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.

Documentation of statistics: Multiplier Tables

Contact info, National Accounts, Climate and Environment, Economic Statistics , Peter Rørmose Jensen , +45 40 13 51 26 , PRJ@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Multiplier Tables 2022 , Previous versions, Multiplier Tables 2019, Multiplier Tables 2018, Multiplier Tables 2017, Multiplier Tables 2016, Economic multipliers measure the effect on e.g. production, income or employment at a detailed industry level, following a 1 million DKK "shock" to final use in an industry or in a final use category. Multipliers are not statistics in the traditional sense but may be termed more correctly as model calculations. As it is not entirely uncomplicated to calculate multipliers, a collection of the most used multipliers are made available for download this way. The statistics is a resume - now in electronic form - of the publication , Danish input-output tables and analyses, , that was published annually in a period up until 2011. , Statistical presentation, The tables contain a variety of multipliers, which can be considered a tool for assessing the impact of various "shocks" on demand. The tables are divided into three groups, production multipliers, employment multipliers and input multipliers. Each of these three groups is further subdivided into whether it is a shock to the demand in a particular industry or in a specific final use. In each table, it is also possible to further choose which type of multiplier you want to work with or what kind of employment you find most interesting. The multipliers are used when, for example, one wants to assess the effects of a possible shock to the demand. By multiplying a multiplier with the size of the shock, one can assess what effects it will have on production, employment, etc., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The multiplier tables are based on already published data from Statistics Denmark, so the primary contribution that comes from these statistics is the statistical treatment of the basic material, which is done as a service for the users. Treatment is most easily done with software dedicated to the task and consists in working with data in matrix format and the use of certain matrix formulas picked up from the literature. One of the most important elements of the calculations is the compilation of the inverted matrix of inputs into the production - the so-called Leontief inverse matrix., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The multiplier tables are relevant for all those who would like to be able to calculate a general estimate of the effects on variables such as production, employment, imports etc.. when demand increases in an industry or one final use. It is an obvious choice for people who need to prepare and assess various policy initiatives who can use the multipliers to get an initial estimate of policy implications for key economic variables., The multiplier tables are ready to use and requires no prior knowledge of input-output modeling., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The multipliers are the result of model calculations, which are based on national accounting statistics and input-output tables. In each section, polls and adjustments are made under assumptions, which together mean that the calculation process builds some uncertainty about the figures. At the most detailed level, therefore, one can not necessarily expect the results to be accurate representations of reality. Conclusions from the tables should be drawn with some caution, taking account of the uncertainties that may arise in the various stages of the process., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The multipliers that build upon the national accounts input-output tables are published simultaneously with the final version of the national accounts approximately 30 months after the end of the reference year. Despite the fact that the numbers are 30 month old when published it is assessed that the degree of actuality in the numbers is quite high. The multipliers represent economic structures that changes quite slowly and therefore the numbers do not need to be as new and recent as numbers representing the state of the market economy. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The input-output tables that make up the source for the multiplier statistics are fully coherent with the national accounts which makes the multipliers coherent as well. The classification of industries and final use categories are concurrent. The multipliers are published for the most recent final year of the national accounts because multipliers in current prices are not comparable over time. To the extent that similar multipliers are calculated in other countries a high degree of comparability can be expected., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics is published in the , Statbank, ., Read more about accessibility and clarity

The theaters divided into state-subsidized and non-state-subsidized theaters. Statistics for the state-subsidized theaters have been prepared since the season 1980/1981. Statistics for the non-state-subsidized theaters have been prepared since the 2003/2004 season. Statistics on international guest performances on both state-sponsored and non state-subsidized theaters have been prepared since the 2004/2005 season. In season 2005/2006 was the concert and culture hosted international guest performances also included in the statistics. The figures for the season 2015/2016 are not directly comparable with previous figures as there has been a data break. , Statistical presentation, The statistics show annual seasonal activities, productions, performances, spectators and primary audiences at the state-supported and non-state-supported professional theatres. For each production there is information about genre, theater category, activity, stage and audience group.. For the season 2020/2021 and forward, the statistics have been revised, where the number of categories with regards to theatres, genre and audience group have been expanded. Therefore there has been a data break. Two new tables in Statbank has been developed, SCENE08A and SCENE10A, which are consistent back to season 2015/2016. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for this statistics is collected annually from individual theaters via an electronic questionnaire. The collected data is validated for consistency and compared with previous seasons. After validation, the data is aggregated, and imputation is performed for missing responses. Special considerations are taken for extraordinary circumstances, such as closures and restrictions related to COVID-19 during the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 seasons, as well as to some extent in the subsequent seasons, where additional statistical treatment was necessary., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Key users are the Ministry of Culture, government, public and private organizations, researchers and the press. There has not been a user satisfaction., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Reporting for the Performing Arts statistic is voluntary. Therefore, the statistics are not fully comprehensive. Several of the non-state-subsidized theaters report that they do not have resources to cooperate in the investigation. Many reporters are small theater producers / project theaters that receive government subsidies to develop a single production. It can be difficult to get reports from some of these reporters. Yet it is estimated that performing arts statistics cover the majority of activities in performing arts, as all large and medium state-subsidized and non-subsidized theaters, participate in the study in each season., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, These statistics are published approximately six months after the end of the season. Publications are released on time, as stated in the release calendar., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics have been compiled since the season 1980-81. In connection with the changes to the legislative etc., Regulating aid to the theaters, there may be changes in the population, which can complicate comparisons over time.

