Denmark 2020 Vision

I have just come across this very nice report by the Danish Government, which could serve as a useful blueprint for a lot of countries in the EU and elsewhere.

The report gas 10 explicit goals for 2020 (see below) and a set of detailed policy actions to achieve it.

1. Denmark is to be among the world’s wealthiest countries
2. The Danish supply of labour is to be among the 10 highest in the world
3. Danish schoolchildren are to be among the cleverest in the world
4. At least one Danish university is to be in Europe’s top 10
5. Denmark is to be among the 10 countries in the world where people live the longest
6. Denmark is to be a green, sustainable society and among the world’s three most energy efficient countries
7. Denmark is to be among the best at creating equal opportunities
8. Denmark is to be among the freest countries and among the best in Europe at achieving integration
9. Danes are to be among the world’s most trusting and safe people
10. The public sector is to be among the most efficient and least bureaucratic in the world
