Policy and action plan for gender equality

At Statistics Denmark, we are making an effort to attract and retain skilled and dedicated employees and we regard diversity in the composition of employees and management as a strong point. For that reason, we pursue:, Balance in the gender distribution among employees and managers at all levels. , Momentum in the development of talented male and female managers., Equal recruitment and career opportunities for women and men. , Elimination of gender bias in pay structures., Senior management levels, To us, gender equality is about the whole organisation, and we want to fuel a pipeline of talented executives and contribute to the public sector’s recruitment of both male and female executives., Baseline in figures, Male/female ratio in Statistics Denmark, Dec. 2023, Women, Men, The Supervisory Board, 62 per cent  (5), 38 per cent  (3), Senior management levels (The director general and the directors), 33 per cent  (2), 67 per cent  (4), Managers with personnel responsibilities (incl. chief advisers with personnel responsibilities, excl. the senior management level) , 33 per cent  (12), 67 per cent  (24), Employees (excl. managers and senior management level), 52 per cent  (279), 48 per cent  (258), Total, 51 per cent  (293), 49 per cent  (286), In the long term, we are aiming for at least 40 per cent of the under-represented sex on the Supervisory Board as well as the Executive Board. The target figures are based on the Danish act on equal treatment of men and women and apply to 2024-2028., Initiatives, To achieve our objectives, we are working on implementing tangible initiatives in the fields of recruitment and career., Recruitment, We want everyone irrespective of gender, to find our vacant positions attractive and we aim for a recruitment practice that provides equal employment opportunities irrespective of gender. For this purpose, we focus on the following:, We continuously focus on describing vacant positions and Statistics Denmark in a way that appeals to everyone irrespective of gender., We are working on preventing bias in the recruitment process and aim for both sexes to be represented on interview boards, and for at least one person of each sex to be invited for an interview., In collaboration with external experts in the area, we are building knowledge and awareness of the unconscious gender biases, focusing especially on managers, HR staff and others who make decisions about recruitment and career development. , Career, We want equal opportunities for everyone, irrespective of gender, to develop and be promoted in terms of both responsibilities and pay. This applies regardless of the different conditions of life, which may be gender-specific, e.g. in connection with parental leave. To achieve this objective, we support the dialogue on competence development, new assignments, increased responsibility and pay with, among other things, the following initiatives:, In connection with employee appraisal interviews, for example, we focus on making it clear for everyone what talent development opportunities the organisation offers, making it easier for everyone – regardless of gender – to see how they can develop their competences, ambitions and abilities to the benefit of both their personal career and the organisation., Before and after parental leave, we hold parental leave interviews to ensure that the employee returns from leave to assignments of a corresponding nature and complexity and does not experience a setback in his or her career because of the parental leave. In support of the interviews, HR has prepared material for the managers on the rules regarding parental leave as well as an interview guide., Managers, the Executive Board and the Joint Consultation Committee continuously focus on providing clear reasons for appointments and pay rises. It promotes transparency in the decision process and reduces the risk of unconscious gender bias affecting the decisions., We have made an effort to incorporate the continuous work on implementing the actions in the organisation’s existing processes to ensure the most extensive coherence possible with the general staff policy., Data support, We use relevant data and statistics to support our work towards gender equality. For example:, Each year, we prepare a gender equality report showing, for example, the gender distribution of different staff groups and management levels as well as gender-specific earnings statistics, which allows us to regularly assess the extent of the gender equality gap and the effect of initiatives., As part of surveying emotional health in the workplace and employee satisfaction in the organisation, permanent questions are included on gender-specific discrimination, harassment and offending actions. The survey is conducted every two years., Follow-up, The Executive Board regularly follows up on the initiatives and identifies any need to adjust the plan., Every year, the Executive Board and the Joint Consultation Committee discuss the gender equality status based on an annual gender equality report. The discussions lead to the identification of any need for new initiatives., The policy and action plan for gender equality has been approved by Statistics Denmark’s Executive Board.

