Childcare after school start

There are several different diverse users of the statistics. The Danish Ministries use the statistics to compare the resource allocation to childcare in different municipalities and to develop policies on child care. Interest organizations, such as the National Association of Pedagogues (BUPL), the National Associations of Muncipalities (KL) and The Association of Parents (FOLA) use the statistics to assess the allocation of resources and the service level in the childcare area. Data has been collected on the basis of an agreement between Statistics Denmark and the Ministry of Children and Social Affairs.

User Needs

There are several different users of the statistics and such users are diverse. The Danish Ministries use the inventories to compare the resource allocation for childcare in different municipalities and to develop policies on the child care area. In addition, the figures are also used in cross-municipal comparisons of municipalities' resource allocation for childcare in daycare institutions. Various interest groups use the inventories to assess the municipalities' prioritization of staff and children in the childcare area. This applies to both interest groups such as the National Association of Pedagogues (BUPL) and The Association of Parents (FOLA) as well as broader interest organizations such as the National Associations of Muncipalities (KL). The figures are also used by researchers who examine developments in the resource allocation in the childcare area or combine the inventories with other statistical information.
