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.

The affiliation is compiled at the end of November and is published annually. The first time RAS was published it concerned the populations connection to the labour market end November 1980. , Statistical presentation, RAS is an annually labour market statistic based on the labour market affiliation for the resident population in Denmark on the last working day in November. The connection to the labour market for the people resident in Denmark is divided into three socioeconomic main groups which are employed, unemployed and people outside the labour force.

Contact info, Science, Technology and Culture , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Radio and TV Statistics Advertising 2014 , Previous versions, These statistics are meant to provide easy, simple access to basic facts, and answer questions on the media habits of the population. For example: the total and duration of TV advertising spots and advertising sales volumes can be seen. The statistics have previously been published as a part of the now defunct MedieStatistikBanken, started in 2006. MedieStatistikBanken was set up by the former Danish Media Secretariat (now Danish Agency for Culture) in collaboration with the media industry and Statistics Denmark. The statistics were taken over to the Denmark Statistics-owned StatBank Denmark in 2012., Statistical presentation, The Radio and TV statistics Advertising shows the scope and sales volumes of TV spots in Denmark, and advertising sales volumes for printed and electronic media:, FOR4216, - Total, duration and coverage of spots by TV channel: The table shows the total, duration and coverage of TV spots by TV channel, excluding the regional adverting shown on TV 2, and are based on the TNS Gallup TV Meter annual report: TNS Gallup measures actual TV viewing in TV-owning households in Denmark using its TV Meter on behalf of DR TV, TV 2/DANMARK, TV3, SBS TV, Discovery, Turner Broadcasting and MTV Networks. Gallup TV Meter equipment logs all TV viewing in 1,000 selected households, or for 2,200 individuals. The viewing habits of these individuals are logged around the clock on an ongoing basis. Data on viewer habits - who watches which channels and when - are transmitted daily to TNS Gallup, which checks and processes the figures. Gallup TV Meter system results are used by programme planners to compile their programme lists. The sales executives from the commercial channels determine spot prices based on viewing figures, and the advertising industry uses the analyses to plan advertising campaigns and check exposure. For definitions and more background details, see the links below to TNS Gallup: http://www.gallup.dk/vores-markedsfokus/medier/tv-meter.aspx (TV Meter), VIR317, - TV spot sales volumes (in DKK 1,000) broken down by industry and time: The table shows the sales volumes in DKK 1,000 which the industry sectors listed have spent on TV advertising spots on all registered TV channels during a specific year. TV 2 regional adverts are included in TV 2's figures. VIR317 is based on TNS Gallup Media Intelligence/Gallup AdFacts: TNS Gallup Media Intelligence measures advertising campaigns from TV, print and radio, and receives reports from outdoor, cinema and online advertising, but does not register media such as sponsoring agreements, classified ads and major in-store campaigns. The results in VIR317 solely concern TV, and are based on TNS Gallup Media Intelligence's daily surveys and logging of all advertising spots on TV 2, TV3 and SBS TV channels, plus Discovery Channel and Cartoon Network. TNS Gallup Media Intelligence's price calculations were based on the TV companies' spot prices between 1992 and 1994. As from 1995, price calculation was changed so that the prices for all stations could be calculated using a GRP price. TV 2 is priced according to the applicable, official GRP price, TV3 and SBS TV are priced in relation to TV 2, which means that the calculated spend is lower than for preceding years. For definitions and more background details, see the link below: http://www.gallup.dk/vores-markedsfokus/medier/media-intelligence.aspx, VIR316, - Advertising spend by medium: The table shows sale of advertising space by medium, excluding any form of commission, allowances, discounts and VAT.

The universe used is Media Scandinavia, survey service and or trade organisations. Media owners and/or their trade associations are encouraged to report the sales volumes relevant for this survey (in full confidence) to the Danish Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC). Their own advertising is not included in spend. In addition, public or private industry sector surveys are included, such as Gallup Adfacts. If no reports are available, employees of the Danish Audit Bureau of Circulation and members of the expert panels set up for each medium group perform a group evaluation. Finally, the results for each media group are assessed and the overall result of the steering group which constantly tracks the report's production is created., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data are collected from TNS Gallup TV Meter annual report and TNS Gallup Media Intelligence/Gallup AdFacts (VIR317, FOR4216) and Danish Audit Bureau of Circulation, Advertising Expenditure Survey in Denmark (VIR316)., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistics are relevant for all., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Coverage: The statistics are based on random sample surveys.

