In this video we take a look Denmark's stance on minimum wage for Danish workers. In fact, there is no minimum wage - as part of a system that has historically benefited workers.

We take a look at the labor model in Denmark and how it evolved over time. There are also many instances of this model being over-simplified through internet memes and soundbites.

In a darker way, the lack of a minimum wage is sometimes exploited by industries like high end restaurants. In particular, Danish restaurant Noma has been criticized for relying on unpaid labor.

The European Union has enacted policy that contradicts the Danish model (and the Swedish model) for labor rates and wages. This has led to law suits and potentially future litigation
