Documentation of statistics: The Population

Contact info, Population and Education , Dorthe Larsen , +45 23 49 83 26 , DLA@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, The Population 2024 , Previous versions, The Population 2020, The Population 2019, The Population 2017, The Population 2016, The Population 2014, The purpose of the population statistics is to focus on the size, composition and development of the population living in Denmark. The statistics create a basis for a number of analyses on demography and society and are used as a basis for planning tasks on a national, regional and municipal level. In their basic form, the statistics have been compiled since 1769 but have undergone a series of changes as society developed and legislation followed. Most of the present table series in Statbank Denmark comprise data from 2007 and forward, while a few of these go back further., Statistical presentation, The population statistics are usually a quarterly aggregation of the population living in Denmark broken down by e.g. sex, age, ancestry, marital status and municipality of residence. In connection with COVID-19, however, the number of deceased persons was aggregated on a weekly basis broken down by date of death, age bracket and province. The population statistics show the population in figures at the reference date in terms of persons, households and families. The statistics also show changes in the population, such as births, deaths and migrations etc., in the period between the two reference dates. Similarly, the statistics contain information about fertility, life expectancy and divorce rate. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for the statistics is collected on a daily basis from the Civil Registration System (CPR) by means of a system-to-system solution. The civil registration number and the updating of residence information and marital status information etc. is required for a vast number of public services, which serves as continuous validation of the content of the register. The number of immigrants, descendants, households, families, marriages and divorces is assessed on the basis of data from the Civil Registration System. It is also used to calculate e.g. fertility rates, life expectancy and divorce rates. In addition, data is applied from the Birth Register and the Cause of Death Register from the Danish Health Data Authority from which data is collected annually., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, These statistics are relevant for municipalities, regions, ministries, other government organisations and private companies in analyses of a number of conditions of society and as a basis for planning of e.g. schools, roads, facilities and services for the elderly etc. Statistics Denmark also uses the basic data and results of the statistics for a vast number of other assessments., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The statistics are based on the population registered in the Civil Registration System (CPR). Since correct registration in CPR is a condition for being able to lead a normal life in Denmark, the general quality and reliability of the register is regarded as very high. Failure to report immigrations and emigrations means that the published population is considered to be overestimated by 10,000 people or 0.14 per cent., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are usually published one and a half months after the end of the reference period. The statistics are released without delay according to the scheduled dates of publication. The weekly publication of the number of deaths is released five days after the reference week. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Denmark bases its population statistics on an administrative register, which also applies for a few other countries, whereas many countries take censuses every five or ten years. The population figure for the period 1971 and onwards is based on the same source, i.e. the Civil Registration System (CPR). The population figure from before this period is based on censuses., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in “Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik” (in Danish). Figures for the population and its movements are published in Statbank Denmark. In addition, the figures are included in the publications , Befolkningens udvikling, and , Indvandrere i Danmark, (both in Danish with summaries in English).

The accounts are compiled in accordance with the guidelines set out in ESA2010 and are comparable with regional accounts for other European countries. Regional accounts are published at the NUTS II level (regions) and NUTS III level (provinces). Regional accounts have been compiled since 1999., Statistical presentation, Regional accounts describe the geographical dimension of production and income conditions as these are compiled in the national accounts using the production approach. The regional allocation aims at adding production etc. to the region where production takes place. , Regional accounts contain information on GDP, gross value added, gross fixed capital formation, compensation of employees and employment. Moreover the household sector's incomes are compiled. The regional allocation of the household income is based on the residence of the households and not where the incomes are earned., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The statistics are based on regional versions of the national accounts' sources, where this is possible. The main sources are Accounting Statistics for Non-agricultural Private Sector and General Government Finances Statistics. The sources are used either directly or as a distribution key. The regional accounts are revised in line with the publication rhythm of the national accounts. The final figures for the regional accounts are therefore not available until three years after the end of the reference period., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, National and regional accounts are relevant for all, who deal with economic and regional matters., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Regional accounts are subject to the same margins of uncertainty as the annual national accounts and the inaccuracy here relates to the inaccuracy of the various sources used. However, the conceptual consistency and over time uniform adaptation of the sources contribute to reduce the inaccuracy of the national accounts figures. In particular, the combination of the primary sources into a coherent system in many cases reveals errors, which are therefore not reflected in the final national accounts. With regard to the regional dimension the following factors can be mentioned:, Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, First version of regional accounts is published 12 month after the reference year. Final regional accounts are published 3 years after the reference year. Regional accounts have a high degree of punctuality, Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Regional accounts are consistent with the national accounts, as the sum of the figures for each region with respect to each individual variable is equal to the national accounts value for the same variables. Consequently, each variable can be interpreted in the same manner as the national accounts variables. Regional accounts are based on guidelines set out in ESA2010 and are thereby directly comparable with other regional accounts from the EU Member States. Consistent time series are available for 1993 onwards., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published in a Danish press release. In the StatBank, these statistics can be found under , National accounts by region, . For further information, go to the , subject page, ., Regional accounts by 38 industries and 11 provinces/5 regions are available (at a charge). Furthermore regional data can be provided (at a charge) for groups of municipalities with a joint population of at least 100.000 inhabitants.

