Description
Danish Broadcasting Corporation, DR, announced 4 September 2014 that between 170 and 200 employees will be made redundant due to new saving plans. The cost savings are due to a new media agreement passed in the Parliament. DR will save DKK 161 million at a yearly basis for the next four years. Part of the plan is to close down a very popular orchestra, the DR Entertainment Orchestra that has existed for 75 years. DR has not informed about the foreseen end date of the restructuring, but only commented that it will take place "in the near future".
The management of DR has declared that they are open for discussions with the employee representatives with the aim to mitigate the effects of the restructuring.

The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
