    Documentation of statistics: The Population

    Contact info, Population and Education , Dorthe Larsen , +45 23 49 83 26 , DLA@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, The Population 2024 , Previous versions, The Population 2020, The Population 2019, The Population 2017, The Population 2016, The Population 2014, The purpose of the population statistics is to focus on the size, composition and development of the population living in Denmark. The statistics create a basis for a number of analyses on demography and society and are used as a basis for planning tasks on a national, regional and municipal level. In their basic form, the statistics have been compiled since 1769 but have undergone a series of changes as society developed and legislation followed. Most of the present table series in Statbank Denmark comprise data from 2007 and forward, while a few of these go back further., Statistical presentation, The population statistics are usually a quarterly aggregation of the population living in Denmark broken down by e.g. sex, age, ancestry, marital status and municipality of residence. In connection with COVID-19, however, the number of deceased persons was aggregated on a weekly basis broken down by date of death, age bracket and province. The population statistics show the population in figures at the reference date in terms of persons, households and families. The statistics also show changes in the population, such as births, deaths and migrations etc., in the period between the two reference dates. Similarly, the statistics contain information about fertility, life expectancy and divorce rate. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for the statistics is collected on a daily basis from the Civil Registration System (CPR) by means of a system-to-system solution. The civil registration number and the updating of residence information and marital status information etc. is required for a vast number of public services, which serves as continuous validation of the content of the register. The number of immigrants, descendants, households, families, marriages and divorces is assessed on the basis of data from the Civil Registration System. It is also used to calculate e.g. fertility rates, life expectancy and divorce rates. In addition, data is applied from the Birth Register and the Cause of Death Register from the Danish Health Data Authority from which data is collected annually., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, These statistics are relevant for municipalities, regions, ministries, other government organisations and private companies in analyses of a number of conditions of society and as a basis for planning of e.g. schools, roads, facilities and services for the elderly etc. Statistics Denmark also uses the basic data and results of the statistics for a vast number of other assessments., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The statistics are based on the population registered in the Civil Registration System (CPR). Since correct registration in CPR is a condition for being able to lead a normal life in Denmark, the general quality and reliability of the register is regarded as very high. Failure to report immigrations and emigrations means that the published population is considered to be overestimated by 10,000 people or 0.14 per cent., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are usually published one and a half months after the end of the reference period. The statistics are released without delay according to the scheduled dates of publication. The weekly publication of the number of deaths is released five days after the reference week. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Denmark bases its population statistics on an administrative register, which also applies for a few other countries, whereas many countries take censuses every five or ten years. The population figure for the period 1971 and onwards is based on the same source, i.e. the Civil Registration System (CPR). The population figure from before this period is based on censuses., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in “Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik” (in Danish). Figures for the population and its movements are published in Statbank Denmark. In addition, the figures are included in the publications , Befolkningens udvikling, and , Indvandrere i Danmark, (both in Danish with summaries in English).

Absence is divided into "Own sickness", "Children's sickness", "Occupational injury" and "Maternity and adoption leave". The statistics are published on a yearly basis and are used for estimating and comparing the level of absence within different groups of employees., Statistical presentation, The statistics of absence are published yearly for the governmental sector, the local governmental sector and the private sector. Statistics according to the new sector definition from 2013 are also published for the labour market as a whole. The absence is grouped by the variables occupation, education, industry, region, age and sex. From 2013 own sickness is published by lengths of period. In the governmental and municipal sector all employees are included while the private sector is described by a representative sample of enterprises with 10 or more employees., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, On a yearly bases information on absence is collected from all of the public sector and from a sample 2600 private enterprises with 10 or more employees. After validating the absence data the periods of absence are connected to the job from which the person was absent. The information about the extent of the employment is found in the earnings statistics. The information on absence from the private sector is enumerated to the total population of enterprises with 10 employees or more., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Absence has both personal and economic consequences that have an impact on both employees, employers and the community. The statistics are tools used in estimating and comparing the level of absence within different groups of employees, and can be a foundation on which economic and political decisions are made. The statistics are of interest for the central government, municipalities and regions, private business enterprises, non-governmental organizations, researchers and news media. , Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The governmental and local government sector in principle include all employed persons. For these sectors there is immeasurable inaccuracy mainly caused by measuring errors., The private sector is based on a representative sample of about 2600 enterprises. The inaccuracy can be divided into sampling inaccuracy and the immeasurable inaccuracy that derives from measuring errors. The total absence rate for own sickness is determined with a 95 percent confidence interval to vary around +/- 0.05 percent. Sampling errors for divisions on e.g. gender or industry are considerably higher., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics of absence refers to the whole year to which the absence periods belongs The statistics is published on a yearly basis at the end of October following the reference period. The information is published without delay compared to schedule., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics of absence for the central governmental sector covers the year 2003 and forward, while the first data for the local governmental sector was published for the year 2005. The statistics for the private sector covers the period from 2007 and forward. From 2010 the municipality sector and the regional sector are published separately. Before 2010 the two sectors were only published together., The method and quality of data have continuously been improved especially the first years of the statistics. Comparisons between sectors and years (especially the earliest published data) should only be made with reservations., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The latest results are published once a year in a Danish press release, at the same time as tables are updated in the StatBank.

