Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET)

Register-based indicator for the share of young persons from 16-24 years who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET). , Introduction, NEET is an acronym for "Not in Employment, Education or Training", and this set of statistics accounts for the number of young persons from 16-24 years who are not in employment or education. The statistical data period is the last week of November, and a person is categorised as not active (NEET), if he or she is not in employment in that week and is not in education either in that same week as well as the preceding three weeks., The statistics are based on the Labour Market Accounts (LMA) and facilitate the calculation of a NEET indicator based on register data. The statistics have taken inspiration from the NEET indicator, which is defined by Eurostat as well as the OECD, and which is calculated from the interview-based Labour Force Survey (LFS)., Documentation, Documentation of statistics, Get an overview of the purpose, content and quality of the statistics.

Institutions must be authorised in order to get access to data under Statistics Denmark’s microdata schemes. This page has information on the possibilities of obtaining authorisation, educational authorisation or client authorisation and on the application process., Apply for authorisation, To get access to pseudonymised data under Statistics Denmark’s microdata schemes, your institution must be authorised. To obtain authorisation, an institution must have a permanent research/analysis environment, which involves e.g. employing a head of staff and at least three experienced researchers/analysts. To apply for authorisation, you must complete the application form at the bottom of this page., Read more about our requirements to your institution and the application under ‘Types of institutions eligible for authorisation’ and ‘Requirements to application for authorisation’ below., Without authorisation – what are the options?, If your research/analysis environment is not eligible for authorisation, or if you do not want to be authorised, you have the following options:, You can get Statistics Denmark’s Consulting team to perform the analytical task for you. , See how you commission a task with Statistics Denmark Consulting, You can commission a private consultancy that is already authorised to make the analytical task for you. For this, you need a client authorisation. , Note: , This solution is only offered to public institutions and requires that the performing consultancy has access to the data you need, or that you are granted an exemption allowing the consultancy to get access. Find further information under ‘Requirements to application for client authorisation’ below., Apply for client authorisation, To be authorised as a client, you must complete the application form at the bottom of this page. Please note that there are special requirements to the completion of specific fields in the form. Look for guidance under ‘Requirements to application for client authorisation’., Types of institutions that can be authorised, The below environments located in the Danish Realm may be considered for authorisation, if these comply with the application criteria:, The user group is defined under the framework agreement between Statistics Denmark and Danish e-infrastructure Cooperation (DeiC): Publicly funded research and analysis environments (i.e. university departments, government research institutes, ministries, government agencies etc.) as well as charitable foundations in Denmark., In the private sector, the following Danish organisations are eligible for authorisation:, Interest organisations. In this case (and in the case of enterprises), it is relevant to look at the ownership, the staff (education) as well as the tasks solved for public customers in particular. It may be necessary to make inquiries with these customers to get an opinion., Consultancies. However, consultancies cannot get access to business data. The director general may grant an exemption to consultancies allowing them to gain access to business data when carrying out fact-finding or research on business data for a public authority or an interest organisation, provided that this happens with the authority or organisation as data controller., Other enterprises may be authorised but may not get access to data that includes business data., Specifically for Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, According to the General Data Protection Regulation, the Faroe Islands and Greenland are third countries, which is significant in terms of obtaining authorisation:, The Faeroe Islands has obtained an adequacy decision by the European Commission, which means they can be approved as a secure third country. Institutions and enterprises from the Faeroe Islands can thus obtain authorisation on an equal footing with those from Denmark., Greenland has not obtained an adequacy decision, which is why Greenlandic institutions must enter into transfer agreements to obtain authorisation. Until Greenland is approved as a safe third country, authorisation can only comprise public institutions., For both the Faroe Islands and Greenland, the authorised institution must obtain approval from the Danish Data Protection Agency if it wants access to sensitive data according to the Danish Data Protection Act., Requirements to application for authorisation, In order to be eligible for authorisation, your institution must have a high and sustained focus on data security. Statistics Denmark has determined four requirements that you must be able to meet:, In the research/analysis environment, there must be a personnel manager who accepts the responsibility for the authorisation and for overseeing that the rules in the authorisation agreement are kept. This