Economics and employment of the sporting activities

The statistics are based on registry data from the Employment statistics and General Business Statistics for the selected sports industries. Sports consumption is based on the new COICOP2018 nomenclature. Data is validated in source registers, while the statistical trends over time are compared with previous years' levels. No seasonal adjustment or separate imputations are made.

Source data

Revenue, export and import based on data extracts from the General Company Statistics. Salary, jobs and full-time employment is obtained from the Employment statistics, e.g. ERHV1.

The Household Budget Survey is a sample survey in which the number of households makes up 2,200 of Denmark's total approx. 2.6 million private households. The study includes information from three data sources: Accounting, interviews and records. New consumption groups have been introduced for the years 2015-2023 in connection with the transition to a new nomenclature for household consumption COICOP2018. Based on the new consumption groups, new Statbank tables have been produced to showsports consumption. The new calculation of sports consumption can be found in the table IDRFU11.

IDRUDD01 corresponds to a statement of student numbers in sports education. The student numbers are retrieved in the elev3 register from a unique list of full-time education in sports. This has, among other things, been defined on the basis of DISCED-15, Subject area, ongoing education v1.0: 2019, which classifies the main, intermediate and sub-areas that have a close connection to the sports education programs. The list of students can be continuously expanded depending on the addition of new full-time education in sports.

The Student Registre contains information about students in ordinary education that are publicly regulated, i.e. a ministry has set the framework for education through laws and ordinances. Ordinary programs are full-time programs and cover the programs from kindergarten class to research programs at the university level.

The source of sports employment tables is the Labour Market Account (AMR).
