In this paper, we provide an industry-level analysis of skill-biased technological change
(SBTC) in Denmark over the last two decades. The analysis shows that SBTC has varied
considerably across industries, and traditionally large Danish industries have experienced
relatively less SBTC. This may partly explain why wage inequality between skilled and less
skilled has risen less in Denmark than in other countries. We also find that SBTC has been
concentrated in already skill-intensive industries. This contains important information about
future labour requirements, as the relative importance of these industries must be expected
to grow, thereby reinforcing the shift in demand for skilled labour.
