Comparability

Comparability - geographical

Similar statistics are also produced in other countries, but the compilation of these statistics is not based on any EU regulations or other international guidelines and standards. It is therefore difficult to make a direct international comparison of the figures.

Comparability over time

These statistics have so far only been produced for the year 2018. Comparability over time is thus not yet possible.

Coherence - cross domain

These statistics are related to statistics on childcare published by Statistics Denmark. In recent years, these statistics have been subject to increased political attention, especially the possibility to benchmark municipalities. Statistical Denmark also publish statistics on:

• Rates for Child Care
• Recipients of subsidy for private day-care
• Childcare before school start
• Childcare after school start

Coherence - internal

The survey is based on web, phone and personal interviews. Much work is being done to ensure that the information used is consistent and valid when linking them to the relevant registry information in the area. For example, sampling of data is checked manually after data collection.
