Revision and error policy

When a set of statistics is , revised, , an already published value or a figure is changed. This may happen e.g. because new and more reliable source data has become available, because of changes in methods, classifications and definitions or because of error corrections. Revisions are usually planned, and the users are notified in advance., Published statistics and other material must be quality assured when published, but , errors , may occur in figures or related text. When an error is detected, the users are informed, and the error is corrected as soon as possible., Revisions, Revisions are made in accordance with the ESS guidelines on revision policy for PEEIs (Principal European Economic Indicators). This means that revisions comply with harmonised procedures and principles and that revision practices for the individual sets of statistics are put down in writing and disseminated to the users of the statistics., The users are notified in advance of scheduled revisions. This is done in the documentation of statistics and sometimes on Statistics Denmark’s website, e.g. in the scheduled releases., Most revisions occur on a regular basis. This happens when sources required for a set of statistics are not fully available to meet the need for flash estimates. In such cases, , preliminary, statistics may be prepared on the basis of part of the sources to ensure timeliness. When the planned sources are available, the , final, figures are prepared. Macro-economic statistics follow the Harmonised European Revision Policy for Macroeconomic Statistics (HERP), which indicates at what intervals and how soon after the end of the reference period revisions can be made. Revisions thus take place in the statistical systems of all countries., When a set of statistics is seasonally adjusted, it will automatically result in revision of previously released seasonally-adjusted figures when a new period is added. This also happens, even though there are no changes in the historical non-seasonally-adjusted figures. , Some statistics must be consistent with statistics produced outside Statistics Den-mark. In some cases, there may be interim revisions that do not have an end date, and thus do not exist in an actual final form. This is the case with statistics such as the Emission Accounts. , Major revisions, are especially prevalent in macro-economic statistics that follow binding international guidelines (so-called manuals) and are based on a number of different primary statistics; which is the case for national accounts, government finances, balance of payments and working time accounts. An important quality of these sets of statistics is that they are intercorrelated and they describe the economic trend over many years. Since efforts are also made to ensure consistency between primary statistics and macro-statistics, there may be cases where new sources and methods are only partly incorporated in the primary statistics, or where the most user-friendly solution is for any level changes to await a major revision to ensure coherence between primary statistics and macro-statistics. , Another reason for making a major revision is the fact that new international guide-lines and assessment rules have been introduced, which imply major changes. To en-sure coherence between the various statistical systems, major revisions in the national accounts, government finances, balance of payments and working time accounts are carried out in accordance with a common schedule, of which users and stakeholders are notified as soon as possible. , The major revisions are carried out years apart and also change what is referred to above as final figures. For macro-economic statistics e.g., major revisions must be carried out every five years according HERP. , Statistics Denmark is continuously improving the statistical production to give the best possible account of the situation in society. For that reason, changes may occur in classifications, data sources and methods, where a revision of the statistics is deemed necessary, even though it is beyond both the regular revisions and major revisions. However, the users will always be notified of these changes., In connection with revisions, it must be ensured that:, Period and scope of the basis for revisions are determined and coordinated with the remaining statistical production., It appears from the documentation of statistics that regular revisions take place, and it is described when the statistics will be released in revised and fi-nal form. It also appears from the documentation of statistics if seasonal adjustments are made., For statistics that are subject to regular revisions, it appears from the news series “Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik” (in Danish only) and other publications when preliminary figures are concerned. , Analyses are made of the revisions to continuously improve the calculations of the preliminary figures. E.g. the size of revisions is examined and whether they are in a particular direction., The scope and any causes of revisions are described in both the documentation of statistics and “Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik”., Revisions are discussed with the users on a regular basis., In case of an unscheduled revision, changes will be described in the related documentation of statistics, and users will be notified, when this is deemed necessary., For some sets of statistics, Statbank Denmark has version tables showing the step by step changes in released