Danish adoptees will be exempt from a new rule requiring certain immigrants receiving social welfare to work at unskilled municipal jobs, following feedback from advocacy groups. Initially, the legislation did not include exemptions for adoptees, who argued they should not be treated as foreign nationals since they were brought to Denmark by Danish parents as children. The government aims to accommodate these concerns, with calls now being made to revise a 2018 law concerning eligibility for other welfare benefits to ensure that adopted individuals are fully recognized as having equal standing with their Danish-born peers.
The Danish government is making efforts to clarify the status of internationally adopted individuals, who will be exempt from new employment-related welfare rules aimed at immigrants.
Adopted people, as argued by advocacy groups, shouldn't be categorized alongside foreign nationals, given that they were brought to Denmark as infants by Danish parents.
