About microdata schemes

Denmark's Data Portal 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

Population description

In the project proposal, you must describe the population shortly and precisely (without technical terms, details or data specifications), and document who creates the population. You do so under the population description in the DDP App. , Private institutions are able to create the population themselves and get a full register extraction if the project is surveying a major group of entities. To get a full register extraction, private institutions must give reasons for this need based on the size of the population. ,  , When Denmark’s Data Portal must create the population, If Denmark’s Data Portal is going to create the population for your project, this is done on the basis of a framework agreement. Under the population description in the DDP App, you describe the population shortly and precisely (without involving technical details) and add that Statistics Denmark is going to create the population. When Denmark’s Data Portal have received the project proposal, they will contact you about the creation of the population. , Examples of population descriptions:, `The population consists of all persons who have been hospitalised with asthma, which is matched with five controls on sex and birth year per case. The controls must be alive and be residing in Denmark on the index data of the case. Statistics Denmark creates the population.', `The population consists of persons who have had residence permits as refugees, and family members reunited with refugees. Statistics Denmark creates the population.', Framework agreement for extraction description and population creation , Denmark’s Data Portal prepares a framework agreement, which covers counselling regarding the extraction description as well as the subsequent population creation. Based on the framework agreement, we prepare a detailed extraction description in collaboration with the relevant institution. Denmark’s Data Portal uses the extraction description for the final population creation. Based on the institution's criteria and needs regarding the population, we give advice on which registers, variables and variable values that are necessary to create the wanted population. The final extraction description is attached as an appendix to the project proposal. When the extraction description is ready, Denmark’s Data Portal creates the population for the project., How to make the extraction description for the population?, The following elements must be uncovered for the extraction description:, Registers or external data to be used, Periods, including if you want to use registers that are updated annually, quarterly or monthly (for example, BEF (population) is updated quarterly), Conditions based on specific variables and delimitation on specific variable values (for example, if the population must be delimited by age from 15-76 years), How registers must be linked (if several registers are applied), including linking based on specific variables and, if relevant, key register,  , Especially about case control populations , Denmark’s Data Portal uses the term 'case control populations' for analyses where cases (e.g. exposed) are compared with a reference group (controls). The term is used regardless of the type of study. Under the population description in the DDP App, enter a short and precise description of the criteria for cases and controls in the case control population, without involving technical details (including registers and variables). , In collaboration with Denmark’s Data Portal, a detailed extraction description of the case control population is prepared. The final extraction description is attached as an appendix to the project proposal. Please note that the DDP App only creates case control populations based on date and register criteria, not based on more complicated statistical methods such as for example Propensity Score Matching., How to make the extraction description for the case control population?, The following elements must be uncovered for the extraction description: , What characterises cases:, Registers, periods, conditions, and how registers are linked (see description below), If relevant, index date (for example date of first completed vocational education, first hospital discharge date), What characterises the pool of possible controls:, Registers to be used for creating the pool of possible controls, Inclusion and exclusion criteria based on specific variables and variable values (for example sex = 2 (women), municipality = 607 (Fredericia), residence in the period 01-01-2020 until 31-12-2023), Specific criteria for the case control population including:, How many controls are extracted per case?, Whether cases are allowed to be controls of other cases, If controls are allowed to change status in the inclusion period, Extraction with or without replacement: , is a control allowed to be used as a control for more than one case (replacement)?, or can a control only be a control for a specific case (without replacement)?

55,000 enumerators complete Moroccan Census 2024

Monday 30 September marked the final day of the 2024 General Census of Population and Housing in Morocco. , 4 October 2024 11:00 , By , Klaus Munch Haagensen, Throughout September, an impressive team of 55,000 enumerators, supervisors, and controllers - easily recognizable by their burgundy-coloured caps - took on the challenging task of gathering crucial data from every household across the country., The census was the seventh of its kind., Data were collected from households across the nation, including urban, rural, and even nomadic populations. The census aimed to gather comprehensive information on the demographic, social, and economic conditions of Morocco’s population. This operation also extended to housing conditions, providing essential data for national development planning., Wide Scope and Participation, The census included all residents within the Kingdom, regardless of nationality or residence status. This included individuals in ordinary households, nomads, the homeless, as well as those residing in institutions like hospitals and prisons. Foreigners living in Morocco were also counted, except for members of the diplomatic corps., To conduct the operation, over 55,000 individuals were mobilized as enumerators, controllers, and supervisors. Participants underwent extensive online and face-to-face training, ensuring that they were well-equipped to handle the intricacies of data collection., The census covered a range of important demographic and socio-economic factors, from household composition and education to health coverage, employment, and access to essential services. A dual questionnaire system was used: a short version for the entire population and a more detailed one for 20% of households., Harnessing Technology for Precision, For the first time, the census utilized advanced technology, including the deployment of 55,000 electronic tablets. These devices, co-financed by the Ministry of National Education, were key to ensuring accurate and timely data collection. The tablets were securely managed, with encryption systems in place to safeguard the collected data., The census also utilized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map the entire country, ensuring that no areas were overlooked. This involved geo-referencing 37,109 census districts and over 4.1 million buildings in urban areas. The mapping work not only facilitated efficient data collection but also provided valuable insights into the spatial distribution of Morocco's population and economic activities., Supporting Development and Strategic Planning, The data gathered through the census will be instrumental in shaping Morocco's future policies. The information will help authorities assess the needs of the population and allocate resources in areas such as education, healthcare, employment, and housing. Additionally, it will contribute to the monitoring of sustainable development goals and the evaluation of public policies at both the national and local levels., The High Commission for Planning, which oversaw the census, emphasized that this massive statistical operation is not just about counting people but also about understanding Morocco’s social fabric. The data will provide critical insights into the country's demographic trends, migration patterns, literacy rates, and languages spoken, helping to guide long-term strategic planning., The budget for the Census 2024 is estimated to MAD 1.46 billion - the equivalent to around 135 million Euro., Transparency and Security, In line with international standards, the census maintained strict confidentiality of personal data. The High Commission for Planning assured the public that the information collected would be used solely for statistical purposes and not for legal or economic enforcement. The use of encrypted systems and secure data transmission methods further guaranteed the protection of respondents' privacy., Looking Forward, Now that data collection has concluded, the next phase involves processing and analyzing the information, with preliminary results expected in the coming months., The 2024 General Population and Housing Census will serve as a foundational tool for planning, allowing the Kingdom to address challenges and opportunities in the future., Statistical cooperation between Morocco and Denmark, For the past five years, Statistics Denmark has collaborated with Morocco's Haut-Commissariat au Plan (HCP), fostering a valuable exchange of best practices in statistics and digitalization. This partnership has involved joint efforts in IT, data management, and data quality improvement. During the census kick-off press conference in August, Moroccan Chief Statistician, His Excellency Minister Lahlimi, emphasized that the success of the highly digitalized RGPH 2024 would not have been possible without this vital cooperation., The collaboration between HCP and Statistics Denmark is financed by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the Strategic Sector Cooperation Programme., You can read more about the project between HCP and Statistics Denmark here: , https://www.dst.dk/en/consulting/projects/morocco-2024-2026,  , Source: This news article is written by Klaus Munch Haagensen based on information from the HCP web site.