figures., Errors, Errors in the released statistics may be caused by errors in data deliveries from external sources or reporting from enterprises, but they may also be caused by errors in Statistics Denmark’s data processing or dissemination., In both cases, Statistics Denmark will correct the error as soon as possible. We examine which releases, data, statistics and periods that are affected, what caused the error, and how it can be corrected. Once the error has been corrected, the users whom we know have used the release will be notified as soon as possible. In a few cases, it may be necessary to give notice of the error before it is corrected., Error corrections in figures or text will be marked and described in the following way:, Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik:, Corrections are made in the latest version., The error will be described, and the correction will be inserted in red., A date will indicate when the correction was made., Subscribers to the news series will receive an email describing the error., Statbank Denmark tables:, Tables in Statbank Denmark can be closed temporarily, if this is deemed nec-essary., All periods affected will be corrected as soon as possible – preferably on the same day as the error is found., The error will be described in the table footnote., An email is sent giving notice of the error to users who have a user profile in Statbank Denmark., Subject pages:, When data have been corrected in Statbank Denmark, the relevant subject page will also be updated., Publications, Statistics Denmark analyses, news articles:, Only the digital version will be changed (publications)., Only the latest version will be changed (publications)., The error will be described, and the correction will be inserted in red., A date indicates when the correction was made., Subscribers to the news series will receive an email describing the error., Press releases:, If there are errors in a press release, an estimate will always be made of the scope and timeliness of the error as well as whether important principal conclusions are affected by it. If it is deemed necessary, a new notification will be distributed from which it appears that a correction is concerned. The corrected version will be published via Ritzau., Facebook and LinkedIn:, Posts on Facebook and LinkedIn will not be deleted, instead the text in the post will be changed (Facebook and LinkedIn)., From the beginning of the post or thread, it will appear that it has been changed, and the reason for the change will be described (Facebook and LinkedIn).,

Quality in official statistics

Several factors characterise the quality of official statistics even if it is often accuracy that is focused on when talking about quality - that is, how precisely the statistics describe reality. For the users, however, it is also important that the statistics are relevant so that they describe the phenomenon the user is interested in. The statistics must also be timely enough for it to be a basis for decisions, and it must therefore not take too long before it is published. Time series that describe the development in an area and are comparable to similar developments in other countries are often important. For the users, the statistics must also be accessible – readily available, easy to locate and presented through formats that enable understanding.,  , What is official statistics?, Statistics contribute to decisions at all levels in Danish society being made on the basis of credible and objective information - everything from government policy and research to the actions of private companies and the everyday choices of individuals. A prerequisite for this, however, is that there are standards that ensure that the statistics are credible and objective. To address this issue, the concept of ‘Official Statistics’ has been introduced in the Act on Statistics Denmark. The act stipulates that statistics that are publicly produced and that meet a number of quality criteria can be called official statistics. For all public authorities that produce statistics, guidelines for official statistics have been prepared, which are described in more detail on the , Official Statistics Portal,  (in Danish only).,  , Common quality framework, European Statistics Code of Practice, The European Statistics Code of Practice is the cornerstone of the common framework for the quality of European Statistics. The Code of Practice consists of 16 principles covering institutional environment, statistical processes and statistical output. The Code of Practice was adopted in 2005 and revised in 2011 and 2017., The Code of Practice is designed to strengthen confidence in the European Statistical System and to ensure that all producers of official statistics in the EU apply the best international statistical principles and methods., European Statistics Code of Practice (pdf), In support of the Code of Practice, a Quality Assurance Framework has been developed. This supports the quality requirements and provides advice on methods, tools and practices that can be useful in implementing measures to be able to comply the Code of Practice., Quality Assurance Framework of the European Statistical System (pdf),  , UN’s Fundamental Principles, UN’s Fundamental Principles for Official statistics, Principle 1. Official statistics provide an indispensable element in the information system of a democratic society, serving the Government, the economy and the public with data about the economic, demographic, social and environmental