Based on a report prepared by the activation statistics committee (report no. 1259) the first statistics were compiled as from the first quarter of 1994. The reason for setting up the committee was that the Danish statistics at that time were unable to provide reliable data on the wide variety of municipal activation schemes. The committee's work was performed over the period December 1992 to October 1993. Since 1994 new measures have been introduced and others have ceased. As from the third quarter of 1999 the number of persons working in flex- and sheltered jobs are published concurrently with the labour market policy measures. Persons participating in activation according to the job integration act were included from the first quarter of 2000. As from the third quarter of 2003, and with effect in the publications as from the first quarter of 2004, a number of changes to the codes/names were undertaken due to a political reform that meant the introduction of new activation schemes, whereas other schemes ceased to exist. From 2007 the statistics is extended with persons on early retirement pay, sickness benefit, maternity leave and from 2008 it is extended furthermore with young people in ordinary education ('SU-modtagere')., Statistical presentation, The statistics provide data on trends in the average number of participants (beneath their state pension age) with public benefits, analyzed by labour market policy measure. The activities take place within the following main groups: Unemployed, persons in supported employment, leave, education/training, other activation, integration allowance, sickness benefit and different kinds of early retirement pay. The figure on average number of participants (full-time participants), is a volume measurement. The figures is comparable with the average number of full-time unemployed in the unemployment statistics., From June 2022 the statistics is extended to include persons receiving 'Early Pension", 'Senior Pension' and 'Adult apprenticeship support'. From March 2025 the statistics on sickness benefit recipients is changed to another data source., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, All data necessary for the statistics is collected from administrative registers. The data is collected through SAS-files and FTP-servers. When the data files are collected we make a preliminary validation of each file. Afterwards the data is loaded in the database (PSD) on a uniform format. After that illegal overlapping time periods where the same person is receiving different conflicting public benefits are eliminated before the total data amount is transmitted into a 'production database' from where the statistics is published., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, 'Users': Municipalities, regions, ministries, organizations and the media. 'Fields of application': Public labour market surveillance. There has not been any actual 'satisfaction-examination' carried out, but the general use of the statistics, media, has always been considerable, and the statistics is expected to be an important part of the future 'Labour market account' (AMR), which is going to be released in the spring 2015., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, All data necessary for the statistics is collected from administrative registers. The statistics cover the population aged 16-64 who is receiving some sort of public benefits. Conflicting and erroneous information about each individual person may frequently occur as the statistics are compiled from a variety of administrative registers. Examples are a person who is regarded as both a recipient of cash benefits and as a person entitled to claim unemployment benefits, or a person participating in several activation schemes at the same time, which exceed 37 hours per week, or a person participating in the same activation over an unrealistic long period of time. The main reason for these errors is that the respondents fail to update the existing data as soon as new data is available. Error correction is some times undertaken by Statistics Denmark on the basis of logical requirements and some times by the respondents themselves. However, the best possible solution is for error correction to be undertaken by the respondents themselves. The municipalities report data on persons entitled to claim cash benefits and similar allowances in various ways. Currently there is no estimates/numbers available on the total statistical errors., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The quarterly statistics is published roughly 80 days after the end of the reference quarter and the yearly statistics is published roughly 100 days after the end of the reference year. The exact release dates are advertised a year ahead., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The current statistics on persons receiving public benefits covers in general the time period from the 1. of January 2007 and onwards. Persons receiving ordinary education (SU-modtagere) is only included from the 1. of January 2008 and onwards. From 2006 to 2007 there are some differences in the covering and in the concepts. However, some time series in the stat bank starts back in the first quarter of 1994. The general comparability is reduced by the many changes in the measures over time. When the statistics is based on a number of national administrative registers it is obviously very difficult to make any international comparisons. However, Eurostat has tried to make some international comparisons in the area of participants/expenditures on some sorts of public benefits through their Labour Market Policy (LMP)-database., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published in a Danish press release and in the StatBank under , Persons below the state pension age on public benefits, .
