Publication: Agriculture and Danish farm returns through 100 years 1916-2015

Since the first farm returns were reported for statistical purposes for the , financial year 1916-17, , Danish agriculture has lived through quite a few things., In the first year of the statistics, World War I implied that the countries at war experienced increased demand for e.g. food. As a result, Denmark, which did not participate in the war, was able to sell agricultural products at high prices. By contrast, it was difficult to export in the years of recession in the 1930s and it was necessary to implement emergency farm aid, e.g. in order to reduce high levels of debt.,      2. World War II boosted the technological development and, in the post-war years, horses were ,      increasingly replaced by engine power., When Denmark became a member of the EEC in 1973, new demands were made on the agricultural accounts in the statistics, which were to conform to the same method as that of the other member countries. With the book , Agriculture and Danish farm returns through 100 years,, Statistics Denmark gives the reader an insight into Danish agriculture and its development, in particular in the 20th century., The publication includes e.g.:, Mechanisation and specialisation of the agricultural sector, which has experienced soaring productivity., Accounting figures for 100 years, which show e.g. the development in gross output, operating costs, economic indicators, capital and debts., The preparation of the statistics has undergone method changes, increased the level of detail and, as a result, it has become more applicable in research., Moreover, the table, JORD100, has been added to Statbank.dk to mark the centennial year for the agricultural accounts., Here you can extract accounting figures for agriculture back to 1916 and up to 2015, , which is the last stated year with accounts statistics for agriculture, (only in Danish).,  , Get as pdf, Agriculture and Danish farm returns through 100 years, Colophone, Agriculture and Danish farm returns through 100 years, Business, ISBN pdf: 978-87-501-2279-1, Released: 28 September 2017 09:00, No of pages: 59, Contact info:, Henrik Bolding Pedersen, Phone: +45 20 57 88 87

Analyses: How big are Danish exports and who are our main trading partners?

In recent decades it has become more common to produce goods across national borders. Increasing globalisation challenges our understanding of what a country's exports encompass and what different statistical measures of exports show., Previously, different export statistics provided a fairly similar picture of Denmark’s exports and trading partners. However, an increasing proportion of Danish exported goods never crosses Danish borders, and that has resulted in increasing differences across the various export statistics. This analysis describes Danish exports and trading partners, based on the different export statistics., Main conclusions:, Danish exports in goods are largest when measured in Denmark’s balance of payments, where the sale of goods that have never crossed Danish borders are included as exports. Today, around a sixth of the total Danish export of goods takes place outside of Danish borders., Only goods which have crossed the Danish border are classified as exports in the international trade in goods statistics which implies that the export of goods appears lower here than in the balance of payments., Exports appear lowest when measured by Danish value added, as these calculations discount the value of the imports included in the production of the exported goods and services. Estimates from an Input-Output model in Statistics Denmark suggest that imported contents in exported goods and services constitute nearly half of the total value. , Regardless of the type of export statistics, Germany is Denmark’s most important export market., On the basis of goods which cross the Danish border, the US is Denmark’s sixth largest export market. When goods sold outside Denmark’s border are taken into account, the US is Denmark’s third largest export market., Looking at the final markets for the part of exports resulting from production in Denmark the US is the second largest export market as measured by Danish value added according to estimates in an OECD international Input-Output model., Get as pdf, How big are Danish exports and who are our main trading partners?, Colophone, How big are Danish exports and who are our main trading partners?, Subject group: Economy, Released: 5 March 2018 08:00, No. 2018:4, ISSN pdf: 2446-0354, Contact:, Mads Møller Liedig, Telephone: +45 40 12 97 72

Analyses: Who uses weight loss medicines in Denmark?

