  • Female managers earn less than males

    Despite efforts, women continue to earn less than men also in Denmark.

    Female managers earn 9.8% less than their male counterparts. The wage gap has decreased compared to the previous year, when it was 11.7%, but there is still a long way to go to achieve true equality.

    This is stated by an analysis conducted by HBS Economics for Lederne, which examined the wage gap between female and male managers in the private sector aged between 25 and 59.

    Factors such as maternity leave, sick leave, experience, and other considerations contribute to the gap.

    As the CEO of Lederne, Bodil Nordestgaard Ismiris, states, the first signs of change in the wage gap are becoming noticeable, and they are satisfied with this progress. He expressed confidence that, at this pace, the gap will be eliminated. Their goal is to achieve equal pay between genders.

  • The royal family is holding a lottery for a chance to attend Princess Isabella´s 18th birthday

    Princess Isabella of Denmark will celebrate her 18th birthday with official events in Aarhus and Copenhagen.

    A lottery will be a key part of the celebrations for Princess Isabella’s 18th birthday. Young people have the chance to win tickets to attend special events in Aarhus and Copenhagen.

    For the Aarhus event on April 11, the city sent out 11,006 invitations to young people between the ages of 17 and 19. These individuals can sign up for a chance to be part of the celebration at Aarhus City Hall. After signing up, 50 winners will be randomly chosen to attend the event, with a companion. The lottery is aimed at including local youth and giving them the chance to experience this special event.

    For the Copenhagen event on April 15, over 1,000 young people between 17 and 24 years old from across Denmark will have the opportunity to win tickets to attend the birthday performance at the Royal Danish Theatre. Similar to the Aarhus event, the lottery will allow young people from across the Kingdom to take part in this memorable celebration.

    To enter the lottery, people can sign up through the Royal Danish Theatre’s website for the Copenhagen event, while those in Aarhus can enter the lottery after receiving their invitations. The winners will be notified around the end of March.

  • Rune came up short to Briton Draper in Indian Wells

    23-year old British Jack Draper proved too strong, as Holger Rune lost the biggest final of his career so far.

    The Dane was quickly down 0 – 4 in the first set, and was pressed backwards on the court from the strong Brit, before losing the first set 6-2.

    The second set started equally bad for the Dane, and he was down 0-2 before finding his feet. Draper broke Runes’ serve again  to 5-2 and any Danish hopes for a comeback faded fast.

    Draper closed the match with a 6-2, 6-2 overall win, after a promising performance.

    “It was a difficult day for me, but I would like to congratulate Jack (Draper, ed.). What a tournament you have played over the past two weeks,” said Rune afterwards.

    After a difficult start to 2025 – and after not having been in a final like this for over two years – it was mostly thanks that were handed out during the official interview after the match.

    “Thanks to my team, we are doing well, so let’s keep chasing more and pushing the limits. It is not nice to lose, but that is life sometimes,” said Rune.

    Holger Rune moves up one place in the world rankings to number 12 and will head to Miami to another Masters 1000 tournament starting later this week.
