We answer any enquiry during regular working hours as soon as possible and preferably on the same day. If we are unable to answer the request on the same day, we communicate this., Accessibility, We aim to make it quick and easy to get in touch with the right employee during working hours. Outside working hours, the press can get in touch with the head of communication or the head of press, who will estimate the possibilities for further contact., User focus, We provide the same high level of service to all journalists regardless of the type of media, and we are mindful of the conditions under which journalists operate - including deadlines. We aim to see the potential and relevant stories in what we are working with and communicate clearly with an eye for the receiver., Contact with the press, In principle, all employees can speak to the press about their own area of expertise., Employees of Statistics Denmark do not offer any opinion, we contribute only facts and put them into perspective. Nor do we comment on the data of other institutions., Publication of statistics, Statistics Denmark uses various channels to publish statistics, including tables in Statbank Denmark, the news series ‘Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik’ and different types of publications etc. The planned release time appears from the list of , scheduled releases, . , Statistics Denmark does not release statistics to the media or anyone else prior to the release time – nor in the form of content provided with a clause., Special data extractions, We send supplementary numbers and data extractions to the press free of charge, provided that it is already available in the statistical division or can be obtained within four working hours, and provided that the task in general can be accommodated within the daily work. , Errors and source references, If Statistics Denmark becomes aware of incorrect or misinterpreted mention of our statistics in the press or elsewhere, we contact the relevant media immediately. We also respond if a media uses our statistics without acknowledging Statistics Denmark., Statistics Denmark is independent of political and other interests, and we aim to present our statistics in a neutral way. Sometimes media, researchers or analysts select, combine or present our data in a way that is different from ours. Sometimes they also do graphics work based on our data. As long as the use of the data is not misleading, Statistics Denmark can still be indicated as a source. If there are other sources than Statistics Denmark for e.g. a chart or a table, we want the other sources to be indicated as well., If the media process our data, e.g. by combining new concepts or classifications, it must be stated that the data has been processed, e.g. by writing “Source: Own calculations based on data from Statistics Denmark”. This also applies when researchers or analysts have processed data from Statistics Denmark and receive press coverage., The principles for source references are the same for publicly available data as for data purchased from or compiled via Statistics Denmark., Handling of errors, Occasionally, we make errors or detect omissions in our products. In this event, we correct the statistics immediately and are transparent about it., Competence enhancement, We regularly make presentations to journalists to introduce them to using our statistics. Journalists are welcome to contact us for an introduction., We collaborate with the education programmes in journalism in Odense, Aarhus and Roskilde. We introduce the students to Statistics Denmark in general, how to find stories in the statistics as a journalist and how to avoid common pitfalls.

      55,000 enumerators complete Moroccan Census 2024

      Monday 30 September marked the final day of the 2024 General Census of Population and Housing in Morocco. , 4 October 2024 11:00 , By , Klaus Munch Haagensen, Throughout September, an impressive team of 55,000 enumerators, supervisors, and controllers - easily recognizable by their burgundy-coloured caps - took on the challenging task of gathering crucial data from every household across the country., The census was the seventh of its kind., Data were collected from households across the nation, including urban, rural, and even nomadic populations. The census aimed to gather comprehensive information on the demographic, social, and economic conditions of Morocco’s population. This operation also extended to housing conditions, providing essential data for national development planning., Wide Scope and Participation, The census included all residents within the Kingdom, regardless of nationality or residence status. This included individuals in ordinary households, nomads, the homeless, as well as those residing in institutions like hospitals and prisons. Foreigners living in Morocco were also counted, except for members of the diplomatic corps., To conduct the operation, over 55,000 individuals were mobilized as enumerators, controllers, and supervisors. Participants underwent extensive online and face-to-face training, ensuring that they were well-equipped to handle the intricacies of data collection., The census covered a range of important demographic and socio-economic factors, from household composition and education to health coverage, employment, and access to essential services. A dual questionnaire system was used: a short version for the entire population and a more detailed one for 20% of households., Harnessing Technology for Precision, For the first time, the census utilized advanced technology, including the deployment of 55,000 electronic tablets. These devices, co-financed by the Ministry of National Education, were key to ensuring accurate and timely data collection. The tablets were securely managed, with encryption systems in place to safeguard the collected data., The census also utilized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map the entire country, ensuring that no areas were overlooked. This involved geo-referencing 37,109 census districts and over 4.1 million buildings in urban areas. The mapping work not only facilitated efficient data collection but also provided valuable insights into the spatial distribution of Morocco's population and economic activities., Supporting Development and Strategic Planning, The data gathered through the census will be instrumental in shaping Morocco's future policies. The information will help authorities assess the needs of the population and allocate resources in areas such as education, healthcare, employment, and housing. Additionally, it will contribute to the monitoring of sustainable development goals and the evaluation of public policies at both the national and local levels., The High Commission for Planning, which oversaw the census, emphasized that this massive statistical operation is not just about counting people but also about understanding Morocco’s social fabric. The data will provide critical insights into the country's demographic trends, migration patterns, literacy rates, and languages spoken, helping to guide long-term strategic planning., The budget for the Census 2024 is estimated to MAD 1.46 billion - the equivalent to around 135 million Euro., Transparency and Security, In line with international standards, the census maintained strict confidentiality of personal data. The High Commission for Planning assured the public that the information collected would be used solely for statistical purposes and not for legal or economic enforcement. The use of encrypted systems and secure data transmission methods further guaranteed the protection of respondents' privacy., Looking Forward, Now that data collection has concluded, the next phase involves processing and analyzing the information, with preliminary results expected in the coming months., The 2024 General Population and Housing Census will serve as a foundational tool for planning, allowing the Kingdom to address challenges and opportunities in the future., Statistical cooperation between Morocco and Denmark, For the past five years, Statistics Denmark has collaborated with Morocco's Haut-Commissariat au Plan (HCP), fostering a valuable exchange of best practices in statistics and digitalization. This partnership has involved joint efforts in IT, data management, and data quality improvement. During the census kick-off press conference in August, Moroccan Chief Statistician, His Excellency Minister Lahlimi, emphasized that the success of the highly digitalized RGPH 2024 would not have been possible without this vital cooperation., The collaboration between HCP and Statistics Denmark is financed by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the Strategic Sector Cooperation Programme., You can read more about the project between HCP and Statistics Denmark here: , https://www.dst.dk/en/consulting/projects/morocco-2024-2026,  , Source: This news article is written by Klaus Munch Haagensen based on information from the HCP web site.