Manufacturers' sales of goods is the source for Danish Prodcom statistics, regulated by and submitted to Eurostat., Statistical presentation, The statistics describe manufacturers' sales of goods measured in terms of volume and value by detailed types of goods according to the international classifications CN and SITC. In addition to this, total sales (turnover) are distributed by industries (NACE groups)., The data collecting for the statistics for 2020 has partly been affected by the COVID-19 situation. However, it is assessed that the overall statistics has not been affected in any great extent., Since 2020, Statistics Denmark has carried out extensive work to ensure the quality of the reports from the largest companies. This has led to some audits for the years 2018 to 2022., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data are collected through a quarterly survey of all enterprises in manufacturing (including mining and quarrying) with at least 10 employees or a yearly turnover over 100 mio. dkk, approx. 3,000 units. Reported data are validated, by checking against previous reports as well as against other sources. Data are then aggregated by industrial groupings as well as commodity groups. Series with seasonality are seasonally adjusted., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistics are in high demand from many different users, including the National Accounts, ministries, trade associations, market analysts, researchers, consultants and businesses., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The main non-sampling error is the measurement error concerning classification at the most detailed CN level, as respondents do not always report sales according to the correct codes. Furthermore, data on quantities are generally less reliable than those on values, as some respondents estimate quantities and others do not answer, implying that estimations must be made in the statistical production process., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published two months after the end of the reference quarter. Publications are released on time, as stated in the release calendar., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, In its present form and as available in StatBank Denmark, the statistics are comparable since 1995, but the statistics have been produced in some form since 1905. The Prodcom-version of the statistics can be compared to Prodcom statistics of other EU countries. The statistics can be compared to Foreign Trade in Goods to create statistics on apparent consumption - for this, it is important to note the difference in coverage and the potential quality issues at the most detailed CN code level. The tables with sales by industry are consistent from 2000 following the DB07 classification. , Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published annually at the beginning of March in a Danish press release.

A function is the equivalent to an account in the accounting plan for municipalities and regions. Only the financial assets and liabilities are published quarterly. The current expenditure etc. is only published annually. Quarterly data are all preliminary, as the accounts of the municipalities and regions are not completed until the final accounts in May the following year. This means that corrections and account changes in the previous quarters of the year may happen., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data is delivered quarterly from the municipalities and regions' own financial management systems. Error detection is done on a micro level through error detection rules based the official accounting system. The rules are updated annually according to the notices for the municipalities and regions sent out by the Ministry the Interior. The accounts for the individual municipalities and regions are also compared with the accounts of the year before. Both absolute and relative changes are considered and all 98 municipalities and 5 regions are checked., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, There is a great interest in the published municipal and regional quarterly accounts among users with an interest in the municipalities and regions. The users are among others the municipalities and regions themselves, ministries, organizations, the media, politicians, private businesses, and private people. The accounts are also used in a number of other areas, including calculation of the EMU-debt, the EDP questionnaire for Eurostat, government planning, business cycle monitoring, and the financial accounts in the national accounts for government expenditure and revenue., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, There is a large variation between the quarterly accounts of the individual municipalities, partially because the placement of the individual account items can be interpreted in different ways. Adding to this is a number of unspecified account items (joint purpose). Some account items are estimated to be more 'safe' than others. This can be due to the fact that they reflect reimbursements from central government and therefore possibly the subject of ministerial interest. Some parts of the accounts are thus more 'safe' on a detailed level than others. Data for the quarterly accounts are preliminary, as the accounts of the municipalities and regions are not final until May the following year., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The publication time of the quarterly accounts of the municipalities and regions is approx. 35 days, from the last day of the quarter to the publication around 5 weeks later. The statistic has a high degree of punctuality, as it is usually published without delay in regards to the announced time., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Statistics Denmark has since 1977 electronically received and stored information concerning the financial assets and liabilities of local authorities at the end of the fiscal year. There is a break in data i 2007 due to the municipality reform, which means that the periods 1984-2006 and 2007- are hard to compare. Furthermore the following factors can complicate comparability over time: changes in the budget- and accounting systems, the assignments in the municipalities can changes over time, and the different ways the municipalities interpret the budget- and accounting system., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published in the StatBank under , Municipal accounts, and , Regional accounts, .

