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

Commuting statistics viewed as commuting between municipalities can be compiled from 1980 onwards. The distance between home and workplace was first calculated in 2006. The statistics are comparable in its current form from 2008 onwards., Statistical presentation, The statistics provide an annual, individual-based account of employed persons’ commuting between place of residence and workplace on the last working day of November. The distance between commuters’ home and workplace is also calculated in kilometres (km). The commuting statistics are published the StatBank, where the data can be distributed on place of residence, workplace, commuting distance, gender, industry (DB07), and socio-economic status., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The commuting statistic is compiled on the register-based labour force statistic (RAS), which is based on the Labour Market Account (LMA) - a longitudinal register. A comprehensive data validation is done in the production of AMR. RAS is compiled taking a snapshot (on the populations primary attachment to the labour market) on the last working day in November based on LMA. Based on the information about the address of residence and workplace for employed persons the commuting distance is calculated. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistic is relevant for users interested in mobility on the labour market and the data foundation makes it possible to connect detailed information for analysis. , Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The commuting statistics are based on the Register-Based Labour Force Statistics (RAS), which are used to describe the population’s attachment to the labour market. RAS is compiled from a wide range of data sources that are integrated, error-checked, and harmonised within the labour market accounts. RAS is produced as a snapshot at the end of November based LMA. Therefore, RAS does not carry the same level of uncertainty as statistics based on sample surveys., It is also important to be aware that the calculated commuting distance reflects an ideal situation where every person is believed to travel from residence to workplace by the shortest route and by car. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Commuting statistics for commuting between municipalities are published approximately 11 months after the reference date. Commuting distances are published approximately 17 months after the reference date. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics can be compiled from 1980 and are comparable from 2008 onwards. Historically, there have been various data breaks in the RAS statistics, which are described in the statistical documentation for RAS., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, In the StatBank the statistics is published can be found under the subject , Home to work commuting, .

Documentation of statistics: Development in Rents (housing)

Contact info, Prices and Consumption , Martin Sædholm Nielsen , +45 24 49 72 81 , MNE@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Development in Rents (housing) 2022 , Previous versions, Development in Rents (housing) 2021, Development in Rents (housing) 2014, The statistics measure the development in rent (housing). The survey has been carried out since the 1950s. , Statistical presentation, The statistics show the development in rents before and after rent subsidies. The average development in rent before rent subsidies is used for the consumer price index and the average development in rent after rent subsidies is used for the index of net prices., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The rent survey is based on a sample of privately owned rented dwellings, social rental housing and cooperative dwellings. The rent development for the social rental housing is based on administrative data from Landsbyggefonden and thus covers the entire population of social rental housing. Privately owned rented dwellings are covered by a sample of approx. 110,000 (only approx. 85,000 for 1. quarter of 2022) for dwellings out of a population of approx. 500,000 privately owned rented dwellings. Cooperative dwellings are covered by a sample of approx. 600 dwellings. , Social rental housing and private rental housing as well as cooperative housing each amount to almost half of the total rental housing market whereas cooperative dwellings account for approx. 10 per cent., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistic measures the development in rent (housing). , The statistic is primarily used in calculating sub-indices in the consumer price index, the index of net retail prices and the harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP). Development in rent is used as an indicator for price development for rented dwellings and for regulating (indexation) rent contracts.s., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, It is not possible to quantify the uncertainty in the rent survey, as the sample behind is not randomly drawn . However, for social housing, the statistics are based on the population of social housing, which is why there is no uncertainty here. For the private rental homes, the sample consists of approx. 110,000 (only approx. 85,000 for 1. quarter 2022) rental homes out of a population of approx. 500,000 rental housing, so here there is limited sample uncertainty. Cooperative dwellings are covered by a sample of approx. 600 dwellings, so here there is sample uncertainty., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The consumer price index including the rents 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., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics have been compiled in the same way since 1982. The rent survey is directly comparable with similar rent-indices from other countries' EU harmonized consumer price index (HICP)., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, Figures for the rent survey can be found in the statistics bank under group 04.1-2 under resp. the consumer price index, the net price index and the EU Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP)., Read more about accessibility and clarity
