About the Conference

About the Conference, Change is the only constant , or how to make statistics in a world that doesn’t recognize itself, The overall aim of the Nordic Statistical Meeting (NSM) is to bring statisticians and users of official statistics together to discuss best practices and innovations in the field of statistics - and specifically the challenges facing official statistics in the Nordic countries., The role of official statistics is to provide relevant, independent and trustworthy statistics and data services to a wide range of different users about many different topics in the service of democracy, the economy and the well-being of citizens., Against this background, consecutive Nordic Statistical Meetings have addressed user needs, new trends and future challenges for official statistics, shared experience and discussed solutions on many aspects related to the development, production, quality and delivery of official statistics. Often these challenges were related to ‘standing di-lemmas’ like accuracy vs. timeliness, detail vs. confidentiality, demands for new statis-tics vs. requirements for burden reduction, or how to improve quality and efficiency or strengthen innovation. , During the recent decade, new challenges were added: Declining public trust in public service media and the emergence of ‘fake news’ and ‘alternative facts’ make the provision of trustworthy official statistics all the more important. During the same period of time, the world has gone from one major crisis to another: Effects of climate change, refugee flows, the Covid pandemic, Russia’s war against Ukraine, high infla-tion, increasing economic inequality, artificial intelligence and the impact of ‘tech giants’ in the media landscape. What is happening?, How does this affect our work and our ability to deliver on new information needs? How do we ensure comparability and retain the relevance of existing indicators? How do we identify and communicate the relevant signals and stable reference points among all the noise? And where are the new opportunities among all the problems?, In this context, which by some is described as the ‘acceleration society’, the Nordic NSIs are themselves in the midst of significant transformations: New micro data ser-vices to our users are becoming increasingly important; new types of input data sources are utilized; processes are automated; data and production systems move to the Cloud; AI is moving in; the new generation of statisticians are data scientists as much as they are economists or sociologists – and much of the work is done away from the office. , With this backdrop, the overall aim of the NSM2026 is to bring producers and users of official statistics together to discuss trends and innovations in the current mine field for statistics - and specifically challenges facing official statistics in the Nordics. In addition to plenary sessions with keynote speeches, the conference will consist of presentations and discussions of papers on more specific topics in four parallel themes:

This attachment is recorded at the end of November and compiled once a year. The first RAS compilation was made at the end of November 1980., Statistical presentation, RAS is an annual, individual-based compilation that records the population’s attachment to the labour market on the last working day of November. The population’s attachment is divided into three main socio-economic groups: employed, unemployed, and persons outside the labour force. The statistics can be broken down by demographic variables and education, as well as by industry, sector, and municipality of the workplace for employed persons. The data are published in News from Statistics Denmark and in the Statistics Denmark StatBank, and detailed micro-data are made available through Statistics Denmark’s Research Service., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The register-based labor force statistics (RAS) are based on the Labor Market Account (AMR_UN), which is a longitudinal register. When RAS is compiled, a status assessment (in relation to the population's primary attachment to the labor market) is carried out on the last working day of November in the AMR. Based on AMR_UN, it is also possible to perform status assessments on arbitrary days throughout the year., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The register based labour force statistic (RAS) is primarily been used to structural analysis of the labour market, because the statistic has a very detailed level of information. Many external as well as internal users are using the statistic., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, RAS is a register-based compilation that uses many data sources to measure the population's affiliation to the labor market. This means that RAS does not have the same uncertainty as statistics based on samples. RAS consists of a wide range of data sources, which are integrated, checked for errors, and harmonized, making it possible to provide a better picture of the population's connection to the labor market than the individual statistics can., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, From the publication of figures for the end of November 2018 onwards, the release is carried out in two stages. In the first release, persons outside the labor force are grouped together in a single category. This publication takes place approximately 11 months after the reference point. In the second publication, which occurs approximately 15 months after the reference point, persons outside the labor force are divided into different socioeconomic groups., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The first version of the RAS statistics includes the population resident in Denmark as of the 1 January 1981 and its attachment to the labour market at the end of November 1980. The statistic has been compiled once every year since. New and better data foundations and changes in the labour market have however caused a number of data breaks over time, which have influence on the possibility of comparing data over time. Since RAS is based on administrative registers with national distinctive marks, it is very difficult to compare the statistic in an international level. , Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics is published in Statbank Denmark: , Labour market status (RAS), and , Employed persons (RAS), . , For further information go to the subject pages , Labour market status (RAS), and , Employed persons (RAS), ., Read more about accessibility and clarity