includes continuously ensuring that all persons in need of access are familiar with the rules on access to data and the rules on transfer of results., As a minimum, there must be at least three people in the environment with specific experience in handling large data volumes and solid knowledge of our data security rules. Experience may have been gained, for example, through previous access to pseudonymised data under Statistics Denmark’s microdata schemes, or experience otherwise gained with the handling of register data., For private environments, the research/analysis environment must be at least one year old to be considered for authorisation., The environment must appear from the institution website., If you are a public institution, and your research/analysis environment does not meet the requirements, you can consider commissioning an already authorised private consultancy to solve the analytical task for you. For this, you need a client authorisation. Read more under ‘Requirements to application for client authorisation’., If you have questions about the application for authorisation, please contact , FSEautorisation@dst.dk, . Please write ’Re. application for authorisation’ in the subject field., Requirements to application for Educational authorisation, To gain access to the Master’s Thesis Scheme, an Educational Authorisation is required. In order to be approved your educational institution must be affiliated with a recognized public research university in Denmark that offers Master’s degree programs concluding with a Master’s thesis., In addition, your institution must maintain a strong and continuous focus on data security. Statistics Denmark has established three requirements that must be met:, In the research/analysis environment, there must be a personnel manager who accepts the responsibility for the authorisation and for overseeing that the rules in the authorisation agreement are kept. This includes continuously ensuring that all persons in need of access are familiar with the rules on access to data and the rules on transfer of results., As a minimum, there must be at least three people in the environment with specific experience in handling large data volumes and solid knowledge of our data security rules.

The statistics on imprisonments was published for the first time for the year 2015., Statistical presentation, The statistics shed light on the number of arrests for violation of the penal code, the road traffic act and other special legislation. In the published statistics the arrests are classified into type of offence, outcome and education. Demographically the statistics are divided into age and sex., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data on imprisonments, which Statistics Denmark receive from the Central Criminal Register, are linked to data from Statistics Denmark's Population Register and Statistics Denmark's Educational Register.

The purpose of EU-SILC is to provide a statistics on income, living conditions and risk of social exclusion. Statistics Denmark only disseminate a small part of EU-SILC. Dissemination is by Eurostat primarily., The survey is conducted in all EU member states once a year following the same guidelines. In Denmark the survey has been conducted since 2004., Statistical presentation, SILC consists of data on the composition of the households and their living conditions including questions on how easy it is for the household to make ends meet and the financial burden of the housing costs. Further information is collected on health and position on the labour market etc. These interview questions are then supplemented by a lot of register based information, mainly on incomes, demographics, housing and education. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The subjective data from the interviews are combined with the register based data using the Central personal Register. To adjust for non-response bias, weights are computed and assigned to respondents. This ensures that the survey population match the Danish population on demographics and income levels. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, SILC is primarily used by Eurostat and the European Commission. Users of the statistics published in Denmark are mainly the press., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Data are based on a survey; hence there is some statistical uncertainty; especially on subgroups. In addition to sampling errors there might be a slight risk of bias. A calibration of the survey is carried out in order to limit any bias and make sure that the sample reflects the population on factors such as demographics and incomes. For the published variables the effect and risk of bias is assumed to be negligible due to the strong correlation with incomes., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The data are usually published in December or January following the interview period.

About microdata schemes

Statistics Denmark’s Research Services makes data available to authorised institutions for specific research, fact-finding and analytical tasks. Access to data can be granted under various data schemes depending on the institution or the project to which you seek access., The researcher scheme , Researchers and other analysts from authorised institutions can create a project with access to Statistics Denmark’s register data. , Read more about authorisation of institutions, The project database scheme , The project database scheme is intended for institutions that are continuously creating projects with significant overlap in data content. Under this scheme, it is not allowed to carry out research directly on the project database, and the scheme must not be used for projects or tasks that are not directly related to the purpose of the project database. Furthermore, the institution must