A high proportion of 15 to 64 year olds in Denmark and Sweden work part time compared to other EU countries. One in four in that age bracket work part time in both Denmark and Sweden, and that is considerable more than the EU average, says Statistics Denmark, based on numbers form the joint European Labour Force Survey, 2nd quarter 2015.
