Purpose and history
The purpose of the statistics is to calculate the number of working days lost due to work stoppages.
The statistics have been compiled since 1973.

Description of Contents
The statistics illustrates the extent of work stoppages during the year. Based on reports from approximately 25 major public and private employers and employer organisations. The number of working days lost due to the reported conflicts is calculated.

Statistical Concepts
Population: The statistics are based on reports from approximately 25 major public and private employers and employer organisations. Important report suppliers are the Danish Employers' Confederation and the Danish counties.

Variables: In the questionnaire the employers report for each conflict: the date of commencement of the conflict, the main occupational group/ trade union of the persons involved, number of employed involved, the duration of the conflict and the number of working days lost.

Statistical concepts: The number of working days lost is calculated for each conflict by multiplying the duration of the conflict by the number of employees involved. Furthermore the number of work stoppages are calculated.

Groups: The number of working days lost is distributed by industry group, based on the information on the main occupational group of the employees involved in the conflicts and the industry of the employer.
