Micro-data access

For each person participating/receiving public benefits the primary data provides information on personal identification number, type of measure/benefit, date of commencement, date of cessation, hours per week in the measure, type of benefit/placement, etc. Information about unemployment insurance fund, insurance category and number of insured hours is obtained from Statistics Denmark's register of unemployment statistics. From the first quarter of 2007 and onwards these Micro-data are available for researchers through the so-called 'modul data', where the most important variables from the statistics are presented. These data is available for researchers if they at the same time meet Statistics Denmark's general rules of discretion on general politic.

Other

For each person participating/receiving public benefits the primary data provides information on personal identification number, type of measure/benefit, date of commencement, date of cessation, hours per week in the measure, type of benefit/placement, etc. These data is excellent for making custom-made tables for external customers. The prize for these custom-made tables is equal to the amount of time/money used in producing the tables. The reason for this is that Statistics Denmark is obliged to make this kind of services without loosing or earning any money.

Confidentiality - policy

When the statistics on public benefits (16-64 years old) is calculated as a number of full-time participants there is not a lot of problems concerning discretion matters. See also Statistics Denmarks general rules of discretion on general politic.

Confidentiality - data treatment

When the statistics on public benefits (16-64 years old) is calculated as a number of full-time participants there is not a lot of problems concerning discretion matters. That's why we don't use any concrete treatment of discretion matters, however we do make sure that it's not possible to combine to many different variables in each stat bank table. See also Statistics Denmark's general rules of discretion on general politic.
