User Needs
The standardised index of average earnings serves as a deflator, key economic indicator and a contract regulation tool.
The primary users of the statistics are professionals and analysts, where the indices are used as key economic indicators and business cycle indicators for assessing the socio-economic development and for international comparisons. The standardised index of average earnings are also used as a deflator, e.g. by Danish National Accounts, to adjust nominal GDP to real GDP (or GDP at fixed prices).
User Satisfaction
The standardised index of average earnings was developed in response to a demand from several users, including the tripartite statistics committee.
Statistics Denmarks’s Expert commitee for the earnings and absence statistics closely follows the developments in the statistical area and continuously provides input and feedback to the product. The committee consists of stakeholders from labour market parties, ministries and agencies.
The user satisfaction is assessed on a half-year basis during the meetings with the Expert committee.