have one or more employees at who can serve as project database managers, of whom at least one can functions as an administrator. The duties of the project database manager include population generation, data extraction etc. as well as ongoing communication with Statistics Denmark., If you want to apply for a project database to be set up, you must contact the Project database group at , FSEProjektdatabase@dst.dk, ., More on the project database scheme, An authorised institution can have a maximum of one project database. The project database is a collection of pseudonymised microdata. It is used over time for multiple projects (called subprojects) under the relevant project database scheme., For the project database, data is selected from Statistics Denmark’s databank of basic data and, if relevant, data from other sources (such as the institution’s own data). The data content in project databases is subject to the data minimisation principle, and for that reason, data in a project database must be applied in several subprojects., In the project database scheme, the project database is called the main project. Other projects in the project database scheme are subprojects of the project database. The authorised institution that owns the project database therefore owns both the main project and the subprojects in the scheme., The target group of the project database scheme is institutions that:, are authorised for microdata schemes at Statistics Denmark., have at least five active projects with significantly overlapping data., continuously extend their project portfolio with new subprojects with significant overlap in the underlying data., Terms of a project database scheme, Project databases are subject to the following terms:, The institution is required to appoint one to three experienced project database managers who will be the assigned liaison officers with Statistics Denmark. Only project database managers get access to the actual project database., The project database and subprojects are subject to the data minimisation principle., The user must pay for all costs associated with the creation, operation and maintenance of the relevant project database. Subprojects are considered regular projects and are handled and invoiced separately., You can keep a project database going for as long as it is used for active subprojects. The project database can only be preserved as long as it is used for subprojects to an extend that is consistent with the data made available in the project database. The project database can thus be limited or discontinued if Statistics Denmark estimates that this is no longer the case., The authority scheme, The authority scheme makes microdata available to Danish institutions that carry out tasks for the authorities, i.e. departments, agencies and directorates, regions and municipalities. The scheme meets the demand for ad hoc analyses with tight deadlines. , Read more about the Authority scheme,  (in Danish), Data confidentiality and access rules, Access to data is given in agreement with the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation, especially article 5(1)(c): , “Personal data shall be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed (‘data minimisation’).” , This also applies to section 10 of the Danish Data Protection Act: , “Data as mentioned in Article 9(1) and Article 10 of the General Data Protection Regulation may be processed where the processing takes place for the sole purpose of carrying out statistical or scientific studies of significant importance to society and where such processing is necessary in order to carry out these studies.” , Read more on Statistics Denmark’s Data confidentiality policy and Information security policy

Prices and price agreements

The price of a Research Services assignment is based on the time it takes to solve the part elements of the assignment. We have two types of price agreements: , fixed-price agreements and framework agreements, . You can also commission a combined fixed-price and framework agreement. Furthermore, you will be paying rent for disk space for active projects on Statistics Denmark’s servers. If you have your own-hosted server set up at Statistics Denmark, you must pay for the set-up and for routine maintenance., Table 1: Hourly rate and renting of disk space, Hourly rate for private institutions, DKK 2,299 excl. VAT, Hourly rate for public institutions*, DKK 1,674 excl. VAT (after deduction of the special contribution from the Danish e-infrastructure Cooperation via the coordinating organ for register research, KOR)., Renting of disk space, DKK 16 excl. VAT per 5 Gigabyte (GB) disk space per quarter, *For public authorised institutions, a special contribution is given towards the hourly rate from the Danish e-infrastructure Cooperation via KOR.,  , Table 2: Hourly rates and renting of disk space, Rates 2026,  , Public institutions*, Private institutions, Pricemodel for existing projects, Hourly rates, DKK 1.674 excl. VAT, DKK 2.077 excl. VAT, Pricemodel for new projects, Data packages per unit, DKK 4.400 excl. VAT, DKK 5.500 excl. VAT,  , Project access per unit, DKK 700 excl. VAT, DKK 900 excl. VAT,  , Hourly rates, DKK 1.100 excl. VAT, DKK 1.400 excl. VAT, Renting of disk space, DKK 10,8 excl. VAT per 5 Gigabyte (GB) disk space per quarter, Note that for project databases, the price for data packages is 17.600 kr. excl. VAT (public institutions)/ 22.000 kr. excl. VAT (private institutions), thus 4 times the price of projects under the researcher scheme or subprojects. , *For public authorised institutions, a special contribution is given towards the hourly rate from the Danish e-infrastructure Cooperation via KOR.,  , Research Services offers paid-for services to users of Statistics Denmark’s microdata schemes. Initially, we offer consultancy