It is used, among other things, for regulation of building contracts, and for following the economic conjuncture in the construction industry. The statistics have been compiled in various forms since 1959, but in its current form the indices for earth work, asphalt work, concrete structures, and iron structures are comparable from 1976 and onwards. The index for roads is comparable from 1996 and onwards., Statistical presentation, The Construction cost indices for civil engineering projects shows trends in prices for work performed by different contractors in civil engineering projects: Earth work, asphalt work, concrete structures, iron structures, operating index, and sub-indices for Freight transport by road, and Equipment and machinery. Trends in costs for construction of roads are also monitored based on a weighing of indices for earthwork, asphalt work, concrete structures and iron structures., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The indices are calculated on the basis of information from the Standardised index of average earnings, Price index for domestic supply, the Producer price index for services, and Net price index., For all indices, sub-indices for labor costs and main cost groups are calculated. These sub-indices are weighed together to form the main indices. The weights reflect the shares of labor costs, material costs and equipment costs of the total costs of performing civil-engineering projects. The weights are based on an analysis of actual, completed civil engineering projects., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The purpose of the Construction cost indices for civil engineering projects is to reflect the development in the costs of civil-engineering projects. It is mainly used for regulation of building contracts. The indices are utilized primarily by construction organizations, contractors, building owners, craftsmen, lawyers and public authorities., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Overall the statistics are assessed to be representative for the general trends in costs of civil engineering projects in Denmark. The weight basis is based on an analysis of actual civil engineering projects. Changes in the typical use of materials, unusual price developments etc. may therefore affect the index' accuracy. The weight basis was last updated in 2025 with 2021 as reference period and is deemed representative for typical civil engineering work., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published quarterly approximately 70 days after the end of the quarter, i.e. at the beginning of March (4th quarter), June (1st quarter), September (2nd quarter) and December (3rd quarter). Yearly statistics (four quarter averages) are also published in connection with the 4th quarter publication. The statistics are usually published without delay in relation to the scheduled date. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The first cost index for road fund work was compiled for March 1959 and the index for motorway work was compiled for the first time for March 1967., The indices have since then changes both weights and calculation method several times, thus they are not directly comparable over time when going back to 1959., The Norwegian statistical agency /(Statistics Norway) produce a cost index for road construction which is comparable to the Danish indices., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published i StatBank Denmark under the subject , Indices for the construction sector, .

The primary data source to these statistics is the Student Register with data from 1970 onwards. In addition, the Qualification Register is used. Since the Student Register is the primary source for information, the Attainment Register gives nearly complete coverage from 1970 onwards. There is, however information before this time coming from The Qualification Register., Statistical presentation, The Attainment Register gathers information about the highest completed education for each single person based on the information in the Student Register and the Qualification Register. It is a longitudinal register based on an assessment of each person's education "career" and shows how the qualification career develops over time. The register is formed by interpreting the qualification career (skills in chronological order) in order to determine a change in the skill level. Once a year a status register is also produced with the population and information about education the 30. September the current year., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The Attainment Register is a longitudinal register based on a assessment of each persons education career in The Student Register and The Qualification Register. It shows how the qualification career develop over time, and it is updated once a year. The status register is produced on the basis of the longitudinal register and contains information about the population and their highest completed education per. September 30 the given year., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, There is a great variety of users. The information is generally used in connection with describing the population or sections hereof. The register is used in connection with status reports for other statistical fields. Data reports are thus submitted for (mainly on the population's highest level of education completed) a wide number of integration registers operated by Statistics Denmark. Furthermore, the register is frequently used in connection with external service activities order by Danish ministries, municipalities, research institutions, professional organization, private enterprises, private individuals and, not least, requests made by the news media., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The Accuracy and reliability vary depending on the source of information. More than 80 pct. of the information comes from administrative sources, such as student systems of educational institutions, which are highly reliable. These sources have priority one when the registry is created and will be used if there is information from one of these sources. Other sources are not so closely linked to the education programs and will often be less reliable. Examples of these sources are the surveys of immigrants' education and the population and housing census in 1970, based on self-reported education. In addition, information is imputed for persons who do not respond in the study of immigrants' education. The imputed data is useful in overall statistical statements, but cannot be considered as valid information on individuals' educational attainment. , In connection with the annual reports from the education institutions there is information which also relate to previous years. These delayed notifications concern particularly the last year., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published around 6 months after the end of the reference time. The statistics are usually published without delay in relation to the scheduled date., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The longitudinal register is produced once a year and the entire period is thus calculated in the same way. Based on the longitudinal register, a status register is produced with the population per. September 30 that year. In the event of significant changes in the way the longitudinal register is produced, the status registers for all years will be reproduced. It happens that an education changes level from one year to the next. Typically, this will not cause a reproduction of all the status registers and therefore affect comparability over time. Labor force survey provide information too Eurostat about the educational attainment level and this is these figures that are used for international comparison of the attainment level., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, Statistics are published once a year in "News from Statistics Denmark" . At the same time data are released in the Statbank and on the homepage: , Homepage, Information also appears in the annual publications Statistical 10-Year Review and the Statistical Yearbook., Read more about accessibility and clarity

