Statistical concepts and definitions

Activity rate: The share of the population in the labour force measured as a percentage

Confidentiality threshold: Figures from Statistics Denmark are published in a form implying that individuals or businesses remain anonymous. Consequently, data are made anonymous to the extent considered necessary by Statistics Denmark. Consequently there has to be at least five persons in a cell. Otherwise information is erased from the cell.

Degree of unemployment: A degree of unemployment (during the year) of 1000 denotes 37 hours of unemployment per week over the entire year. Consequently, a graduate may have a degree of unemployment ranging between 0 and 1000. When the figure is summed up, the number of full-time unemployed is counted in terms of units. This figure is used in estimating the unemployment rate.

Employment: The calculation of employment is based on information from the register-based labour force statistics. The register-based labour force statistics is compiled in a way which assures that concepts and definitions are as close as possible to the ILO definition of employment. A person is calculated as employed if he has at least on hour paid work in the reference week and the end of November. An employed person can be classified as either self-employed, assisting spouse or employee. A person who is temporarily absent from employment due to leave (parental leave, maternity leave or sickness leave) is calculated as employed, because he still has an attachment to the labour market.

Graduate: The word "candidate" could also have been used as a synonym for "graduate". Due to the circumstance that not all graduates of the educational institutions under the Ministry of Culture attains a bachelor's or master's degree the concept "graduate" is used for all persons. Graduates living abroad are not included because Statistics Denmark does not have access to information about them.

Labour force: The sum of employment and unemployment.

Labour market status: Measures the attachment to the labour market at the end of November for employed persons. Employed persons can be divided into self-employed (including assisting spouses) and employees in the private and public sector.

Personal income: Comprises all types of income (except property income), i.e.: earned income, daily cash, benefits and the like (social assistance, leave benefits and other types of benefit), other transfer income (state education grants, housing benefits and child allowance) and other personal income (e.g. grants from the Danish Arts Foundation).

Primary income: Includes wage and fringe benefits for employees and profit for self-employed. Income from self-employment is calculated on the basis of the rules governing taxation for calculation of entrepreneurial income, etc.

Unemployed: The calculation of unemployment is based on information from the register-based unemployment statistics. The register-based unemployment statistics is compiled in a way which assures that concepts and definitions are as close as possible to the ILO definition of unemployment. According to the definition a person shall meet three conditions to be counted as unemployed. The conditions are: the person does not have a job, the person is available for work and the person is actively seeking work. Net unemployed consist of persons insured against unemployment and non-insured in match category 1 (=available for work). Gross unemployed consists of net unemployed plus persons in activation programmes who are, at the same time, considered to be available for work.

Unemployment rate: Summed up degree of unemployment (during the year) in relation to the number of graduates calculated as a percentage.
