Policy and action plan for gender equality

At Statistics Denmark, we are making an effort to attract and retain skilled and dedicated employees and we regard diversity in the composition of employees and management as a strong point. For that reason, we pursue:, Balance in the gender distribution among employees and managers at all levels. , Momentum in the development of talented male and female managers., Equal recruitment and career opportunities for women and men. , Elimination of gender bias in pay structures., Senior management levels, To us, gender equality is about the whole organisation, and we want to fuel a pipeline of talented executives and contribute to the public sector’s recruitment of both male and female executives., Baseline in figures, Male/female ratio in Statistics Denmark, Dec. 2023, Women, Men, The Supervisory Board, 62 per cent  (5), 38 per cent  (3), Senior management levels (The director general and the directors), 33 per cent  (2), 67 per cent  (4), Managers with personnel responsibilities (incl. chief advisers with personnel responsibilities, excl. the senior management level) , 33 per cent  (12), 67 per cent  (24), Employees (excl. managers and senior management level), 52 per cent  (279), 48 per cent  (258), Total, 51 per cent  (293), 49 per cent  (286), In the long term, we are aiming for at least 40 per cent of the under-represented sex on the Supervisory Board as well as the Executive Board. The target figures are based on the Danish act on equal treatment of men and women and apply to 2024-2028., Initiatives, To achieve our objectives, we are working on implementing tangible initiatives in the fields of recruitment and career., Recruitment, We want everyone irrespective of gender, to find our vacant positions attractive and we aim for a recruitment practice that provides equal employment opportunities irrespective of gender. For this purpose, we focus on the following:, We continuously focus on describing vacant positions and Statistics Denmark in a way that appeals to everyone irrespective of gender., We are working on preventing bias in the recruitment process and aim for both sexes to be represented on interview boards, and for at least one person of each sex to be invited for an interview., In collaboration with external experts in the area, we are building knowledge and awareness of the unconscious gender biases, focusing especially on managers, HR staff and others who make decisions about recruitment and career development. , Career, We want equal opportunities for everyone, irrespective of gender, to develop and be promoted in terms of both responsibilities and pay. This applies regardless of the different conditions of life, which may be gender-specific, e.g. in connection with parental leave. To achieve this objective, we support the dialogue on competence development, new assignments, increased responsibility and pay with, among other things, the following initiatives:, In connection with employee appraisal interviews, for example, we focus on making it clear for everyone what talent development opportunities the organisation offers, making it easier for everyone – regardless of gender – to see how they can develop their competences, ambitions and abilities to the benefit of both their personal career and the organisation., Before and after parental leave, we hold parental leave interviews to ensure that the employee returns from leave to assignments of a corresponding nature and complexity and does not experience a setback in his or her career because of the parental leave. In support of the interviews, HR has prepared material for the managers on the rules regarding parental leave as well as an interview guide., Managers, the Executive Board and the Joint Consultation Committee continuously focus on providing clear reasons for appointments and pay rises. It promotes transparency in the decision process and reduces the risk of unconscious gender bias affecting the decisions., We have made an effort to incorporate the continuous work on implementing the actions in the organisation’s existing processes to ensure the most extensive coherence possible with the general staff policy., Data support, We use relevant data and statistics to support our work towards gender equality. For example:, Each year, we prepare a gender equality report showing, for example, the gender distribution of different staff groups and management levels as well as gender-specific earnings statistics, which allows us to regularly assess the extent of the gender equality gap and the effect of initiatives., As part of surveying emotional health in the workplace and employee satisfaction in the organisation, permanent questions are included on gender-specific discrimination, harassment and offending actions. The survey is conducted every two years., Follow-up, The Executive Board regularly follows up on the initiatives and identifies any need to adjust the plan., Every year, the Executive Board and the Joint Consultation Committee discuss the gender equality status based on an annual gender equality report. The discussions lead to the identification of any need for new initiatives., The policy and action plan for gender equality has been approved by Statistics Denmark’s Executive Board.

The current time series goes back to 2008 (quarterly statistics as from the 1st quarter of 2008)., Statistical presentation, The Working Time Accounts produce integrated statistics with consistent time series on employment, jobs, number of hours worked and compensation of employees on an annual and quarterly basis.

