The statistics have been compiled since 2023 with data from 2022 as the first release of the statistics. The statistics is specifically prepared by Statistics Denmark and, therefore, cannot be directly compared to statistics in other countries.
Comparability - geographical
The statistics is not subject to any EU regulations and cannot be compared to those of other countries.
Comparability over time
In time series tables in the statistical database, the 2023 population of artists is used as the baseline and is maintained throughout the period 2019–2023. This means that variations in the total number of artists are partly due to some not being present in Statistics Denmark’s registers for all years. Caution should therefore be exercised, as younger artists may not have been active in the earlier years, and others are not included because they were not part of the 2023 population.
Coherence - cross domain
The statistics is partially compiled based on statistics from Elevregister3, disbursements from the Ministry of Culture, the population register, the Income Register and personal income register.
Coherence - internal
Consistency in sources is ensured by continuously entering into data delivery agreements with the member organizations under the Council of Danish Artists and organizations responsible for royalty payments
