Denmark: Sterilization of Unemployed May be a Good Idea

Google Translated

It has happened that Lolland Municipality has advised recipients of cash assistance to undergo sterilization, explains labor boss in Lolland Municipality, Carsten High Hansen.

- You can get into a situation where you suggest a client to be sterilized.It may be, for example, if the client is very young and already have many children.

Liberal Alliance Simon Emil Ammitzbøll is not the only one who thinks that sterilization may be a good idea.

But the issue is delicate, and it is only in exceptional cases that Lolland Municipality has advised in this way.

Appearance is important:

It is not something that comes on the field, if it ‘only’ about getting a job.

- We’re not saying to people that they should undergo sterilization to get a job. When it comes to helping unemployed to get a job, it is mainly personal appearance we advise on. For example, we advise them to look clean and groomed out, says Carsten High Hansen.
