of movement in recent years has been towards widening earnings dispersion, but the magnitude has been too small to register according to the criteria adopted in this study. It is only at the top, particularly the top percentile, that the widening is large enough to register.
Keywords: country data, data sources, earnings distribution, earnings dispersion,
