Evidence snapshot for Denmark
Denmark has implemented several gender equality initiatives spanning youth development, entrepreneurship, and parental leave policy. Girl Power - Denmark uses football-based training to empower girls aged 8-10 from diverse backgrounds, while With Purpose - Startup School supports female entrepreneurs, though it notes that only around 1% of capital raised in Denmark goes to female-founded teams. Most significantly, Denmark's Earmarked Parental Leave for Fathers — Act No. 679/2022 shows measurable impact: fathers' average leave doubled from ~5 to ~10 weeks following the 2022 law, and 60% more fathers claimed benefits by July 2025, narrowing the parental income gap between partners. KVINFO serves as the country's knowledge center for gender and equality, disseminating research to policymakers and the public.
