Micro-data access

Annual statistics at the level of CPR are stored electronically as from 1985. The corresponding monthly statistics are available from 1996. For the existing statistics, the new unemployment statistics are compiled backwards to April 2000. With the adjustment of the statistics (at the beginning of 2008), it is now easier to conducted longitudinal analyses at the level of individuals, e.g. analyses of the impact of each individual activation measure. These longitudinal data is available from January 2007 and onwards and consists of the following variables: Personal identification, type of unemployment, start- and end date, hours in unemployment per week and a 0/1-variable indicating if the person is considered to be gross unemployed or not.

Researchers and other analysts from authorized research institutions can be granted access to the underlying microdata by contacting Denmark's Data Portal.