situation. To this end, official statistics that meet the test of practical utility are to be compiled and made available on an impartial basis by official statistical agencies to honour citizens’ entitlement to public information. , Principle 2. To retain trust in official statistics, the statistical agencies need to decide according to strictly professional considerations, including scientific principles and professional ethics, on the methods and procedures for the collection, processing, storage and presentation of statistical data. , Principle 3. To facilitate a correct interpretation of the data, the statistical agencies are to present information according to scientific standards on the sources, methods and procedures of the statistics. , Principle 4. The statistical agencies are entitled to comment on erroneous interpretation and misuse of statistics., Principle 5. Data for statistical purposes may be drawn from all types of sources, be they statistical surveys or administrative records. Statistical agencies are to choose the source with regard to quality, timeliness, costs and the burden on respondents. , Principle 6. Individual data collected by statistical agencies for statistical compilation, whether they refer to natural or legal persons, are to be strictly confidential and used exclusively for statistical purposes. , Principle 7. The laws, regulations and measures under which the statistical systems operate are to be made public. , Principle 8. Coordination among statistical agencies within countries is essential to achieve consistency and efficiency in the statistical system. , Principle 9. The use by statistical agencies in each country of international concepts, classifications and methods promotes the consistency and efficiency of statistical systems at all official levels. , Principle 10. Bilateral and multilateral cooperation in statistics contributes to the improvement of systems of official statistics in all countries.,  ,  , European quality evaluation – ESS peer review , Evaluations and reviews of Statistics Denmark, including international evaluations, are carried out at regular intervals, for example, ESS peer reviews. The purpose of peer reviews is to evaluate whether the EU Member States and EFTA-countries comply with the 16 basic principles of official statistics as set out in the Code of Conduct for European Statistics. In addition, coordination within the national statistical system as well as integration in relation to the ESS is evaluated., In the spring of 2022, Denmark was last assessed by a European expert team. The European team of experts, organized by Eurostat, made their assessment of the production of statistics through documentation and self-assessment. The expert team had dialogues with Statistics Denmark, other national producers of European statistics, the media and other users of European statistics as well as representatives of suppliers of data for statistical production. The other producers of European statistics that also were assessed were the Danish Energy Agency, the Danish Environmental Protection Agency and the Danish Immigration Service. As a result of the peer review, the expert team has delivered recommendations that can contribute to improving the quality of official statistics in Denmark., Peer review report 2022 (pdf), Follow-up on the European Peer Review 2022, In the spring of 2022, Statistics Denmark was last assessed by a team of European experts in a peer review. Following the peer review, a report is prepared with recommendations for improvements. Statistics Denmark has, in response to these recommendations, developed a series of improvement actions, which we will work to implement towards 2027. Our improvement actions can be found in the document below., The improvement actions were formulated at the end of 2022, but has not been published before November 2024, as a prolonged harmonization process in Eurostat has delayed the process. In some areas, this delay could result in processes being initiated that are not described in our improvement actions, or that some measures has lost their relevance and timeliness., Follow up on peer review - improvement action (pdf),  , Two rounds of peer reviews have previously been conducted - in 2007 and in 2015:, Peer review report 2015 (pdf), Peer review report 2007 (pdf),  ,

Documentation of statistics: Persons below the state pension age on public benefits

Contact info, Labour Market, Social Statistics , Mikkel Zimmermann , +45 51 44 98 37 , MZI@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Persons below the state pension age on public benefits 2025 , Previous versions, Persons below the state pension age on public benefits 2024, Persons below the state pension age on public benefits 2022, Persons below the state pension age on public benefits 2020, Persons below the state pension age on public benefits 2019, People Receiving Public Benefits (16-64-years-old) 2018, People Receiving Public Benefits (16-64-years-old) 2017, People Receiving Public Benefits (16-64-years-old) 2015, People Receiving Public Benefits (16-64-years-old) 2014, The purpose of the statistics is to show trends in average/full-time participation in labour market policy measures. Based on a report prepared by the activation statistics committee (report no. 1259) the first statistics were compiled as from the first quarter of 1994. The reason for setting up the committee was that the Danish statistics at that time were unable to provide reliable data on the wide variety of