The consumer price index has been calculated since 1914, but there are estimated figures for the development in consumer prices back to 1872. From January 1967 the index has been calculated on a monthly basis., Statistical presentation, The consumer price index shows the development of prices for goods and services bought by private households in Denmark. Thus, the index also covers foreign households' consumption expenditure in Denmark, but not Danish households' consumption expenditure abroad. The index shows the monthly changes in the costs of buying a fixed basket of goods, the composition of which is made up in accordance with the households' consumption of goods and services. The consumer price indices divided by group of households show the price development for different households. , The price indices for April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December 2020 and January, February, March, April, May and June 2021 are more uncertain than usual, as the non-response rate has been significantly larger than normal and some businesses have been shut down due to COVID-19., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The consumer price index is calculated on the basis of 23,000 prices collected from approx. 1,600 shops, companies and institutions throughout Denmark. Most prices are by far collected monthly. The data material received is examined for errors, both by computer (using the so called HB-method) and manually. The different goods and services, which are included in the consumer price index, are first grouped according to approx. 500 elementary aggregates for which elementary aggregate indices are calculated. The elementary aggregate indices are weighted together into sub-indices that are in turn aggregated into the total consumer price index. In calculating a price index it is assumed that the baskets of goods that are compared are identical, also with respect to the quality of the goods. Mainly indirect quality adjustment methods are being applied in the consumer price index in connection with changes in the sample. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The consumer price index is generally viewed as a reliable statistic based on the views of users., Important users are among others the Ministry of Finance, The Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Interior, The Danish Central Bank and private banks and other financial organizations., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, No calculation has been made of the uncertainty connected with sampling in the consumer price index as the sample is not randomly drawn, but the quality of the consumer price index is accessed to be high., In addition to the "general" uncertainty connected with sampling, there are a number of sources of potential bias in the consumer price index. One source is the consumers substitution between goods and shops and another source is changes in the sample (se chapter regarding "Non-sampling error")., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The consumer price index is published on the 10th or the first working day thereafter, following the month in which the data was collected. , The statistics are published without delay in relation to the scheduled date., The consumer price indices divided by group of households are published twice a year., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The consumer price index is related to the European Union harmonized consumer price index (HICP) and to the index of net retail prices. From January 2001, the only difference between the national consumer price index and the HICP is the coverage of goods and services, as owner-occupied dwellings is only recorded in the consumer price index and not in the HICP. The consumer price index is also related to the index of net retail prices. The two indices comprise the same groups of goods and services and are calculated according to the same methodology. Consequently, the only difference between the two indices is the price concept used, as indirect taxes and VAT are subtracted in the index of net retail prices, and the weighting., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published monthly in a Danish press release and in the StatBank under , Consumer Price Index, ., Read more about accessibility and clarity

