This trend has been followed over a ten-year period and results indicate that the effect on wages has been positive.

The research shows that the average increase for Danes employed in the private sector and subject to decentralised wage bargaining is 5 percent higher than for employees whose wages are calculated on the basis of parameters such as seniority.

Among those who benefit the most are those with a long-term higher education and long-term work experience. For this group, wages have risen by 7percent, while those with shorter education and little work experience have seen their wages rise by 3percent.
