The agricultural sales index illustrates price trends for both vegetable and animal sales products and services. A part of the statistics have been calculated since 1956, but since 1970 the most widely definition has been used, which includes horticulture, fur production and products from bees and wild game. , Statistical presentation, The Statistics contains for almost all items, monthly, quarterly and yearly information of agricultural prices, as well on sale products as on most products used in the intermediate consumption including capital formation.

The basic data and results of the statistics are also applied to other statistical areas in Denmark Statistics, for example, for the calculation of the gross income of agriculture as used in the National Accounts., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, On some products, i.e. horticultural products, qualities and types are several and dynamic. It makes it a little difficult to be sure on the representatively on the prices followed. Concerning input prices based on general price statistics, the situation in agriculture are maybe not fully reflected. Some indices on volumes are indirectly measured based on values and price indices. This method can lead to inaccuracy. The declaration on content on Economic Account for Agriculture and these on animal production includes more information on possible inaccuracy. Because of the very different picture of sources, margins of statistical errors can not be calculated. However, for main output products, i.e. milk and meat, the coverage and accuracy are close to 100 per cent. Prices on cereals and feeding stuff (concentrates) are based on more that 70 per cent of total volume, which ensure high reliability. In general, the accuracy is highest on sales product and less high on intermediate consumption and goods for capital formation., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are usually published without any delay in relation to the published release times., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics are comparable in their current form from 2005 onwards. The price indices are re-based approximately every five years, most recently in 2024 with base year 2020=100, which limits full comparability over long time periods. As of 2025, a new method for collecting fertiliser prices has been introduced, resulting in a data break affecting only the fertiliser price index. The overall price index for agricultural input consumption is still considered comparable over time. The statistics follow common European guidelines and are therefore comparable with similar statistics from other EU countries., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published annually in a Danish press release.

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.

The main focus is on short-term economic fluctuations, making it particularly useful for business cycle analysis, assessing economic conditions, and as a basis for economic models and forecasts. The statistics describe the economy as a whole, including transactions between households, businesses, and institutions, as well as transactions between Denmark and abroad. It has been compiled since 1988 and is fully comparable from first quarter 1990., Statistical presentation, The quarterly national accounts provide an overview of short-term activities and developments in the Danish economy. The quarterly national accounts include figures for key aggregates such as gross domestic product (GDP), private consumption, public consumption, investment, exports and imports, employment and wages, as well as profits and productivity across different industries. In addition, quarterly figures are available for a wide range of subcategories that can shed light on business cycle developments in the economy., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The quarterly national accounts are compiled based on almost all short-term statistics that describe sub-areas of the economy and employment. When the first estimate for a given period is prepared, not all information for that period is yet available. The calculations are therefore based on the structure of the recent final national accounts, which are projected using indicators from, for example, short-term statistics. As new sources become available, they are gradually incorporated into the quarterly national accounts according to a fixed schedule., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The quarterly national accounts are relevant for anyone working with short-term and cyclical macroeconomic conditions. The use of the quarterly accounts ranges by the economic ministries for planning, analysis, forecasting, and modelling purposes, to similar uses by business organisations and other interest groups, as well as for the public’s interest in understanding the structure and development of the economy., Feedback from users is continuously evaluated through the Economic Statistics user Committee, user group meetings, direct contact with users, and through international forums., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The quarterly national accounts’ ability to accurately describe the economic reality depends partly on the uncertainty associated with the sources. Some areas are measured more precisely than others due to better source data. Initial releases may lack data or be preliminary, and errors in sources or their combination with the national accounts system can affect reliability. Unforeseen economic shocks can increase uncertainty, but the accounts system’s consolidation of information helps reduce it., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The first version of the quarterly national accounts is published 50 days after the end of the quarter, and a revised version is published 90 days after the end of the quarter. In connection with the publication of the fourth quarter at the end of February, the first version of the annual national accounts is also released. The national accounts are published on schedule., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The quarterly national accounts follow international guidelines (ESA 2010, implemented in 2014) and are comparable across countries. They cover all parts of the economy, and most economic statistics have their counterpart here. However, caution is advised when comparing with other statistics due to differences in definitions and coverage. The national accounts are fully consistent with the balance of payments and general government., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The quarterly national accounts statistics are published in the StatBank under , Economy, and National accounts.