municipal activation schemes. The committee's work was performed over the period December 1992 to October 1993. Since 1994 new measures have been introduced and others have ceased. As from the third quarter of 1999 the number of persons working in flex- and sheltered jobs are published concurrently with the labour market policy measures. Persons participating in activation according to the job integration act were included from the first quarter of 2000. As from the third quarter of 2003, and with effect in the publications as from the first quarter of 2004, a number of changes to the codes/names were undertaken due to a political reform that meant the introduction of new activation schemes, whereas other schemes ceased to exist. From 2007 the statistics is extended with persons on early retirement pay, sickness benefit, maternity leave and from 2008 it is extended furthermore with young people in ordinary education ('SU-modtagere')., Statistical presentation, The statistics provide data on trends in the average number of participants (beneath their state pension age) with public benefits, analyzed by labour market policy measure. The activities take place within the following main groups: Unemployed, persons in supported employment, leave, education/training, other activation, integration allowance, sickness benefit and different kinds of early retirement pay. The figure on average number of participants (full-time participants), is a volume measurement. The figures is comparable with the average number of full-time unemployed in the unemployment statistics., From June 2022 the statistics is extended to include persons receiving 'Early Pension", 'Senior Pension' and 'Adult apprenticeship support'. From March 2025 and again from September 2025 the statistics on sickness benefit recipients is changed., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, All data necessary for the statistics is collected from administrative registers. The data is collected through SAS-files and FTP-servers. When the data files are collected we make a preliminary validation of each file. Afterwards the data is loaded in the database (PSD) on a uniform format. After that illegal overlapping time periods where the same person is receiving different conflicting public benefits are eliminated before the total data amount is transmitted into a 'production database' from where the statistics is published., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, 'Users': Municipalities, regions, ministries, organizations and the media. 'Fields of application': Public labour market surveillance. There has not been any actual 'satisfaction-examination' carried out, but the general use of the statistics, media, has always been considerable, and the statistics is expected to be an important part of the future 'Labour market account' (AMR), which is going to be released in the spring 2015., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, All data necessary for the statistics is collected from administrative registers. The statistics cover the population aged 16-64 who is receiving some sort of public benefits. Conflicting and erroneous information about each individual person may frequently occur as the statistics are compiled from a variety of administrative registers. Examples are a person who is regarded as both a recipient of cash benefits and as a person entitled to claim unemployment benefits, or a person participating in several activation schemes at the same time, which exceed 37 hours per week, or a person participating in the same activation over an unrealistic long period of time. The main reason for these errors is that the respondents fail to update the existing data as soon as new data is available. Error correction is some times undertaken by Statistics Denmark on the basis of logical requirements and some times by the respondents themselves. However, the best possible solution is for error correction to be undertaken by the respondents themselves. The municipalities report data on persons entitled to claim cash benefits and similar allowances in various ways. Currently there is no estimates/numbers available on the total statistical errors., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The quarterly statistics is published roughly 80 days after the end of the reference quarter and the yearly statistics is published roughly 100 days after the end of the reference year. The exact release dates are advertised a year ahead., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The current statistics on persons receiving public benefits covers in general the time period from the 1. of January 2007 and onwards. Persons receiving ordinary education (SU-modtagere) is only included from the 1. of January 2008 and onwards. From 2006 to 2007 there are some differences in the covering and in the concepts. However, some time series in the stat bank starts back in the first quarter of 1994. The general comparability is reduced by the many changes in the measures over time. When the statistics is based on a number of national administrative registers it is obviously very difficult to make any international comparisons. However, Eurostat has tried to make some international comparisons in the area of participants/expenditures on some sorts of public benefits through their Labour Market Policy (LMP)-database., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published in a Danish press release and in the StatBank under , Persons below the state pension age on public benefits, .

