Comparability

Comparability - geographical

International statistics typically cover companies with a minimum of 10 employees.

Comparability over time

When comparing the individual years' censuses, changes in the content of the survey must be taken into account. The survey may include questions from previous years, but also new questions or questions where it has been two years since the question last appeared. The questionnaire is assessed every year in relation to minimizing the respondent burden as much as possible.

Coherence - cross domain

Statistics Denmark also compiles statistics on the population's use of the internet and digitalisation in companies with at least 10 employees. A number of questions in the survey for small enterprises have also been asked in the survey about digitization in companies with at least 10 employees. This concerns, among other things, about internet access, security measures and online sales.

Coherence - internal

A number of controls and validation mechanisms as well as support mechanisms in relation to the reporting person's understanding of questions etc. is built into the digital questionnaire. This concerns, among other things, on filter and routing control (e.g. that no information is provided in fields where the company must not respond).