This attachment is recorded at the end of November and compiled once a year. The first RAS compilation was made at the end of November 1980., Statistical presentation, RAS is an annual, individual-based compilation that records the population’s attachment to the labour market on the last working day of November. The population’s attachment is divided into three main socio-economic groups: employed, unemployed, and persons outside the labour force. The statistics can be broken down by demographic variables and education, as well as by industry, sector, and municipality of the workplace for employed persons. The data are published in News from Statistics Denmark and in the Statistics Denmark StatBank, and detailed micro-data are made available through Statistics Denmark’s Research Service., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The register-based labor force statistics (RAS) are based on the Labor Market Account (AMR_UN), which is a longitudinal register. When RAS is compiled, a status assessment (in relation to the population's primary attachment to the labor market) is carried out on the last working day of November in the AMR. Based on AMR_UN, it is also possible to perform status assessments on arbitrary days throughout the year., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The register based labour force statistic (RAS) is primarily been used to structural analysis of the labour market, because the statistic has a very detailed level of information. Many external as well as internal users are using the statistic., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, RAS is a register-based compilation that uses many data sources to measure the population's affiliation to the labor market. This means that RAS does not have the same uncertainty as statistics based on samples. RAS consists of a wide range of data sources, which are integrated, checked for errors, and harmonized, making it possible to provide a better picture of the population's connection to the labor market than the individual statistics can., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, From the publication of figures for the end of November 2018 onwards, the release is carried out in two stages. In the first release, persons outside the labor force are grouped together in a single category. This publication takes place approximately 11 months after the reference point. In the second publication, which occurs approximately 15 months after the reference point, persons outside the labor force are divided into different socioeconomic groups., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The first version of the RAS statistics includes the population resident in Denmark as of the 1 January 1981 and its attachment to the labour market at the end of November 1980. The statistic has been compiled once every year since. New and better data foundations and changes in the labour market have however caused a number of data breaks over time, which have influence on the possibility of comparing data over time. Since RAS is based on administrative registers with national distinctive marks, it is very difficult to compare the statistic in an international level. , Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics is published in Statbank Denmark: , Labour market status (RAS), and , Employed persons (RAS), . , For further information go to the subject pages , Labour market status (RAS), and , Employed persons (RAS), ., Read more about accessibility and clarity

The national accounts also include transactions between Denmark and the rest of the world. This set of statistics was first published in 1982. Coherent annual time series are available back to 1995, while quarterly figures are available from the first quarter of 1999 onwards., Statistical presentation, National accounts by sectors provide an overview of the activities and the development of the Danish economy. They contain key indicators such as the gross value added (GDP) and figures for private consumption, investments, exports and imports, earnings and property incomes as well as the profit in six main sectors (non-financial corporations, financial corporations, general government, households, non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH) and the external sector) and productivity in the industries.

When the first estimate for a given period is prepared, it is done before all source data for the period is available. The calculations are based on the structure of the last final national accounts, which is projected with indicators from e.g. the business cycle statistics. When new source data becomes available, it is incorporated in the national accounts at set intervals. Three years after a given period, the national accounts are regarded as final., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The purpose of these statistics is to clarify how income is generated as a result of the productive activity in society, which is then redistributed before it provides a basis for demand for goods and services for consumption and investment.

The field ranges from the financial, economic and fiscal ministries’ use of the national accounts to common interest in knowledge about the trend of the economy. The press is particularly interested in the figures for the household sector. , Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The ability of the national accounts to describe the economic reality accurately depends partly on the uncertainty associated with the sources and partly on the model assumptions guiding their preparation. It is possible to draw up some parts more accurately than others, as better source data is available. The first estimates of national accounts for a period will be more uncertain than the final version, which is released after three years, as revisions are made regularly as new source data becomes available., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The first version of the quarterly sector accounts is released 90 days after the end of the quarter.