      Unemployment concepts

      There are three different unemployment concepts – net unemployment, gross unemployment and LFS unemployment., Statistics Denmark regularly publishes two sets of unemployment statistics, which use different unemployment concepts and consequently result in different unemployment figures. The register-based unemployment statistics, which assess net unemployment and gross unemployment, and the interview-based Labour Force Survey (LFS), which assesses LFS unemployment. , Net unemployment covers recipients of unemployment benefits, cash benefits and student grants who are job-ready and not in job activation. The numbers are converted into ‘full-time equivalent (FTE) unemployed persons’. , In addition to net unemployment, gross unemployment also covers recipients of unemployment benefits, cash benefits and student grants who are job-ready and in job activation, including persons employed with wage subsidies, also converted into ‘FTE unemployed persons’. , LFS unemployment covers persons who indicate in the Labour Force Survey that they were not in employment during the week that the survey took place, , and, that they actively sought employment in the four weeks up to the week in which the survey took place, , and, that they were able to start a job within two weeks. , When to use which unemployment concept, In Denmark, gross unemployment is the most common unemployment concept used in the debate. Gross unemployment (and net unemployment, which is a subset hereof) gives monthly details on unemployment, e.g. at municipal level, broken down by age groups or by unemployment insurance funds. Moreover, gross unemployment is ideal for highlighting the extent of part-time unemployment and for linking with other register variables such as education and country of origin. LFS unemployment is mainly used in international comparisons of unemployment rates and trends in different countries. Furthermore, the LFS can show the extent of unemployed persons who are not entitled to unemployment benefits or cash benefits, or be used to assess the number of persons who want to find a job. , Overview of unemployment concepts,  , LFS unemployment, Net unemployment , Gross unemployment, Based on, QUESTIONNAIRE, (figures from the Labour Force Survey), REGISTERS, (data from STAR - the Danish Agency for Labour Market Recruitment), REGISTERS, (data from STAR - the Danish Agency for Labour Market Recruitment), Is, sample-based questionnaire , survey with 72,000 interviews each year, register-based complete census, register-based complete census, Published, quarterly, monthly, monthly, Unemployed persons, Complies with the international ILO definition:, - are completely jobless and, - are available to take up employment and, - have carried out activities to seek employment, are registered as unemployed recipients of unemployment benefits or job-ready recipients of cash benefits, excl. those in activation, are registered as unemployed recipients of unemployment benefits, incl. those in activation, What is, counted, number of PERSONS, persons converted to FTE PERSONS, persons converted to FTE PERSONS, Time series, in Statbank Denmark , From 2008, From 1979, From 2007, Strengths, - useful in international comparisons, - shows also unemployed persons who are not entitled to unemployment benefits or cash benefits, - shows persons who want to get a job, - shows youth unemployment (15-24-year-old persons), - allows for supplementary questions, - a monthly flash unemployment indicator , - a long time series from 1979, - shows small groups of persons , - shows available hours, - shows breakdown by unemployment benefit funds , - linkage with other register variables, - a monthly flash unemployment indicator , - shows small groups of persons, - shows available hoursr, - shows breakdown by unemployment benefit funds, - linkage with other register variables, Weaknesses, - statistical uncertainty, - high uncertainty for small groups, complies only partly with the ILO definition, as it only covers persons who are entitled to unemployment benefits or cash benefits, complies only partly with the ILO definition, as it only covers persons who are entitled to unemployment benefits or cash benefits,  ,