User roles

The relevant employees in a research project must be created as users in Denmark’s Data Portal. You have different options when using Denmark’s Data Portal, depending on which user role your institution assigned to you. Below you can read which rights the different roles have. In Denmark’s Data Portal, you can see your role under ‘My overview’ next to your institution. If a specific role has not been indicated, you are a ‘User’., There are seven different roles in Denmark’s Data Portal:, Responsible for authorisation, Substitute, Administrator, Contact person with powers, Signatory, Contact person, User, Below you can read which rights the different roles have. You can also read more about how the roles are assigned.,  , What can the different roles do? , Responsible for authorisation, This role is responsible for the institution’s authorisation under microdata schemes with Statistics Denmark and approves association agreements under the authorisation. The person responsible for authorisation is legally responsible for the users associated with the institution complying with the current guidelines for use of data. This person is the only one who can assign the roles as substitute, administrator and signatory. See how under ’How to assign roles?’ below., Substitute, A user who can approve association agreements on behalf of the person responsible for authorisation. It is highly recommended that you appoint one or more substitutes. In the dropdown menu ‘Assigning roles’ below, you can read how to select substitutes in Denmark’s Data Portal. Note that the person responsible for authorisation cannot be his/her own substitute., Administrator, It is the institution administrator who must approve and submit all of the institution’s project proposals to Statistics Denmark via Denmark’s Data Portal. The administrator works as an internal approver, whenever a project proposal is to be submitted or resubmitted. The administrator is thus charged with quality assuring the content of the project proposals from the institution, making sure that the proposals meet requirements to form and GDPR. This means that an administrator should be available and is expected to be a regular user of Denmark’s Data Portal., The administrator must contact Research Services if the institution wishes to have a new user created. An institution must have at least one administrator, and we recommended that you appoint at least two administrators. This is because some tasks in Denmark’s Data Portal can only be carried out by an administrator, and because a given administrator is not allowed to administer him- or herself. It is possible to appoint up to 10 administrators in one institution., Contact person with power, An institution can choose that a contact person can have powers corresponding to those of an administrator on the projects for which the user is a contact person. If a contact person has powers, the role is delimited to the institutions that the user is associated with. If you - as the person responsible for authorisation - want this solution for a user, you must contact Research Services., Signatory, On behalf of the institution, persons with the signatory role can sign to pledge that a project proposal is conforming to Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation. , When your project proposal has been approved, an employee in Research Services will sign it. After that, the person who submitted the proposal, i.e. the contact person for the project, the administrator or the contact person with powers, as well as the chosen signatory will receive an email with information indicating that the project proposal has been approved and signed. Subsequently, you need to sign the project proposal. Only users who have been assigned the role of signatory can sign project proposals., The role as signatory is assigned by the person responsible for authorisation or a substitute. Remember that it is a requirement that people with a signatory role are formally employed by the institution where they have the signatory role. There is no limit on the number of signatories. , Contact person, A user with access to a project has the role as contact person for the project. The contact person has the dialogue with Research Services regarding the project proposal. A project can only have one contact person. Administrator can change the project contact person., User, This is the basic role for users. The role gives access to information on the entities with which the user is associated, and the user can edit his or her own information. When a user is associated with a project in Denmark’s Data Portal, he or she also gets access to the project data on the researcher machine. Contact an administrator or the person responsible for authorisation, if you want to be created as a user under an authorised institution., Project owner at Statistics Denmark, When you submit a project to us, we will assign a project owner in Research Services to you with whom you will have direct contact. We do our best to answer your enquiry as soon as possible. , See the average response times under Contact Research Services, Who can edit user information in Denmark’s Data Portal?, The individual user can update his or her own user information in Denmark’s Data Portal. This could be relevant, e.g. if a user changes workplace and therefore wants to update his or her email address., If an association agreement must be terminated, this must either be done by the user him- or