Hummelgaard: - Discrimination is terrible

- I think that any form of discrimination is horrible, and I think it is sad that we are still experiencing it here on the edge to a whole new decade, it sounds from the minister for employment Peter Hummelgaard (S) for Extra Magazine earlier in the day revealed how an arab-sounding name can very easily trigger a no for a job interview.

on the other hand was the open door to the newspaper's journalist Helle, even though the application was the same as the 24-year-old Aya Walid sent to the same firm as a part of the Extra Magazine's series on job-gakgak in NyDanmark.

Companies may not make the difference between neither gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation. There is the law perfectly clear. The law states that it is skills that determine whether a person should be offered a job, so I think it is sad that there still exists racism.

- Especially when companies in addition, running around in time and early, and howls up on, that they lack manpower. So it's a little hard to take seriously.

- you Can do anything politically to stop the structural discrimination, as experts and studies point to exist?

- If companies say no to labor, merely because an applicant is of a different ethnicity, then the handles up in it. It is certainly not credible if at the same time they howl about the lack of manpower.

- The second part of it is that we have a functioning Ligebehandlingsnævn, which takes care of cases such as that here, and actually, I think that your case should consider to report the case. If nothing else then to get it tested.

Welcome to the Extra Magazine Special

Extra Magazine Special is a quality stamp. It is a new brand for our very best and most thorough journalism. I think you should read.

In this Special series we focus on how immigrants continue to struggle to get a place in the labour market - and on what we will get for the 13 billion dollars, to be used each year at job centres to provide all danes work.

NyDanmark - 11. dec. 2019 - at. 12:04 Mini-documentary: Here it goes completely wrong at the job centre


the Extra Leaf has over the last few days, told how the state spends 13 billion dollars on the job centers without knowing the exact effect.

It is more money than there used to psychiatry, and at the same time there are massive problems around the municipal job centres. Problems, as the Extra Magazine highlights in the project's Job-gakgak’.

- I agree that we spend much money on it. But the alternative is that we are nothing doing in order to make people a part of the working community. I think this is not a welfare state worthy is the answer from the minister for employment Peter Hummelgaard.

- It is to be in contact with people who are far from the labour market and offer them help, and ways to handle their problems, I think it works. The question is whether it works well enough in the design, which is now, after the municipalities have taken over the employment. I also think it is clear that we can discuss.

- We can discuss whether the municipalities is good enough to treat citizens with dignity and respect, and whether they are doing enough to be aware that it is the citizens ' rights that are at the top – and not the municipality's own coffers.
