Greenlandic people in Denmark (also known as Greenlandic Danes) are residents of Denmark with Greenlandic or Greenlandic Inuit heritage. According to StatBank Greenland, as of 2020, there were 16,780 people born in Greenland living in Denmark, a figure representing almost one third of the population of Greenland.[2][3] According to a 2007 Danish government report, there were 18,563 Greenlandic people living in Denmark.[1][4] The exact number is difficult to calculate because of the lack of differentiation between Greenlandic and Danish heritage in Danish government records and also due to the fact that the way in which people identify themselves is not always a reflection of their birthplace.[5][6][7] As of 2018, there were 2,507 Greenlanders enrolled in education in Denmark.[2]
Greenlanders have Danish citizenship as Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.[8] This means they are entitled to the same privileges as ethnic Danes but also that Greenlanders miss out on services extended to newly arrived immigrants in Denmark.[9][5] Greenlandic people are not recognised as an ethnic minority in Denmark.[8]
Greenlandic people in Denmark experience higher rates of unemployment, poverty, homelessness and substance abuse than ethnic Danes.[10] There are also high levels of prejudice and discrimination reported by Greenlanders living in Denmark.[10] As per the COE recommendations, the Danish government has recognised the need to improve the situation of Greenlandic Danes.[11]
