Contact info, Population and Education , Dorthe Larsen , +45 23 49 83 26 , DLA@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, The Population 2024 , Previous versions, The Population 2020, The Population 2019, The Population 2017, The Population 2016, The Population 2014, The purpose of the population statistics is to focus on the size, composition and development of the population living in Denmark. The statistics create a basis for a number of analyses on demography and society and are used as a basis for planning tasks on a national, regional and municipal level. In their basic form, the statistics have been compiled since 1769 but have undergone a series of changes as society developed and legislation followed. Most of the present table series in Statbank Denmark comprise data from 2007 and forward, while a few of these go back further., Statistical presentation, The population statistics are usually a quarterly aggregation of the population living in Denmark broken down by e.g. sex, age, ancestry, marital status and municipality of residence. In connection with COVID-19, however, the number of deceased persons was aggregated on a weekly basis broken down by date of death, age bracket and province. The population statistics show the population in figures at the reference date in terms of persons, households and families. The statistics also show changes in the population, such as births, deaths and migrations etc., in the period between the two reference dates. Similarly, the statistics contain information about fertility, life expectancy and divorce rate. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for the statistics is collected on a daily basis from the Civil Registration System (CPR) by means of a system-to-system solution. The civil registration number and the updating of residence information and marital status information etc. is required for a vast number of public services, which serves as continuous validation of the content of the register. The number of immigrants, descendants, households, families, marriages and divorces is assessed on the basis of data from the Civil Registration System. It is also used to calculate e.g. fertility rates, life expectancy and divorce rates. In addition, data is applied from the Birth Register and the Cause of Death Register from the Danish Health Data Authority from which data is collected annually., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, These statistics are relevant for municipalities, regions, ministries, other government organisations and private companies in analyses of a number of conditions of society and as a basis for planning of e.g. schools, roads, facilities and services for the elderly etc. Statistics Denmark also uses the basic data and results of the statistics for a vast number of other assessments., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The statistics are based on the population registered in the Civil Registration System (CPR). Since correct registration in CPR is a condition for being able to lead a normal life in Denmark, the general quality and reliability of the register is regarded as very high. Failure to report immigrations and emigrations means that the published population is considered to be overestimated by 10,000 people or 0.14 per cent., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are usually published one and a half months after the end of the reference period. The statistics are released without delay according to the scheduled dates of publication. The weekly publication of the number of deaths is released five days after the reference week. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Denmark bases its population statistics on an administrative register, which also applies for a few other countries, whereas many countries take censuses every five or ten years. The population figure for the period 1971 and onwards is based on the same source, i.e. the Civil Registration System (CPR). The population figure from before this period is based on censuses., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in “Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik” (in Danish). Figures for the population and its movements are published in Statbank Denmark. In addition, the figures are included in the publications , Befolkningens udvikling, and , Indvandrere i Danmark, (both in Danish with summaries in English).

The consumer price index has been calculated since 1914, but there are estimated figures for the development in consumer prices back to 1872. From January 1967 the index has been calculated on a monthly basis., Statistical presentation, The consumer price index shows the development of prices for goods and services bought by private households in Denmark. Thus, the index also covers foreign households' consumption expenditure in Denmark, but not Danish households' consumption expenditure abroad. The index shows the monthly changes in the costs of buying a fixed basket of goods, the composition of which is made up in accordance with the households' consumption of goods and services. The consumer price indices divided by group of households show the price development for different households. , The price indices for April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December 2020 and January, February, March, April, May and June 2021 are more uncertain than usual, as the non-response rate has been significantly larger than normal and some businesses have been shut down due to COVID-19., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The consumer price index is calculated on the basis of 23,000 prices collected from approx. 1,600 shops, companies and institutions throughout Denmark. Most prices are by far collected monthly. The data material received is examined for errors, both by computer (using the so called HB-method) and manually. The different goods and services, which are included in the consumer price index, are first grouped according to approx. 500 elementary aggregates for which elementary aggregate indices are calculated. The elementary aggregate indices are weighted together into sub-indices that are in turn aggregated into the total consumer price index. In calculating a price index it is assumed that the baskets of goods that are compared are identical, also with respect to the quality of the goods. Mainly indirect quality adjustment methods are being applied in the consumer price index in connection with changes in the sample. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The consumer price index is generally viewed as a reliable statistic based on the views of users., Important users are among others the Ministry of Finance, The Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Interior, The Danish Central Bank and private banks and other financial organizations., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, No calculation has been made of the uncertainty connected with sampling in the consumer price index as the sample is not randomly drawn, but the quality of the consumer price index is accessed to be high., In addition to the "general" uncertainty connected with sampling, there are a number of sources of potential bias in the consumer price index. One source is the consumers substitution between goods and shops and another source is changes in the sample (se chapter regarding "Non-sampling error")., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The consumer price index is published on the 10th or the first working day thereafter, following the month in which the data was collected. , The statistics are published without delay in relation to the scheduled date., The consumer price indices divided by group of households are published twice a year., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The consumer price index is related to the European Union harmonized consumer price index (HICP) and to the index of net retail prices. From January 2001, the only difference between the national consumer price index and the HICP is the coverage of goods and services, as owner-occupied dwellings is only recorded in the consumer price index and not in the HICP. The consumer price index is also related to the index of net retail prices. The two indices comprise the same groups of goods and services and are calculated according to the same methodology. Consequently, the only difference between the two indices is the price concept used, as indirect taxes and VAT are subtracted in the index of net retail prices, and the weighting., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published monthly in a Danish press release and in the StatBank under , Consumer Price Index, ., Read more about accessibility and clarity