The main focus is on short-term economic fluctuations, making it particularly useful for business cycle analysis, assessing economic conditions, and as a basis for economic models and forecasts. The statistics describe the economy as a whole, including transactions between households, businesses, and institutions, as well as transactions between Denmark and abroad. It has been compiled since 1988 and is fully comparable from first quarter 1990., Statistical presentation, The quarterly national accounts provide an overview of short-term activities and developments in the Danish economy. The quarterly national accounts include figures for key aggregates such as gross domestic product (GDP), private consumption, public consumption, investment, exports and imports, employment and wages, as well as profits and productivity across different industries. In addition, quarterly figures are available for a wide range of subcategories that can shed light on business cycle developments in the economy., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The quarterly national accounts are compiled based on almost all short-term statistics that describe sub-areas of the economy and employment. When the first estimate for a given period is prepared, not all information for that period is yet available. The calculations are therefore based on the structure of the recent final national accounts, which are projected using indicators from, for example, short-term statistics. As new sources become available, they are gradually incorporated into the quarterly national accounts according to a fixed schedule., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The quarterly national accounts are relevant for anyone working with short-term and cyclical macroeconomic conditions. The use of the quarterly accounts ranges by the economic ministries for planning, analysis, forecasting, and modelling purposes, to similar uses by business organisations and other interest groups, as well as for the public’s interest in understanding the structure and development of the economy., Feedback from users is continuously evaluated through the Economic Statistics user Committee, user group meetings, direct contact with users, and through international forums., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The quarterly national accounts’ ability to accurately describe the economic reality depends partly on the uncertainty associated with the sources. Some areas are measured more precisely than others due to better source data. Initial releases may lack data or be preliminary, and errors in sources or their combination with the national accounts system can affect reliability. Unforeseen economic shocks can increase uncertainty, but the accounts system’s consolidation of information helps reduce it., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The first version of the quarterly national accounts is published 50 days after the end of the quarter, and a revised version is published 90 days after the end of the quarter. In connection with the publication of the fourth quarter at the end of February, the first version of the annual national accounts is also released.

The job vacancy statistics is an important labour market indicator as businesses typically reduce the number of job vacancies before they begin the dismissal of employees. Data on job vacancies is collected in accordance with similar guidelines by all EU Member States, which implies that the statistics are suitable for comparing the development in the number of job vacancies across the EU Member States., Statistical presentation, The statistics shows the quarterly development in the real number of job vacancies and job vacancy rates in relation to the sum of job vacancies and occupied posts in the Danish labour market. The statistics are broken into economic activity and size, which makes it possible to monitor and analyse the scope and structure of the demand for labour by industry and size level of the workplaces. Furthermore, the number of job vacancies and job vacancy rates at regional level are estimated., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The statistics are compiled with use off a digital questionnaire, with a quarterly survey population of approximately 7,000 local units . Data are corrected for errors and for not reported data an imputation is conducted. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The users of the statistics are primary the press, private companies, private persons and Eurostat. The statistic is used in analysis about the demand for labour and in the public debate. Data on job vacancies are collected in accordance with similar guidelines by all EU Member States, which implies that the statistics are suitable for comparing the development in the number of job vacancies across the EU Member States., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, As with all other sample-based statistics, there are some sample errors associated with the estimates. As is the case in other EU Member States, the variation coefficient (CV), which is the standard deviation in relation to the estimate, is used in calculating the sample errors. For the total number of occupied posts the variation coefficient normally is under 1 per cent, while for the total number of job vacancies the variation coefficient is 3-5 per cent. For the NACE sections and size classes the CV are relatively high. This is due to the great variations between the number of job vacancies reported and the many data reported concerning zero vacancies.., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Data are released around 75 days after the reference quarter. The punctuality is very high, as delays in planned releases happen very rarely., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, From the third quarter of 2012 a new more updated population is used in the enumeration process. The population is drawn from the ESR-register and contains information on the number of occupied posts, which are only three quarters old compared to the former population which was based on a less updated register. The changed enumeration process is estimated to have impact on the number of job vacancies, but not on the JVR (Job Vacancy Rate), which means that the number of job vacancies are not comparable historically in contrast to the JVR., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, Data are published quarterly in News from Statistics Denmark.

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.

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, .

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.
