What does Denmark’s future look like in a more globalized world? This week on Last Week in Denmark, co-hosts Kalpita and Golda—both with deep personal and professional ties to Denmark—explore three big demographic shifts with long-term impact: a new projection that internationals and their descendants could become the majority by 2096, Denmark officially reaching a population of 6 million, and a government-funded scholarship program opening doors for African students. These aren’t just numbers—they’re signals of how Denmark is evolving, and what that means for identity, opportunity, and inclusion.