The statistics are used, among other things, to convert countries' gross domestic product (GDP) into comparable figures and for analyses of expenditure levels. Denmark has participated in the work on purchasing power parities since the 1970s, but the statistics in their current form are comparable from 2000 onwards., Statistical presentation, Purchasing power parities (PPP) is an annual price level indicator which expresses the price level in a given country at a given time, relative to the price level in one or more countries. This means that PPP for a particular country indicate how many units of national currency are needed in that country to maintain the purchasing power of €1 in the EU. PPP can be calculated for individual products or aggregates, such as GDP., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Price surveys are conducted in order to provide price input data for household consumption, individual government consumption, collective consumption and gross fixed capital formation (investment goods and services). Reference (imputed) PPPs are used for NPISH consumption, inventories, and net exports., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The EU Commission uses GDP per capita PPP converted, as basis for allocating funds from the Structural Fund to reduce the financial inequalities among and within the 27 EU Member States. Furthermore, indicators derived from PPPs are used for a wide range of analytic purposes, often providing background information for policymaking in the European institutions, in international organizations like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, and in national governments., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, In the price surveys, the most important source of statistical margins of sampling errors is the range of goods and services, which are not equally representative of all countries included in the international comparisons. The composition of consumption expenditure differs among countries, and this gives rise to potential conflicts between representativeness and data comparability. For some areas, e.g. health it is particularly difficult to provide comparable information. The structure of the health sector differs among countries, and there are no "pure" market prices for these services, which constitutes another statistical margin of sampling error. The margins of sampling errors are not estimated., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Provisional results from the surveys of purchasing power parities are published one year after the reference period, whereas the final results are published three years after the reference period. The statistics are usually published without any delay in relation to the scheduled date of publication., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Purchasing power parities are compiled for the purpose of conducting price and volume comparisons for a specific year among countries. Consequently, they are comparable across the participating countries. Comparisons over time must be interpreted with caution, as the basket of goods and services differs from one year to another., In the calculation of PPP, price level index and volume index, the average of EU28 was used as a reference country (group of countries) until 2020. With the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union (EU), the EU27 (excluding the UK) = 100 will be used as a reference country (group of countries) from 2020. This has only a minor impact on the comparability of PPPs, the price level index and the volume index between 2019 and 2020. Results for 2024, published in December 2025 are presented in accordance with the new COICOP 2018 classification for product groups., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published annually in a Danish press release, at the same time as the tables are updated in the statbank.

