"Hello, my girlfriend (both 30 years old) and I are thinking about moving to Denmark, as we've seen it mentioned everywhere as a country with many opportunities and a demand for professional skills. I'd like to mention that we are Italians, where over 40 years, salaries have dropped by almost 10%, and with the current lifestyle, it's not enough to live normally. We pay rent, groceries, bills, gasoline, and we almost run out of money. We would like to start a family sooner or later, something that isn't possible in Italy. So, for a guy (me) with 7 years of experience on lathes, grinding machines, and lapping machines, who has worked for Ferrari and Bosch, and holds a diploma as a Full Stack Web Developer, could there be a future? And what about my girlfriend, who has a 3-year bachelor’s degree in economy and finance and works as an accountant?
PS: I’m studying Dutch just because I love foreign languages. I can speak English and French too (B2).

kqdhv2lI'm sure you could both do fine in the end - if your wife wants to do a masters, i think there are a lot of english ones. If she gets a student job 12hrs+ per week, she will qualify as an EU worker, which gives her the rights to SU, which is a stipendium of 700 € post-tax per month during her studies.
However, if you're looking to move to a place with higher living standards, i can't help but think Switzerland would be much easier in terms of language/cultural/geographical distance. (i think french would very easy to learn for an italian compared to danish)

kqdls0qUnless of course you are looking for something fairly different from italy, with colder weather, more reserved and relaxed people, and you look forward to learning the language, then disregard the comment above. I wrote that because you seemed to focus on mostly economical aspects in your post.
