A function is the equivalent to an account in the accounting plan for municipalities and regions. Only the financial assets and liabilities are published quarterly. The current expenditure etc. is only published annually. Quarterly data are all preliminary, as the accounts of the municipalities and regions are not completed until the final accounts in May the following year. This means that corrections and account changes in the previous quarters of the year may happen., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data is delivered quarterly from the municipalities and regions' own financial management systems. Error detection is done on a micro level through error detection rules based the official accounting system. The rules are updated annually according to the notices for the municipalities and regions sent out by the Ministry the Interior.

Adding to this is a number of unspecified account items (joint purpose). Some account items are estimated to be more 'safe' than others. This can be due to the fact that they reflect reimbursements from central government and therefore possibly the subject of ministerial interest. Some parts of the accounts are thus more 'safe' on a detailed level than others. Data for the quarterly accounts are preliminary, as the accounts of the municipalities and regions are not final until May the following year., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The publication time of the quarterly accounts of the municipalities and regions is approx. 35 days, from the last day of the quarter to the publication around 5 weeks later.

They provide both a description of the economy in general and of the transactions between persons, enterprises and institutions. The national accounts also include transactions between Denmark and the rest of the world. This set of statistics was first published in 1982. Coherent annual time series are available back to 1995, while quarterly figures are available from the first quarter of 1999 onwards., Statistical presentation, National accounts by sectors provide an overview of the activities and the development of the Danish economy. They contain key indicators such as the gross value added (GDP) and figures for private consumption, investments, exports and imports, earnings and property incomes as well as the profit in six main sectors (non-financial corporations, financial corporations, general government, households, non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH) and the external sector) and productivity in the industries. They also include figures for the many sub-classifications, which facilitates analysis of various cross-sections of the national economy. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Basically, all economic statistics available are used for the national accounts. When the first estimate for a given period is prepared, it is done before all source data for the period is available. The calculations are based on the structure of the last final national accounts, which is projected with indicators from e.g. the business cycle statistics. When new source data becomes available, it is incorporated in the national accounts at set intervals. Three years after a given period, the national accounts are regarded as final., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The purpose of these statistics is to clarify how income is generated as a result of the productive activity in society, which is then redistributed before it provides a basis for demand for goods and services for consumption and investment. The institutional sectors are relevant to everyone concerned with socio-economic conditions. The field ranges from the financial, economic and fiscal ministries’ use of the national accounts to common interest in knowledge about the trend of the economy. The press is particularly interested in the figures for the household sector. , Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The ability of the national accounts to describe the economic reality accurately depends partly on the uncertainty associated with the sources and partly on the model assumptions guiding their preparation. It is possible to draw up some parts more accurately than others, as better source data is available. The first estimates of national accounts for a period will be more uncertain than the final version, which is released after three years, as revisions are made regularly as new source data becomes available., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The first version of the quarterly sector accounts is released 90 days after the end of the quarter. In connection with the publication of the fourth quarter at the end of March, the first version of the annual sector accounts is also published. Almost three years after the end of the year, the final annual and quarterly national accounts are published. The sector accounts are published punctually., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The national accounts are prepared according to international guidelines and, as a result, they will be comparable across countries. The current guidelines were implemented in 2014 and have been applied for revision of the national accounts back to 1966, however 1971 for institutional sectors. They reflect all parts of the national economy, so that most economic statistics contain figures that have their counterparts in the national accounts, which are e.g. fully consistent with the balance of payments and general government.

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.

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.