In 2023, 117,500 adults redeemed a prescription for a weight loss medicine. This corresponds to 2.4 per cent of the adult population. Weight loss medicines are mainly targeted at people with a BMI of at least 30, but what else characterises the users?, This analysis takes a closer look at the users of weight loss medicines, with a special focus on users in the first half of 2023. In the analysis, data on redeemed prescriptions is combined with information from Statistics Denmark’s registers. This allows, among other things, to examine the users’ sex, age, income, and municipality of residence.,  , Main conclusions:, The number and proportion of adults who have redeemed at least one prescription for weight loss medicines has increased significantly from 15,200 (0.3 per cent) in 2021 to 27,800 (0.6 per cent) in 2022 and 117,500 (2.4 per cent) in 2023. However, the number is still lower than 25 years ago when 131,100 adults (3.1 per cent) used weight loss medicines., The proportion of users of weight loss medicines is higher for women in all years. In the first half of 2023, 72 per cent of the users were women and 28 per cent were men., The proportion of users was highest in the age group of 50-59-year-olds (3.2 per cent) and lowest in the age group of 80-year-olds and older (0.1 per cent)., The proportion of users of weight loss medicines increases with income. In the first half of 2023, 1.6 per cent of the people in the lowest income quintile used weight loss med-icines, while it was about 3.4 per cent of the people in the highest income quintile - when using the equivalised disposable family income among the 30-59-year-olds., There is a difference in the proportion of users of weight loss medicines across municipalities. The highest proportion of users was in Tårnby (2.9 per cent), while the lowest proportion was in Læsø (0.8 per cent)., Gentofte municipality had the highest proportion of users of weight loss medicines in the first part of 2023 when the proportion is related to people with self-reported obesity in 2021. In Gentofte, there were 24.5 users of weight loss medicines per 100 people liv-ing with obesity, while in Læsø, there were 2.9 users per 100 people living with obesity.,  , The analysis is available in Danish here: , Hvem bruger slankelægemidler?, Get as pdf, Who uses weight loss medicines in Denmark?, Colophone, Who uses weight loss medicines in Denmark?, Subject group: People, Released: 6 May 2024 08:00, No. 2024:3, ISSN pdf: 2446-0354, Contact:, Emilie Rune Hegelund, Telephone: +45 20 56 47 11

Information is given on use of infrastructure and accommodation. Further information is given on the preferred destinations and expenditures concerning the trips. Statistics Denmark has compiled similar surveys in 1972, 1976 and 1980. In 1995, the survey covered only trips with at least four overnight stays for personal purposes. Since 1996, short leisure trips with 1-3 overnight stays and business trips with at least one overnight stay have also been compiled., Statistical presentation, The survey covers leisure and business trips with nights spent as well as same-day visits made by adult Danes aged 15 or older. In broader terms, the survey covers the travel habits of the adult Danish population., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The survey is made on the basis of a randomly selected sample with approx. 6000 interviews in net value (unit nonresponse excluded) among Danish residents aged 15 years+. The sample is then grossed up to the target population (Danish residents aged 15 years+) by using different strata, which refers to groupings based on for instance gender, age, family type, family income and socio group in order to make the sample represent the target population the best way possible. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The survey is used by The European Commission, Danish ministries and business and tourism organizations in the industry in order to monitor the market and develop potential tourism policies. In broader terms, the survey can also be used for educational purposes and as an indicator that tells something about the travel habits and behavior of the Danish population and of the society and the economic situation in general., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The statistics are affected by statistical sampling errors and memory bias, especially regarding the expenditure questions., Due to the sampling method, statistical errors do occur. For the net propensity to undertake a holiday trip the interval made up as the estimated value +/- 2 per cent will contain the true value in 95 per cent of the cases., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics is published annually approx. 7 months after the end of the reference year. The statistics is published according to schedule., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics is mandatory and in coherence with other EU-statistics. The statistics for 1995 and subsequent years are fully comparable. The key figures for the period before 1995 data are generally comparable. Changes were made in the questionnaire in 2008, 2010 and 2017, and the statistic is therefore not comparable over time. , Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published in a Danish press release and in the StatBank under , Holiday and business trips, ., Read more about accessibility and clarity

Selected variables from the 14 tables are merged into a single table that constitutes a longitudinal register, the Barselsdagpenge Register, with a well-defined record structure.

The expectation is that all cases are reported. However, there are a number of cases that will only be reported long after the end of the year to which the case relates, why the last year is not fully updated. In order to get a picture of a parent's year's use of the maternity law, it has been necessary to link several registers and set up an algorithm for calculating the parents' entitlement. There is a risk of programming errors here, just as the algorithm rules are a choice., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, These statistics are published annually three months after the reference year in March-April.

In addition, maternity leave can be calculated in 18 different ways, which is why it requires a good knowledge of the documentation for countries' calculation methods before comparing their figures. At the moment, the statistics cover data for the years 2015-2023, where no data breach has been detected, with the exception that the 1st quarter of 2015 is under-updated, which gives a minor data breach for total counts., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published yearly in a Danish press release, at the same time as tables are updated in the StatBank.