As a satellite account under the European system of national accounts, this statistic represents the agricultural sector’s contribution to the National Accounts. In 2024, the statistic Gross factor income of agriculture was replaced by the Economic accounts for agriculture, which is regulated by an EU regulation. Accounts for Gross factor income of agriculture are available back to 1935, while the Economic accounts for agriculture in its current form are comparable from 1990 onwards., Statistical presentation, The Economic accounts for agriculture is an annual compilation of the agricultural sector’s economic activities, including the value of production (output), intermediate consumption, and gross investments. In addition, subsidies, labour input, and the sale of pesticides and mineral fertilizers are presented in separate, dedicated tables. The economic activities are compiled at basic prices and expressed in million DKK, both at current prices and at previous year’s prices. The statistics are compiled at both national and regional level. The agricultural labour input is measured in thousand annual work units (AWU). Direct subsidies to the agricultural sector are presented in million DKK. The sale of mineral fertilizers is compiled in tonnes., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The Economic accounts for agriculture is a composite statistical product, which means that its calculation basis is built on existing statistics, referred to as primary statistics. The statistics are compiled annually using data from a range of different sources, e.g., the Farm Accountancy Data Network and Feed Production Statistics, as well as from administrative registers, industry organizations, companies, and foundations. Once the data in each primary statistic has been processed, it is transferred to and consolidated in the data processing system for the Economic accounts for agriculture, which calculates the annual values. The value of each product is calculated using the standard “quantity times price” method., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The Economic accounts for agriculture are relevant for Danish authorities, the EU, research institutions, and agricultural organizations, as they allow monitoring of developments in the economic activities of the agricultural sector. The statistics also serve as input for the compilation of the National Accounts., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The uncertainty in the Economic accounts for agriculture is linked to the uncertainty in the primary statistics used for its compilation. For example, issues such as timing can introduce uncertainty, while other information, such as data from dairies and slaughterhouses, is exact. For preliminary calculations, some estimates are based partly on expert judgment and assumptions until the final data are processed in the primary statistics; therefore, the statistics are considered final only after two years. The sold quantities of mineral fertilizers from the Danish Agency for Green Conversion and the Environment are associated with a certain degree of uncertainty. The data come from the annual collection of sales figures, in which companies with registered products are asked to report the quantities sold of those products. Companies have the option to indicate tax-exempt quantities, but this is voluntary, and not all companies use this option. The data collection does not include self-imports, and some products may be double-counted if a company has not used the option to report a sold quantity as tax-exempt. The data quality is therefore directly dependent on the information provided by the companies to the Agency., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Preliminary figures for the Economic accounts for agriculture are published no later than 10 months after the end of the reference year. Revised, yet still preliminary, figures are published 22 months after the end of the reference year. Final figures are published no later than 2 years and 10 months after the end of the reference year., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The Economic accounts for agriculture replace the Gross Value Added of Agriculture and are published for the first time in 2025 for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024. They are directly comparable with the Gross Value Added of Agriculture, which can be traced back to 1990, while older compilations exist back to 1935. Unlike the Gross Value Added of Agriculture, the Economic accounts for agriculture include changes in farm stocks and livestock in sales values and present sales values at basic prices. In addition, the compilation contains a number of financial accounts that are not included in the Gross Value Added of Agriculture. As a satellite account, the Economic accounts for agriculture are comparable with the National Accounts’ compilations for the agricultural sector., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in , Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik, .

Base year in the prices indices is changed every fifth year, and latest base year is 2010., Statistical presentation, The Statistics contains for almost all items, monthly, quarterly and yearly information of agricultural prices, as well on sale products as on most products used in the intermediate consumption including capital formation. Some prices are only obtainable as price indices only, especially regarding intermediate consumption. Furthermore the volumes are shown for animal products. The statistics covers both agriculture and horticulture. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for this statistics is collected at different frequencies from multiple sources.

Furthermore, there is a need in the industry to follow price developments. The statistics cover the need primarily to calculate value added needed for the agricultural gross factor income calculation, which is a part of the National account. , Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, On some products, i.e. horticultural products, qualities and types are several and dynamic. It makes it a little difficult to be sure on the representatively on the prices followed. Concerning input prices based on general price statistics, the situation in agriculture are maybe not fully reflected. Some indices on volumes are indirectly measured based on values and price indices. This method can lead to inaccuracy. The declaration on content on Economic Account for Agriculture and these on animal production includes more information on possible inaccuracy. Because of the very different picture of sources, margins of statistical errors can not be calculated. However, for main output products, i.e. milk and meat, the coverage and accuracy are close to 100 per cent. Prices on cereals and feeding stuff (concentrates) are based on more that 70 per cent of total volume, which ensure high reliability. In general, the accuracy is highest on sales product and less high on intermediate consumption and goods for capital formation., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistic is regarded as punctual., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Not applicable., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in "Landbrug, gartneri og skovbrug" (Agriculture) appearing in the series "NYT fra Danmarks Statistik" (Statistical News) and in the annual publications Statistical Yearbook, Statistical Ten-Year Review and "Jordbrugets prisforhold".
