The number of people receiving social benefits in Denmark decreased from 2013. Moreover, there were significantly more people from non-western countries than people from western countries who received social benefits between 2012 and 2022. In 2022, 14,000 people with a non-western origin and around 2,000 with a western origin received social benefits in Denmark. The majority of social benefits recipients had Danish origin though. The Danish government implemented a reform in 2014 that tightened the conditions for receiving social benefits.