in connection with questions for clarification of an assignment. For this, we invoice the actual time used at the hourly rate in force at any time. This also applies should you decide to not proceed with the assignment. If we subsequently enter into a specific fixed-price agreement for the assignment, the service and consultancy will be included in this (within reason)., Fixed-price agreements and framework agreements, Both fixed-price agreements and framework agreements are based on the time it takes to process and deliver an assignment. The time is charged by the hourly rate in force at any time. Research Services uses standardised prices based on the average estimated time consumption for a given service assignment., Fixed-price contract, The price is determined based on an estimated time consumption for a given service. With a fixed-price agreement, you thus pay the same price for comparable services., Further on the structure of fixed-price agreements, The price of a fixed-price agreement is based on one or more of the following assignment elements. The below table shows the various elements of the assignment, which are charged on the basis of fixed-price agreements and associated time consumption., Assignment element, Time consumption, Project proposal (processing and approval hereof), 2, Extraction of one data set from register, 1.05, Extraction of two data sets from register*, 1.09, No additional time charge in case of data extraction from register <= 15 variables,  0, Additional time charge in case of data extraction from register > 15 variables,  0.5, *The price increases with 0,047 hours pr. dataset, Further, the assignment price consists of a fixed extra charge for additional services and consultancy of 20 per cent of the price of the assignment part elements, which are not necessarily in direct contact with you. Such part elements are, for example, participation in meetings etc., internal documentation, documentation requirements, invoicing etc., Data extraction from registers include time consumption for e.g. programming, pseudonymisation and control of data extractions from , Research Services databank of basic data, . The fixed price agreement may also include time consumption for processing and pseudonymisation of a population submitted to Research Services from other sources than the Research Services databank of basic data., Framework agreements, The price is variable and the service is charged according to the actual time consumption on the specific service. We invoice every hour of work commenced. If we have used less than one hour on an individual assignment, we invoice for the first hour of work commenced., Further on the structure of framework agreements, The following assignments, Research Services carries out based on a framework agreement:, Population creation as well as case control populations. The service covers counselling regarding the extraction description as well as the subsequent population creation. , Data from statistical division or Survey in Statistics Denmark. This is charged via a framework agreement based on the actual time consumption. The service includes, for example, data extraction from register in the statistical division, pseudonymisation and direct communication and consultancy, back office activities and internal communication., Data submitted from sources outside Statistics Denmark. This is charged via a framework agreement based on the actual time consumption. The service includes control and pseudonymisation of the submitted data. See estimated time consumption and prices for delivery of submitted data under , Linking other data, .,  , Part elements of an assignment, The total price of a given assignment depends on the time it takes to solve the assignment and the part elements involved. For that reason, the price may vary from one assignment to the next. For example, the price depends on how many registers that are required to create a population, or from how many registers the project requires extraction of data., See the part elements of the assignment, Project proposal, : Processing and approval. The project proposal is charged via a fixed-price agreement, which is based on a fixed time value corresponding to two hours., Population, : Population creation is charged via a framework agreement, which is based on the time it takes Research Services to create the population., Standardised data from Statistics Denmark’s databank of basic data, : This is charged via a fixed-price agreement, which is based on fixed time values per number of registers and variables., Additional services and consultancy, : Direct communication and consultancy, back office activities and internal communication. This is charged via a fixed-price agreement that is based on fixed time values depending on the scope of the assignment., Additional data from Statistics Denmark, : Data extraction from register, direct communication and consultancy, back office activities and internal communication. This is charged via a framework agreement that is based on actual time consumption., Data from other data providers, : Processing of data submitted from you or other data providers. The data processing is charged via a framework agreement that is based on actual time consumption., Special data from Statistics Denmark, : Data compiled especially for the users (not in connection with statistics). The compilation is charged via a fixed-price or framework agreement that is based on actual time consumption for compilation divided by expected sales.,  , Examples of price calculations, Example of price calculation for a new research project, The following price calculation includes processing of the project proposal as well as data extraction on demographics (BEF), educational attainment (UDDA), income (FAIK and IND) as well as employment information (DREAM). The price calculation is based on a project with full register extraction where the user creates the population. , Since Research Services rounds up to the nearest whole number due to the standardised price calculation method, the price is calculated according to the following table., Assignment element, Time consumption, Price, Project proposal, 2, Data extraction from register, 6, Data extraction from register > 15 variables, 0,  , Subtotal, 8 ,  , Additional services and consultancy (extra charge 20 per cent)*, 1 ,  , Total hours used, 9,  , Public user,  , 9 hours * 1,674.00 DKK = 15,066.00 DKK, Private user,  , 9 hours * 2,299.00 DKK = 20,691.00 DKK, *The additional service fee corresponds to 20% of the hours for processing of the project proposal, data extraction as well as other requirements (programing/data)., Please note that the price calculation does not include population creation. If Research Services should create the population, this will be carried out based on a framework agreement., Example of price calculation for a new research project enriched with data from the Danish Health Data Authority, This price calculation includes processing of the project proposal, population creation (based on a framework agreement) as well as data extraction on demographics (BEF, BEFADR, VNDS, DOD) and registrations in the National Patient Register (LPR_ADM, LPR_BES, LPR_DIAG, LPR_SKSUBE). The population consists in persons with a consumption of some specific types of medicinal products found via variables in the Danish National Prescription Registry (LMDB2005-2015). These persons must not be registered as emigrated in the register ‘Historiske vandringer’ (VNDS), meaning that they must be marked INDUD_KODE=U. Furthermore, they must not be registered in ‘Døde i Danmark’ (DOD). Moreover, the population from Statistics Denmark is transferred to the Danish Health Data Authority for enrichment with data from the Danish Pathology Register. The processing and pseudonymisation of data from the Danish Health Data Authority are not included in the price., Assignment element, Time consumption, Price, Project proposal, 2, Data extraction from register, 14, Data extraction from register > 15 variables, 0,  , Subtotal, 16 ,  , Additional services and consultancy (extra charge 20 per cent)*, 4 ,  , Total hours used, 20,  , Public user,  , 20 hours * 1,674.00 DKK = 33,480.00 DKK, Private user,  , 20 hours * 2,299.00 DKK = 45,980.00 DKK, Framework agreement for the population creation, Assignment element , Estimated time consumption**, Price, Population creation, 5, Public user,  , 5 hours * 1,674.00 kr. = 8,370.00 DKK, Private user,  , 5 hours * 2.299,00 kr. = 11,495.00 DKK, *The additional service fee corresponds to 20% of the hours for processing of the project proposal, data extraction as well as other requirements (programing/data)., **After the population is created, the time actually sepnt by Research Services is billed at the hourly rate applicable at any given time.,  , Determination of the hourly rate, The hourly rate is determined once a year based on four part elements. The final hourly rate consists in a number of part elements including a development contribution of 3 per cent., Surcharge, : Income forecast for the current year and accumulated surplus/deficit from previous years, Overhead Statistics Denmark and externally funded activities, : Joint expenses, for example for staff, rent, electricity etc. and common administration of externally funded activities, such as maintenance of data bank of basic data, development of externally funded activities etc., Overhead Research Services, : For example, authorisation of new institutions, control of transferred files, sanctioning and general development of the microdata schemes and Statistics Denmark’s Data Portal etc.,  , Other services, Renting of disk space, Projects take up space on Statistics Denmark’s servers. For that reason, we have introduced renting of disk space, so that you as a user are made aware of how much storage capacity your project takes up on Statistics Denmark’s servers. You will only pay for disk space for active projects using a storage capacity over 5 Gigabyte (GB) on the servers. An active project is defined by a minimum of one user logging on to the project within a quarter., Disk space renting is charged on a quarterly basis, and you are invoiced for all projects for which your institution is data controller. For an individual active project using a storage capacity of more than 5 GB, the institution will be charged quarterly in units of 5 GB. Disk space renting will be charged, regardless of the reason for logging onto the project and how often during a quarter., Hosted server, Statistics Denmark also offers to host your own servers, which will be located at Statistics Denmark. , Read more about requirements and prices for hosted servers ,  , FAQ on prices, We have gathered some of our frequently asked questions on prices below., FAQ on prices, Why does the price vary from one assignment to the next?, An assignment is composed of several part elements. The assignment is priced based on the part elements of the assignment. This is why the price may vary, for example depending on the number of registers used for population creation, populations from other data providers or the number of registers from which the project needs data extraction. The part elements of the assignment are described in the section “Part elements of an assignment”., The hourly rate has changed over the years – why?, You can see the changes in the hourly rates of Research Services below., All institutions, 2013, 1,248 DKK, 2012, 1,187 DKK, 2011, 1,167 DKK, 2010 2nd half, 1,197 DKK, 2010 1st half, 1,229 DKK, 2009, 1,229 DKK , 2008, 1,229 DKK, Prices after 2014, Private institutions, Other public institutions, 