Furthermore, the survey analyses the social- and health-care related services administered by municipalities. These services include care for the elderly, dental services for children and young people and special institutions for children and young people etc. The social resources survey includes public and privately owned institutions. The statistics are published for the first time in 1972 but have been changed over time due to changes in legislation an user needs., Statistical presentation, Social resources is a yearly measurement of social services delivered by municipalities concerning care for elderly, adults and children and young people receiving social benefits . The data are published for Denmark as a whole. Some data are further more grouped by regions or municipalities. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data are collected yearly from municipalities from six questionnaires. Data are validated against previously collected information and controlled for large variances over time.

Some data concerning age distribution are imputed where municipalities have only registered total data. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistics are primarily of interests for the central government and various government boards and are used for estimating and planning capacity and occupancy rates within social services. Core actors and users of the survey are actively involved in adjusting the content each year which means that user needs are taken into account., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The survey is a full-scale census based on responses from all municipalities. In some cases it is difficult for the municipalities to provide the correct data from their systems or they change their way of reporting data. In these cases data received might be less accurate of vary over time. A certain statistical uncertainty is caused by municipalities difficulties with estimating different services and caused by different administrative practices between municipalities. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, Most of the information are collected for one single week in April depending on Easter. In some cases data are collected for the entire previous year. A Danish press release and a number of corresponding tables (RESI01, RESP01, RESDHJCE, RESMAD, RESANDHJ, RESPLEJV, RESPRVHJ, RESTAND) are published at the end of November then same year. The rest of the tables (RESFAMPL, RESHJMTR, RESLED, RESFDPJ, RESSBU2) are published in the Statbank at the end of March the following year. These statistics are normally published without delay, with reference to the announced time of publication in the release calendar., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The survey goes back to 1972. However, due to yearly changes the version used in 1972 has little in common with the one used today. Furthermore, due to the municipal reform there was a break in times series in 2006 and 2007.

Fixed assets are compiled in accordance with the guidelines in the European System of Accounts, ESA 2010, and are based on the national accounts series for investment. Fixed assets according to ESA 2010 were published for the first time in September 2014., Statistical presentation, The statistics on fixed assets comprise six variables that are compiled both at current prices and in chain-linked values. Exceptions are other changes in the volume of non-financial assets, which are not compiled in chain-linked values, and revaluations, which exist only in current prices. The six variables are: Gross capital stock of fixed assets, Net capital stock of fixed assets, Gross fixed capital formation, Consumption of fixed capital, Other changes in the volume of non-financial assets and Revaluations., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Fixed assets are compiled using gross fixed capital formation, historical stocks and assumptions on service lives and depreciation.

The principal figures, i.e. without geographic distributions, is comparable back to 1998 and onwards, but historical surveys for the construction activity is available back to 1916., Statistical presentation, The quarterly construction statistics is a measurement of all construction activity demanding a building permit, stated in aggregated floor area in square meters and number of dwellings. The statistics are grouped by phase of construction, type of builder, type of building project and geographically, municipalities, regions and province. The statistics are published in the newsletter Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik (in Danish only) and in the Statbank., The COVID-19 crisis should not have an impact on this statistic.

The main source of inaccuracy is the delays in the municipality's data registrations in the Central Register of Buildings and Dwellings. The estimates made by Statistics Denmark attempt to address this problem. The model estimate the delays for the latest 18 months and revises the figures in respect hereof. The estimate is encumbered with uncertainty, because there is not a steady pattern in the size and causes of the delays. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics of construction are published quarterly (monthly as well as quarterly statistics).

In particular, this is the case in relation to emission of climate gasses, where all countries show improvement in the relation between emission and value added.
