Details

Costs are a crucial factor for businesses, both locally and globally. Add that to the challenge of recruiting the necessary competencies in a small country like Denmark. It was exactly the salary level combined with the access to qualified labor that Danish companies in Poland used as the basis for their decision on relocation.

By relocating all or part of the company’s production to Poland, the Danish companies have strengthened their competitiveness – not only in the domestic market – but also globally.

The Polish economy and society have experienced major changes following the Polish entry into the European Union. Companies from across the Union have sought Poland to benefit from the competitive advantages that can be gained from relocating to Poland. The free movement in the EU has resulted in more than 1.2 million Poles moving away from Poland to other EU countries since their inclusion in the EU. The increased prosperity in Poland has also resulted in falling birth rates as seen in many other European countries.

The result of these factors is that the Polish labor market is under pressure. According to a study by the European Commission, Poland is experiencing a shortage of skilled labor that is 2.5 times higher than the average in the rest of the EU.

In the future, Danish companies should expect that the competition for qualified labor in Poland will continue to increase. In Ukraine, you have access to a large qualified workforce at an attractive cost level.