Short-term data sources are applied in projecting these levels over the months of the year and in periods for which structural data are not available.

Documentation of statistics: Indices of Average Earnings for the Private Sector (Discontinued)

Contact info, Personal Finances and Welfare , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Indices of Average Earnings for the Private Sector 2019 , Previous versions, Indices of Average Earnings for the Private Sector 2018, Indices of Average Earnings for the Private Sector 2017, Indices of Average Earnings for the Private Sector 2016, Indices of Average Earnings for the Private Sector 2015, Indices of Average Earnings for the Private Sector 2014, The purpose of the index of average earnings is to indicate trends in earnings for different industries in the private sector exclusive of enterprises categorised as public administration or -services (state, regional or municipal). The index of average earnings was first published for the first quarter of 1994 under the name , the index of average earnings in the private sector, . Since then the index has been published based on the Danish Industrial Classification of 1996 (DB96), Danish Industrial Classification of 2003 (DB03) and since the third quarter of 2008 based on the Danish Industrial Classification of 2007 (DB07). Moreover, the index of average earnings replaced the index of hourly earnings for workers in manufacturing industry and the index of monthly earnings for salaried employees in manufacturing industry, which were discontinued at the end of 1997., Statistical presentation, The index of average earnings comprises all employees, salaried employees (white collar employee or officials) and wage-earners (blue collar workers) as well as apprentices and young people under 18 years employed in a business enterprise with 10 or more persons in the private sector. The entire private sector is covered by the indices, including e.g. employees in private schools and private hospitals. Still, the index does not include enterprises belonging to either the agriculture or fisheries industries. In accordance with the nomenclature DB07 (Danish Industrial Classification 2007), the the index is broken down by industry and since the third quarter of 2008 published at the most detailed level according to the 36-grouping in DB07. For a period between the first quarter of 2005 and the second quarter of 2008, the indices were only published at the 10-grouping level., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data are collected from the private enterprises and organisations that are included in the sample and cover the second month of the quarter in question. To start with, a rough search for errors is performed on the data. Then, the change in the average earnings per hour from the previous quarter is calculated for each enterprise. Only enterprises where data exists for both quarters are included in the computations. The average hourly wage per observations in the sample is then weighted to take account of all enterprises in a specific branch of economic activity in the population. A total figure for the average hourly wage and the rate of increase from the last quarter is then calculated for each branch of economic activity. After this the index point and the annual rate of increase is calculated for each branch. Finally the total index point and annual rate of increase is found as a total for all branches., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Private corporations and organisations in Denmark and abroad, and ministries and other public institutions are the most frequent users of the index. The index is especially used in relation to regulation of contracts. In addition to that, the index plays a vital part in the wage negotiations of employees in the public sector., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The accuracy and reliability is mainly affected by two factors. First of all, the index is based on a sample, which in itself cause some uncertainty. Second of all, there is some uncertainty connected to the completeness in the collected data, which is often caused by errors in the way the system is generated for transmission of data. An example of this is a payroll system where the different wage compositions are not correctly linked or reported, and thus give an inaccurate picture of the development of wages. The problem with errors like these is that they tend to be difficult to discover. For example would reporting of a low and wrong value for irregular payments result in too high calculation of wage developments, as the irregular payments could not be separated from the wage component., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The index of average earnings is published approximately 60 days after the end of the quarter in question. The punctuality of the publication is considered high and there has been no delays of any kind during the last years., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The index of average earnings for Corporations and Organizations, replace , the index of average earnings of the private sector, which was last published for the fourth quarter of 2013. The comparability of the two indices is considered to be high. The difference has to do with the new applied delimitations of the sectors, where some of the public owned enterprises, such as Danish Railways (DSB) and some of the municipal owned resource centers, now according to the new delimitations of the sectors belong to “the index of average earnings of Corporations and Organizations”. The new sector delimitations were applied in the indices going back to first quarter of 2013, where it caused a small data breach., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published in the Statbank under , Implicit index of average earnings, ., Read more about accessibility and clarity

Documentation of statistics: The Population

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).