It is used, among other things, for regulation of building contracts, and for following the economic conjuncture in the construction industry. The statistics have been compiled in various forms since 1959, but in its current form the indices for earth work, asphalt work, concrete structures, and iron structures are comparable from 1976 and onwards. The index for roads is comparable from 1996 and onwards., Statistical presentation, The Construction cost indices for civil engineering projects shows trends in prices for work performed by different contractors in civil engineering projects: Earth work, asphalt work, concrete structures, iron structures, operating index, and sub-indices for Freight transport by road, and Equipment and machinery. Trends in costs for construction of roads are also monitored based on a weighing of indices for earthwork, asphalt work, concrete structures and iron structures., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The indices are calculated on the basis of information from the Standardised index of average earnings, Price index for domestic supply, the Producer price index for services, and Net price index., For all indices, sub-indices for labor costs and main cost groups are calculated. These sub-indices are weighed together to form the main indices. The weights reflect the shares of labor costs, material costs and equipment costs of the total costs of performing civil-engineering projects. The weights are based on an analysis of actual, completed civil engineering projects., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The purpose of the Construction cost indices for civil engineering projects is to reflect the development in the costs of civil-engineering projects. It is mainly used for regulation of building contracts. The indices are utilized primarily by construction organizations, contractors, building owners, craftsmen, lawyers and public authorities., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Overall the statistics are assessed to be representative for the general trends in costs of civil engineering projects in Denmark. The weight basis is based on an analysis of actual civil engineering projects. Changes in the typical use of materials, unusual price developments etc. may therefore affect the index' accuracy. The weight basis was last updated in 2025 with 2021 as reference period and is deemed representative for typical civil engineering work., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published quarterly approximately 70 days after the end of the quarter, i.e. at the beginning of March (4th quarter), June (1st quarter), September (2nd quarter) and December (3rd quarter). Yearly statistics (four quarter averages) are also published in connection with the 4th quarter publication. The statistics are usually published without delay in relation to the scheduled date. , Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The first cost index for road fund work was compiled for March 1959 and the index for motorway work was compiled for the first time for March 1967., The indices have since then changes both weights and calculation method several times, thus they are not directly comparable over time when going back to 1959., The Norwegian statistical agency /(Statistics Norway) produce a cost index for road construction which is comparable to the Danish indices., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published i StatBank Denmark under the subject , Indices for the construction sector, .

Documentation of statistics: Childcare before school start

Contact info, Population and Education, Social Statistics , Jens Bjerre , +45 29 16 99 21 , jbe@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Childcare before school start 2024 , Previous versions, Childcare before school start 2023, Childcare before school start 2022, Childcare before school start 2021, Childcare before school start 2020, Childcare before school start 2019, Childcare before school start 2018, Childcare before school start 2017, Childcare before school start 2016, The purpose of the statistics Childcare Before Starting School is to shed light on the extent of and the resources used for childcare in day care services for children below school age. The statistics are used to compare the allocation of resources across municipalities. Data is available dating back to 1943, but in its current form, the statistics are comparable from 2015 onwards, when the method of calculation was changed to full-time units., Statistical presentation, The statistics provide an annual overview of the number of enrolled children and the number of staff with pedagogical responsibilities in municipal and independent day care institutions as well as pool scheme institutions and municipal day care. Both children and staff are measured in full-time equivalents (FTEs)., The statistics also include staffing ratios, calculated as the ratio between children and staff. The ratios are gross staffing levels, meaning that all working hours are included, including time for planning and parent meetings. Adjustments are made for parental leave, substitutes are included, and both pedagogical leaders and centrally based support staff are part of the calculation., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Information on enrolled children and employees are obtained primarily from registration in municipalities through the municipalities' and regions' payroll office. Data is examined for errors and all municipalities validate their data in dialogue with Statistics Denmark., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, There are different and diverse users of the statistics. The Danish Ministries use the statistics to compare the resource allocation to childcare in different municipalities and to develop policies on child care. Interest organizations, such as the National Association of Pedagogues (BUPL), the National Associations of Municipalities (KL) and The Association of Parents (FOLA) use the statistics to assess the service level in the childcare area. Data has been collected on an agreement between Statistics Denmark and the Ministry of Children and Education., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The inventory for 2024 has information from all 98 municipalities. The accuracy is affected by errors in municipal registrations and whether keys for distributing staff in age groups 0-2 and 3-5 years in 0-5 year institutions are correct. Employees and children from private institutions are not included in the statistics, because of an unrealistic high or low ratio of children pr. employee in such institutions. Moreover uncertainty comes from single registration errors that do not give systematic errors in the calculation., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published approx. ten months after the end of the reference year. The statistics are published without delay in relation to the pre-announced release date in the release calendar., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Statistic on childcare can be dated back to 1943. From 1975 it was the number of children enrolled in the age groups 0-2 years and 3-6 years. Until 2004, the date of measurement was a day in spring, but from 2004 it becomes the first of October. As of 2015, children and staff are measured as full-time units. This gives a lower number of children and staff compared to before 2015. Figures from before 1983 can be found in statistical yearbooks, while figures from 1983 onwards can be found at the Statbank. Statistics on childcare do not have common guidelines across countries., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published in a Danish press release, at the same time as the tables are updated in the StatBank. In the StatBank, statistics on the number of children enrolled in institutions, pedagogical employees, the ratio between children and employees and the number of institutions can be found under the subject , Childcare, .