herself, the institution administrator, the person responsible for authorisation or a substitute hereof. In our , video guides, , you can see the respective tasks and responsibilities of a user, an administrator and a person responsible for authorisation in Denmark’s Data Portal. , How to assign roles, The person responsible for authorisation at the institution is the only one who can assign the roles as substitute, administrator and signatory., To do so, you must as the person responsible for authorisation log into Denmark’s Data Portal and select ‘My overview’. Click the institution where you are responsible for authorisation, and then click the three dots to the right of the institution name. If you want to assign/discontinue the role as administrator, you must click ‘Administration of administrators’. If you want to assign/discontinue the role as substitute, you must click ‘Administration of substitutes’, etc. Now a list appears of all users associated with the institution. Click ’Select’ next to the user you want to make either a substitute, an administrator or a signatory., The administrators of the institution can create new association agreements for the institution and attach users to projects., See table of the rights of user roles in Denmark’s Data Portal (pdf, in Danish)

Documentation of statistics: Road Traffic Accidents

The statistics on road traffic accidents originate from 1 January 1930. The source of the statistics has until 1 January 2003 been the temporary and final reports from the police. From this date Statistics Denmark only receives an annual extract from the Road Directory with the police's final reports. Apart from this, the most fundamental alterations that have been introduced concern the classification of accidents, the scope of the statistics and the actual reporting procedures., Until 1938, the classification of accidents was not unambiguous. From 1938 to 1966, accidents were categorized according to the main cause of the accident, which was determined by a legal judgement. From 1967 onwards, this judgement has been replaced by a classification of the accident, which is not based on the concept of blame, but on the actual description of the circumstances surrounding the accident., From 1930 to 1958, the statistics included accidents resulting in personal injury as well as damage to property. Since 1958, accidents involving only damage to property are no longer covered by the statistics, and from 1967 accidents involving only pedestrians are no longer covered either, whether the accident resulted in a casualty or not., Up until and including 1975, the police reports were sent straight to Statistics Denmark. In 1976, the reporting system was expanded, so that the highway authorities in counties and municipalities take part in the reporting by locating the accidents. As from November 1997 and up to and including April 2000, a new system of computerized reporting was gradually introduced in the police., Since 1 January 2003 the police reports have been sent to the Road Directorate from whom Statistics Denmark receives an annual extract., Statistical presentation, The statistics on road traffic accidents illustrate the extent and the nature of all accidents involving casualties, who are known by the police. The information on road traffic accidents is classified into three main groups: information about the accident, information about the element (vehicles, pedestrians and obstacles) and information about the person., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Annual extract from the Road Directorate, Road Accident Information System with information for all accidents with injured., The data is checked for errors. Only few corrections is made. No seasonally adjustment is made., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, National users: Ministries (primarily the Ministry of Traffic), the police districts, the highway authorities in counties and municipalities, organizations, research centers, the education system and private persons., Eurostat: The register is made anonymous and sent to Eurostat, as input for the Community Database on Accidents on the Roads in Europe (CARE)., Area of application: Local and central planning aimed at reducing road traffic accidents, education, research and public debate., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, A general problem concerning the road traffic accident statistics is that they do not include accidents involving casualties, which are not reported to the police. The severity of the accident and the mode of transport are factors, which influence whether the police are involved. Examinations - pooling with the Register of Causes of Death and with registries of casualty award visits and hospital admissions caused by road traffic accidents - have proven that almost all accidents involving deaths are reported. Accidents involving serious personal injury are more frequently reported than accidents involving only slight injuries. Furthermore, accidents involving cars are more frequently reported than accidents involving bicycles and mopeds. In average only 20 per cent of the casualties come to the knowledge of the police. Results of the pooling with registries of casualty award visits can be found in the table MOERKE in , Statbank, ., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are usually published without delay in relation to the scheduled date - ult. June after the year after., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, These