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 Municipalities (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.

User Satisfaction

The statistics have been prepared on the basis of a contract between the Ministry of Children and Social Affairs and Statistics Denmark. There is a follow-up group linked to the statistics including BUPL and KL. Participants in the follow-up group are regularly informed about the work with the statistics, and participate in developing the statistics.