The figures for the EU countries are collected from EU’s statistical office, Eurostat, which publishes the figures on their homepage on a quarterly basis. Eurostat collects information from each member state’s national statistical institution. The U.S. figures are collected by the U.S. Department of Labour, Bureau of Labor Statistics, which publishes their figures on their own homepage. , The international labour cost indices are not directly comparable with the national indices of average earnings., Statistical presentation, The indices are published on a quarterly basis to show developments of the Danish and other countries labour costs in an international setting. The figures from EU member countries are based on EU-harmonized regulations. It is expected that the harmonization will extend gradually over time. The numbers are not fully comparable to the Danish national indices of average earnings, which are collected and published quarterly.

This is especially true in the case of the indices on the more aggregate level, such as for the whole business economy or the largest sectors of economic activity. For the smaller sectors of economic activity, the reliability is for natural reasons lower., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The indices are normally published without any delay approximately 80 days after the turn of the quarter being measured.

The primary data source to these statistics is the Student Register with data from 1970 onwards. In addition, the Qualification Register is used. Since the Student Register is the primary source for information, the Attainment Register gives nearly complete coverage from 1970 onwards. There is, however information before this time coming from The Qualification Register., Statistical presentation, The Attainment Register gathers information about the highest completed education for each single person based on the information in the Student Register and the Qualification Register. It is a longitudinal register based on an assessment of each person's education "career" and shows how the qualification career develops over time. The register is formed by interpreting the qualification career (skills in chronological order) in order to determine a change in the skill level. Once a year a status register is also produced with the population and information about education the 30. September the current year., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The Attainment Register is a longitudinal register based on a assessment of each persons education career in The Student Register and The Qualification Register. It shows how the qualification career develop over time, and it is updated once a year. The status register is produced on the basis of the longitudinal register and contains information about the population and their highest completed education per. September 30 the given year., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, There is a great variety of users. The information is generally used in connection with describing the population or sections hereof. The register is used in connection with status reports for other statistical fields. Data reports are thus submitted for (mainly on the population's highest level of education completed) a wide number of integration registers operated by Statistics Denmark. Furthermore, the register is frequently used in connection with external service activities order by Danish ministries, municipalities, research institutions, professional organization, private enterprises, private individuals and, not least, requests made by the news media., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The Accuracy and reliability vary depending on the source of information. More than 80 pct. of the information comes from administrative sources, such as student systems of educational institutions, which are highly reliable. These sources have priority one when the registry is created and will be used if there is information from one of these sources. Other sources are not so closely linked to the education programs and will often be less reliable. Examples of these sources are the surveys of immigrants' education and the population and housing census in 1970, based on self-reported education. In addition, information is imputed for persons who do not respond in the study of immigrants' education. The imputed data is useful in overall statistical statements, but cannot be considered as valid information on individuals' educational attainment. , In connection with the annual reports from the education institutions there is information which also relate to previous years. These delayed notifications concern particularly the last year., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published around 6 months after the end of the reference time. The statistics are usually published without delay in relation to the scheduled date., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The longitudinal register is produced once a year and the entire period is thus calculated in the same way. Based on the longitudinal register, a status register is produced with the population per. September 30 that year. In the event of significant changes in the way the longitudinal register is produced, the status registers for all years will be reproduced. It happens that an education changes level from one year to the next. Typically, this will not cause a reproduction of all the status registers and therefore affect comparability over time. Labor force survey provide information too Eurostat about the educational attainment level and this is these figures that are used for international comparison of the attainment level., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, Statistics are published once a year in "News from Statistics Denmark" . At the same time data are released in the Statbank and on the homepage: , Homepage, Information also appears in the annual publications Statistical 10-Year Review and the Statistical Yearbook., Read more about accessibility and clarity