include changes in the registration of road traffic accidents resulting in inconsistencies of data as well as the introduction of new variables. Since 1958, accidents involving only damage to property have been omitted from the statistics. In January 1967, the definition of road traffic accident involving casualties was changed to include only accidents involving at least one vehicle. This leaves out accidents involving only pedestrians. From January 1967, the classification of accidents according to main and secondary causes was changed to a classification according to the accident situation, based on an objective evaluation of the course of events leading up to the accident. In January 1981, the definition of slightly injured was changed. Minor bruises, scrapes and the like are no longer considered as slight injuries. In January 1983, the structure and contents of the statistical system were changed. New parameters - e.g., cycle paths, collision point, maneuver concerning the element record, and on driving license and moped license - were introduced. From January 1997, individuals who are admitted to hospital for observation due to concussion should be registered as slightly injured in cases where the diagnosis does not turn out to be concussion of the brain., Legal changes, such as the introduction of and changes to speed limits and limits for level of alcohol in the blood, and requirements concerning the use of seat belts, helmets, child seats, lights, etc., can influence the overall development in the road traffic accident statistics., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, Statistics appear in:, News from Statistics Denmark., Annual publications: , Statistical Yearbook, Statistical 10-Year Review, and , Færdselsuheld, (Road Traffic Accidents)., Statbank, .Transport, Traffic accidents: UHELD1, UHELDK1, UHELD2, UHELDK2, UHELD3, UHELD4, UHELD5, UHELD6, UHELD7, UHELDK7, UHELD8, UHELD9, UHELD10, UHELD11, UHELD12, UHELD13, MOERKE., Read more about accessibility and clarity

The LFS gives insight into how many people are employed, unemployed or outside the labour force (economically inactive). The LFS also manages to measure information like how many people are working part time; how many hours men in their 30s or 40s usually work; or how many elderly people outside the labour market would like to have a job. The LFS has been conducted yearly since 1984, and from 1994 the survey has been conducted continuously throughout the year., Statistical presentation, The Labor Force Survey is a quarterly sample-based interview survey on the Danish population between 15 and 89 years. The survey sheds light on how many are employed, unemployed (LFS unemployed) or outside the labor force. The survey provides detailed data on e.g. hours worked, conditions of employment, job search, education by regions, age and sex. Consequently the survey can, among other things, estimate the number of employed people who work at home regularly; how many self-employed people who work during weekends; or how many people have have a part-time job. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The Labour Force Survey is the most comprehensive continuous survey in Denmark based on approx. 72,000 participants on an annual basis. The interviews are conducted by online interview or telephone. The survey is based on a stratified sample of the population. In drawing the sample administrative resources are used to obtain various background information on the people interviewed. The sample is weighted to measure the entire population in Denmark., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The Danish Labour Force Survey (LFS) is the contribution to the European LFS and data are delivered quarterly to the European Statistical office., Labour Force Surveys are carried out in every European country as well as in many other countries around the world following common concepts and guidelines. This makes the Labour Force Survey the best Danish survey for international comparisons on labour market statistics., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The Labor Force Survey (LFS) has a relatively large sample and there are continuous improvements in enumeration methods. This provides reliable statistics for the population's connection to the labor market, although there is uncertainty linked to the selection of the sample and the structure of the non-response., In Q1 2016, the response rate was exceptionally low, creating greater uncertainty about the figures. Furthermore, web interview (CAWI) has been introduced as a new data collection method. The two factors created breaks in the time series. The breaks are corrected on the main series., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The Labour Force Survey is published 1.5 months after the end of a reference period and usually without delay in relation to the scheduled date., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The Labor Force Survey (LFS) has been conducted since 1994 and tables can be found at StatBank Denmark from 1996 onwards. A new enumeration method has been introduced, where the sources only go back to 2008. The new series therefore only go back to 2008 in comparable form. LFS is made according to the same guidelines in all EU countries and several other countries and is therefore well suited for international comparisons., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published quarterly and yearly in a Danish press release.
