Sickness benefits

Sickness benefit statistics tell us how many man-years Danish society loses due to long-term illness and how long it will take the long-term sick person to return to the labour market if he or she returns.

User Needs

The data is used as a factual basis for public planning, research and debate. As sick leave during the employer period is paid for by the employer, there is no payment of sick pay during the employer period (except if the employer has an agreement or insurance), which means that the statistics say nothing about short-term sick leave.

User Satisfaction

As sick leave during the employer period is paid for by the employer, there is no payment of sick pay during the employer period (except if the employer has an agreement or insurance). This means that the statistics do not say anything about total sickness absence, (long-term and short-term sickness) and this is probably the user need.

Data completeness rate
