Data on assets that can not be linked to persons is not included. Data Wealth held abroad by Danes is likely lacking as well. For discretionary reasons the register is top-coded with a maximum wealth of DKK 2.11 bio. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, These statistics are published approximately 12 months after the end of the reference year. Publications are released on time without delays, as stated in the release calendar. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Comparability over time varies depending on the wealth component.

In 2023–2025, there is a major data break due to the transition to new assessment systems, and the coverage of unlisted shares has gradually improved since they were included in the statistics from 2020. Apart from these breaks there is good consistency over time. Caution should be exercised when using the statistics for international comparisons., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published yearly in a Danish press release, at the same time as the tables are updated in the StatBank.

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.

Classification of education (DDU), completed educations, v1:2026

Name: , DDU_AUDD_V1_2026 , Description: , DDU stands for Den Danske Uddannelsesklassifikation and is the Danish classification system for all educations in Denmark. Statistics Denmark operates the classification in cooperation with The Ministry of Higher Education and Science (UFM) as well as the Ministry of Children and Education (BUVM). The classification covers both regulated and private educations and serves as a national standard for organising, describing and comparing the different possibilities for educations within Denmark’s educational system. All educations in DDU have a unique four-digit completed educations code, called AUDD-code, e.g. 4443: Miller. The education is placed in four groups in a hierarchical structure, which categorises the educations based level, differences in content and kinship: , Main area, A one-digit classification which describes the level of education at an aggregated level , Main group, A two-digit classification that represents the element of a legal or functional difference between the main areas in the education types within the same overall educational level. For example, distinctions can be made between vocational bachelors, academic bachelors and other medium cycle further educations within the main area=6,’’Medium cycle further education’’. , Middle group, A three-digit classification and the first level in the classification of education where a division is made based on the content differences of the educational programs. Here, the education- and admission regulations are included. , Sub group, A four-digit classification, which gives a more detailed content based division of educations within the same middle group. So far, three new statbank tables based on DDU have been published: - UDDALL10: , Educational activity by region, education (DDU), age, sex and status , - EUD34: , Educational activity at upper secondary vocational educations by education (DDU), age, ancestry, national origin, sex, status and education part , - KVEU20: , Participation in supplementary courses by field of education (DDU), region, age, sex, points in time and unit, Valid from: , February 1, 2026 , Office: , Befolkning og Uddannelse , Contact: , Arancha F.
