The number of people receiving social benefits in Denmark decreased from 2013. This is mainly because the number of people of Danish origin receiving social benefits has declined. Moreover, both the number of immigrants and descendants of immigrants who are social beneficiaries decreased since 2013. The Danish government implemented a reform in 2014 that tightened the conditions for receiving social benefits. In 2022, around 34,000 people of Danish origin and 15,000 immigrants received social benefits in Denmark.
