Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Denmark's generous unemployment benefits are likely to reduce the opportunity cost of leisure. Even if Danish citizens lose wages from not working, this price of leisure is reduced by the welfare payments that they receive. Since the opportunity cost (and price) of leisure is low, workers may choose to consume more leisure and will be willing to supply fewer hours of work. This could explain why the proportion of people who are not in the labor force in Denmark is high.