Unemployment concepts

There are three different unemployment concepts – net unemployment, gross unemployment and LFS unemployment., Statistics Denmark regularly publishes two sets of unemployment statistics, which use different unemployment concepts and consequently result in different unemployment figures. The register-based unemployment statistics, which assess net unemployment and gross unemployment, and the interview-based Labour Force Survey (LFS), which assesses LFS unemployment. , Net unemployment covers recipients of unemployment benefits, cash benefits and student grants who are job-ready and not in job activation. The numbers are converted into ‘full-time equivalent (FTE) unemployed persons’. , In addition to net unemployment, gross unemployment also covers recipients of unemployment benefits, cash benefits and student grants who are job-ready and in job activation, including persons employed with wage subsidies, also converted into ‘FTE unemployed persons’. , LFS unemployment covers persons who indicate in the Labour Force Survey that they were not in employment during the week that the survey took place, , and, that they actively sought employment in the four weeks up to the week in which the survey took place, , and, that they were able to start a job within two weeks. , When to use which unemployment concept, In Denmark, gross unemployment is the most common unemployment concept used in the debate. Gross unemployment (and net unemployment, which is a subset hereof) gives monthly details on unemployment, e.g. at municipal level, broken down by age groups or by unemployment insurance funds. Moreover, gross unemployment is ideal for highlighting the extent of part-time unemployment and for linking with other register variables such as education and country of origin. LFS unemployment is mainly used in international comparisons of unemployment rates and trends in different countries. Furthermore, the LFS can show the extent of unemployed persons who are not entitled to unemployment benefits or cash benefits, or be used to assess the number of persons who want to find a job. , Overview of unemployment concepts,  , LFS unemployment, Net unemployment , Gross unemployment, Based on, QUESTIONNAIRE, (figures from the Labour Force Survey), REGISTERS, (data from STAR - the Danish Agency for Labour Market Recruitment), REGISTERS, (data from STAR - the Danish Agency for Labour Market Recruitment), Is, sample-based questionnaire , survey with 72,000 interviews each year, register-based complete census, register-based complete census, Published, quarterly, monthly, monthly, Unemployed persons, Complies with the international ILO definition:, - are completely jobless and, - are available to take up employment and, - have carried out activities to seek employment, are registered as unemployed recipients of unemployment benefits or job-ready recipients of cash benefits, excl. those in activation, are registered as unemployed recipients of unemployment benefits, incl. those in activation, What is, counted, number of PERSONS, persons converted to FTE PERSONS, persons converted to FTE PERSONS, Time series, in Statbank Denmark , From 2008, From 1979, From 2007, Strengths, - useful in international comparisons, - shows also unemployed persons who are not entitled to unemployment benefits or cash benefits, - shows persons who want to get a job, - shows youth unemployment (15-24-year-old persons), - allows for supplementary questions, - a monthly flash unemployment indicator , - a long time series from 1979, - shows small groups of persons , - shows available hours, - shows breakdown by unemployment benefit funds , - linkage with other register variables, - a monthly flash unemployment indicator , - shows small groups of persons, - shows available hoursr, - shows breakdown by unemployment benefit funds, - linkage with other register variables, Weaknesses, - statistical uncertainty, - high uncertainty for small groups, complies only partly with the ILO definition, as it only covers persons who are entitled to unemployment benefits or cash benefits, complies only partly with the ILO definition, as it only covers persons who are entitled to unemployment benefits or cash benefits,  ,