2024, 2,130 DKK, 1,538 DKK, 2023, 2,130 DKK , 1,568 DKK,  , 2022, 2,130 DKK, 1,568 DKK,  , 2021,  2,168 DKK, 1,735 DKK,  , 2020, 2,202 DKK, 1,745 DKK ,  , 2019,  2,202 DKK, 1,607 DKK,  , 2018, 2nd half,  1,749 DKK, 1,050 DKK,  , 2018, 1st half,  1,749 DKK, 1,050 DKK,  , 2017,  1,650 DKK, 1,050 DKK,  , 2016,  1,650 DKK, 1,050 DKK,  , 2015,  1,750 DKK, 1,050 DKK,  , 2014,  1,650 DKK, 1,050 DKK, There are various reasons for the price changes., Each year, we adjust the hourly rate for surcharge, which accumulates the surplus/deficit of previous years. Moreover, we include an income forecast for the current year, which can cause variations from one year to the next., Public institutions are not allowed to generate a profit. For that reason, Statistics Denmark regularly adjusts the hourly rates so that they reflect the actual costs and make the accounts balance., In 2014, a distinction was made between private and public institutions, when Research Services for the first time received a special contribution from the coordinating organ for register research, KOR, among others, supporting the hourly rate for public users. This accounts for the difference in price depending on whether a private or a public institution owns the project., Why must I pay for other variables to be added to my project?, Changes in an already existing project must be described in the project proposal and/or the variables documentation. Furthermore, they must be documented and the approval must be renewed in Research Services.  The only exception that does not require renewed approval is an update of an already approved population or variable., The approval requires a number of processes, which can be anything from dialogue between you and Research Services to a review of the project and its variables documentation for renewed approval of the project. The process can vary considerably depending on the project, and the time consumption up until the approval is in the range of 1-4 hours whether for new projects, updates or extensions. The price of processing a project proposal is therefore set at two hours. If the time consumption exceeds four hours, a supplementary agreement is made in the form of a framework agreement to cover the actual processing time., We encourage you to make a professional assessment of when and how often you apply for approval of project changes,, so that we can reduce the number of ongoing and minor changes., For how long is a quotation valid?, A quotation is valid for 30 days starting from the date of the quotation. After that, we recalculate the quotation at the current hourly rate., How we charge for a project database? , The charge is based on an annual contract with a fixed-price agreement that includes update of agreed register data in the project database as well as a possible framework agreement for additional services, such as deliveries from the project database to sub-projects and consultancy according to the needs of the project database., The establishment of a project database follows the same pricing guidelines as a new project. Since the project database has a longer time perspective than a project, an annual contract on updating is entered. Thus, the pricing is based on an expected average time consumption for the service., The settlement period appears from the below table. The fixed-price agreement for updating of the project database is settled together with the Q2 settlement of ‘Additional services’. ‘Additional services’ are settled quarterly., Invoiced in the calendar year yyyy, Invoiced in the calendar year, The annual contract covers, Mid-January, Mid-April, Mid-July, Mid-October, Mid-January, Data extraction, Fixed-price agreement for data, Additional services, Consumption Q4 from the previous year, Consumption Q1, Consumption Q2, Consumption Q3, Consumption Q4, Why do prices of comparable services vary?, The price of services is based on past experience and averages. Comparable services may imply small differences in the various part elements that affect the price, for example, the price of processing external data (submitted from other data providers) compared to processing of standardised data extractions from registers in Statistics Denmark’s databank of basic data. If project changes appear later in the process, the price may change based on the changes. Furthermore, the hourly rate is calculated annually, which can also affect the assignment price., What is the background for Statistics Denmark’s prices?, Statistics Denmark is the central producer of statistics in Denmark, and the costs of carrying this obligation as an authority are covered by the Danish Finance Act., The data that we collect and store can be used for scientific and statistical surveys under Statistics Denmark’s researcher scheme. Only authorised research and analysis environments are granted access to data, and we charge for making data available for the surveys., In principle, the price must cover the costs associated with performing the assignments from the initial dialogue to the final dialogue no later than 30 days after the assignment has been delivered., The price must further contribute towards the costs associated with:, Consultancy on the use of data in the individual project., Administration of the scheme, for example authorisation, Data access rights, Standardisation of register data, Development of our user services, Securing continued high data security and data confidentiality, Overhead costs, Statistics Denmark’s pricing is subject to the rules on externally funded activities in the public sector and is checked by the National Audit Office of Denmark. Income and expenditure must balance, and the income from services must not be used to fund the obligations of the authority. The financial balance is continuously monitored across a ten-year average.
