In relation to the publication of the new Standardised index of average earnings, these indices were renamed to Implicit index of average earnings. In the new index changes in the workforce is taken into account when calculating the development in earnings., The Implicit index of average earnings goes back to first quarter of 2005 for the private sector and first quarter of 2007 for the public sector., Statistics Denmark has decided to discontinue the implicit index of average earnings at the beginning of 2026 with the publication of the index for the fourth quarter of 2025. Instead, users are advised to use the standardised index of average earnings, which also illustrates the development in pay level for employees in Denmark. The discontinuation of the implicit index of average earnings will not have any impact on the standardised index of average earnings, which will be the only wage index from Statistics Denmark in the future. The historical series of the implicit index of average earnings will continue to be accessible in StatBank Denmark. In order for users to handle the transition to the standardised index of average earnings, a guide (in Danish) has been prepared on how to switch from the implicit to the standardised index of average earnings in practice. It is available on Statistics Denmark's information page on , indexation, ., Statistical presentation, The Implicit index of average earnings is a quarterly statistic of the development in wages for all employees in Denmark, including students and young persons under 18.

This means that wages partly reflect changes in staff composition in a given industry., Private enterprises as well as ministries etc are the central users. The index is used especially in connection with various contract regulations, as well as the regulatory scheme in the public wageagreements., The Implicit index of average earnings is the wage index that comes closest to being comparable to the European LCI., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, For the public sector the statistics are based on data for virtually all employees. For the private sector, there are two factors that can affect accuracy, namely uncertainty in the sample statistics and that there may be problems with the completeness of the reported data from the company., This index is an where the sum of wages and hours worked is counted in each group (etc. activity sector). Thus, changes in personnel in a given industry will have an impact on the measured wage development., The figures do not undergo revision; the published figures are usually final., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The implicit index of average earnings are published approx. 60 days after the end of the reference quarter, at the same time as the standardised index of average earnings is published.

The statistics are used for e.g. monitoring of business cycles, regulation of contracts, analyses of developments in pay levels as well as input in the calculation of the National Accounts., The statistics have been prepared since 2018 with data back to the first quarter of 2016.

Each quarter, an index value and an annual increase are published., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for these statistics are collected quarterly. For the public sector all payroll information are collected while data are collected via a sample from the private sector. The collected data is validated at an aggregate level for key enterprises (only in the private sector) and at an individual level through a combination of validation rules for the hourly earnings for the individual employment relationship. The hourly earnings are assessed based on sector, industry, main occupation and type of employment. Once data has been validated, base index is calculated for each homogeneous group, which afterwards is aggregated to sub- and total indices at sector, industry or main occupation level., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, These statistics are relevant for private enterprises and organisations, as well as ministries and other public institutions for analysis, contractual regulation etc. The statistical data are also used in other areas within Statistics Denmark, e.g the calculation of the Danish National Accounts., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The accuracy of these statistics are higher for employees in the public sector than in the private sector. The reason for this is that the statistics for employees in the public sector (more or less) consists of all payroll information, while the statistics for employees in the public sector is based on a sample of enterprises. The accuracy of the statistics for the private sector is therefore affected by sampling uncertainty, completeness of the reported information and non-response. The impact on the indices are unknown., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, These statistics are published two months after the end of the reference period. The statistics are released typically without delay according to scheduled dates of publication. , In February 2022, the statistics were paused and a comprehensive service review was initiated. As a result, the method for calculating standardized index of average earnings was revised. This publication therefore contains revised index values and annual increases for the entire period from the first quarter of 2016 until the first quarter of 2023. This means that the series contains revised values from the first quarter of 2016 until the third quarter of 2021 as well as previously unpublished values from the fourth quarter of 2021 until the first quarter of 2023., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The standardised index of average earnings was first published in December 2018 with a time series starting in the first quarter of 2016.

In Extrastat, the reliability at detailed commodity/country levels is also high, while the reliability is comparatively lower in Intrastat due to the margins of uncertainty involved in estimating trade by enterprises exempted from reporting data., However, the first publications of the external figures are subject to some uncertainty, as a relatively high number of errounous data reports cannot be included at the time of publication. Compensation for this is made by estimation and a later correction. The reliability of figures for a given month is greatly increased by later publications of statistics.

The European Commission publishes figures for all EU countries in its database. Eurostat's consumer confidence is based on a slightly different composition of questions than the current one in Denmark. Therefore, the overall consumer confidence indicators calculated in Denmark and in Eurostat are not directly comparable, whereas all sub-indicators are directly comparable.

The accounts are compiled in accordance with the guidelines set out in ESA2010 and are comparable with regional accounts for other European countries. Regional accounts are published at the NUTS II level (regions) and NUTS III level (provinces). Regional accounts have been compiled since 1999., Statistical presentation, Regional accounts describe the geographical dimension of production and income conditions as these are compiled in the national accounts using the production approach. The regional allocation aims at adding production etc. to the region where production takes place. , Regional accounts contain information on GDP, gross value added, gross fixed capital formation, compensation of employees and employment. Moreover the household sector's incomes are compiled. The regional allocation of the household income is based on the residence of the households and not where the incomes are earned., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The statistics are based on regional versions of the national accounts' sources, where this is possible. The main sources are Accounting Statistics for Non-agricultural Private Sector and General Government Finances Statistics. The sources are used either directly or as a distribution key. The regional accounts are revised in line with the publication rhythm of the national accounts. The final figures for the regional accounts are therefore not available until three years after the end of the reference period., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, National and regional accounts are relevant for all, who deal with economic and regional matters., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Regional accounts are subject to the same margins of uncertainty as the annual national accounts and the inaccuracy here relates to the inaccuracy of the various sources used. However, the conceptual consistency and over time uniform adaptation of the sources contribute to reduce the inaccuracy of the national accounts figures. In particular, the combination of the primary sources into a coherent system in many cases reveals errors, which are therefore not reflected in the final national accounts. With regard to the regional dimension the following factors can be mentioned:, Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, First version of regional accounts is published 12 month after the reference year. Final regional accounts are published 3 years after the reference year. Regional accounts have a high degree of punctuality, Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Regional accounts are consistent with the national accounts, as the sum of the figures for each region with respect to each individual variable is equal to the national accounts value for the same variables. Consequently, each variable can be interpreted in the same manner as the national accounts variables. Regional accounts are based on guidelines set out in ESA2010 and are thereby directly comparable with other regional accounts from the EU Member States. Consistent time series are available for 1993 onwards., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published in a Danish press release. In the StatBank, these statistics can be found under , National accounts by region, . For further information, go to the , subject page, ., Regional accounts by 38 industries and 11 provinces/5 regions are available (at a charge). Furthermore regional data can be provided (at a charge) for groups of municipalities with a joint population of at least 100.000 inhabitants. In addition GDP and other non-industry data is available for municipalities with a population of at least 10.000 inhabitants., Read more about accessibility and clarity

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).