Data for both the number of full-time employees and number of people with employee job is seasonally adjusted, broken down by both industry, sector and geography on residence., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Users interested in the social and economic statistics have expressed satisfaction with the quality of the statistics., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The uncertainty in the development of the number of employees is estimated to be less than 1 per cent of the total number of full-time employees, where 1 per cent corresponds to approx. 20,000 full-time employees. As regards more detailed statistics in terms of industry and geographical distribution the uncertainty is much greater. For the monthly statements there has not yet been a systematic quality studies of statistics. Compared to the quarterly statements of full-time employees, there are two factors pulling in opposite directions: on the one hand, the monthly statements are published earlier, leading to increased uncertainty, because fewer reports has been reported at that time. On the other hand, jobs are imputed for periods where the employees for up to 45 days have not received wages, but subsequently returned to the same employer in the calculation of persons with employee jobs, which helps to reduce uncertainty., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The preliminary figures of the monthly statistics are published approx. 52 days after the end of the reference month. These statements are revised every month until final estimates are released in the quarterly statistics., The preliminary employment statistics for employees are published approx. 52 days after the end of the quarter. The revised statement will be published within 3 months after the reference quarter and the final statement 3 months later together with the new preliminary data for the following quarter. There is usually no delay in relation to the scheduled date., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, There are no changes in methodology since these statistics where first introduced. Data are comparable during the whole period., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published monthly in a Danish press release, at the same time as the tables are updated in the StatBank.

The primary data source to these statistics is the Student Register with data from 1970 onwards. In addition, the Qualification Register is used. Since the Student Register is the primary source for information, the Attainment Register gives nearly complete coverage from 1970 onwards. There is, however information before this time coming from The Qualification Register., Statistical presentation, The Attainment Register gathers information about the highest completed education for each single person based on the information in the Student Register and the Qualification Register. It is a longitudinal register based on an assessment of each person's education "career" and shows how the qualification career develops over time. The register is formed by interpreting the qualification career (skills in chronological order) in order to determine a change in the skill level. Once a year a status register is also produced with the population and information about education the 30. September the current year., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The Attainment Register is a longitudinal register based on a assessment of each persons education career in The Student Register and The Qualification Register. It shows how the qualification career develop over time, and it is updated once a year. The status register is produced on the basis of the longitudinal register and contains information about the population and their highest completed education per. September 30 the given year., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, There is a great variety of users. The information is generally used in connection with describing the population or sections hereof. The register is used in connection with status reports for other statistical fields. Data reports are thus submitted for (mainly on the population's highest level of education completed) a wide number of integration registers operated by Statistics Denmark. Furthermore, the register is frequently used in connection with external service activities order by Danish ministries, municipalities, research institutions, professional organization, private enterprises, private individuals and, not least, requests made by the news media., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The Accuracy and reliability vary depending on the source of information. More than 80 pct. of the information comes from administrative sources, such as student systems of educational institutions, which are highly reliable. These sources have priority one when the registry is created and will be used if there is information from one of these sources. Other sources are not so closely linked to the education programs and will often be less reliable. Examples of these sources are the surveys of immigrants' education and the population and housing census in 1970, based on self-reported education. In addition, information is imputed for persons who do not respond in the study of immigrants' education. The imputed data is useful in overall statistical statements, but cannot be considered as valid information on individuals' educational attainment. , In connection with the annual reports from the education institutions there is information which also relate to previous years. These delayed notifications concern particularly the last year., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published around 6 months after the end of the reference time. The statistics are usually published without delay in relation to the scheduled date., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The longitudinal register is produced once a year and the entire period is thus calculated in the same way. Based on the longitudinal register, a status register is produced with the population per. September 30 that year. In the event of significant changes in the way the longitudinal register is produced, the status registers for all years will be reproduced. It happens that an education changes level from one year to the next. Typically, this will not cause a reproduction of all the status registers and therefore affect comparability over time. , Labor force survey provide information too Eurostat about the educational attainment level and this is these figures that are used for international comparison of the attainment level., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, In the StatBank, these statistics can be found under the subject , Educational attainment, .

For these sectors there is immeasurable inaccuracy mainly caused by measuring errors., The private sector is based on a representative sample of about 2600 enterprises. The inaccuracy can be divided into sampling inaccuracy and the immeasurable inaccuracy that derives from measuring errors. The total absence rate for own sickness is determined with a 95 percent confidence interval to vary around +/- 0.05 percent. Sampling errors for divisions on e.g. gender or industry are considerably higher., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics of absence refers to the whole year to which the absence periods belongs The statistics is published on a yearly basis at the end of October following the reference period.
