Registers and reference types

Statistics Denmark has gathered a vast series of historical register data in our databank of basic data, which users can access via the platform DDP App. Denmark’s Data Portal manages the databank of basic data and handles access to the platform, support, etc. Most registers in the databank are updated at least once a year in connection with release of the register-based statistics (, see Scheduled releases, ). , The data safari and the List of registers and variables (below) both show the registers in DDP App, and here you can see variables for the individual registers. The documentation of variables is available in Statistics Denmark’s , documentation system, ., Go to Data safari , Go to List of registers and variables (in Danish),  , Overview of rerun registers (in Danish), Genkørte registre 2025-4. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2025-3. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2025-2. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2025-1. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2024-4. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2024-3. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2024-2. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2024 - 1. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2023 - 4. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2023 - 3. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2023 - 2. kvt (pdf) , Genkørte registre 2023 - 1. kvt (pdf), Genkørte registre 2022 (pdf),  , Reference types, Registers in the basic data overview are compiled by means of different reference types. Next to each register in the basic data overview, you can see which reference type a register has: ’Status’, ’Statusperiode’ (status period), ’Forløb’ (longitudinal) or ’Hændelse’ (incident)., Status, The reference type shows the status for a given date. For example, LONN (structure of earnings), which shows what a citizen earns as of the register date (e.g. 31 December 2021). Or BEF, which shows the population as of the quarter date (including status of residence, age, family, etc.)., Data definition: Clear status as of a given date. The population delimitation and all data content is focused on the date., Status period, This reference type shows the period status, where the population is delimited as of a given date, but the variables contain summed up data for a specific period. For example, IND, which contains the labour income for a year (the period appears from ’Opdateringsfrekvens’ (update frequency) in the basic data overview). Other examples of status period registers: PERSBEST (board members and managers), MFR (medical birth register), HANDICB (financial support for disability cars), DMRB (motor vehicles). It is not always easy to see what is being summed up., Data definition: The population delimitation is made as of a given date, but the content of the variables is accumulated over a given period. The period cannot be deduced from dates in microdata, but from the indicated period (shown under ‘Opdateringsfrekvens’ (update frequency)) – meaning that content in for example amounts, volumes, quantities etc. is aggregated over the indicated period (e.g. a quarter, a year)., Longitudinal, Here, data covers a longitudinal study. There will always be just one version of the register available. For example, UDD, which contains Highest educational attainment. Or BEFADR, which is an address key register (where e.g. 1.4m addresses changed key on 1 January 2007 in connection with the local government reform). When a longitudinal register is updated, the individual dataset is updated. This is why there is always only one dataset for a longitudinal register., Data definition: The definition of longitudinal data is that data contains a start date and an end date., Incident, Here, data covers an incident. For example, UDFK, which contains primary and lower secondary school marks (does not include a date but a school year), or OPHGIN (basis of right of residence for immigrants). When a longitudinal register is updated, the individual dataset is updated with new incidents. This is why there is always only one dataset., Data definition: The definition of incidents is first and foremost that data contains a date - only one date - for the occurrence of the incident, and will usually also have one incident type attached., Documentation for the use of registers and data packages, Statistics Denmark has prepared a memo describing the coherence between several of the most used registers in Statistics Denmark’s microdata scheme and their connection with the published statistics., The social statistics registers in Statistics Denmark consist of comprehensive data collections, which have been built and extended since the early 1980s. Data is of high quality and comprises the whole population. This gives the users of data unique possibilities of analysis, allowing them to analyse both status at a given point in time and the development over time., The memo is primarily intended for researchers, analysts and other users of microdata who want to obtain deeper insight into the quality of the coherence between the different registers. , Read more on Documentation for the use of registers (in Danish), Datapackages (pdf - in Danish), Especially on the Data Warehouse for Business Statistics, In January 2024, Statistics Denmark launched the new Data Warehouse for Business Statistics – a significant extension and improvement of the existing business registers. , The new warehouse ensures wider and better access to anonymised data on enterprises and facilitates extraction of unique data by linking data across more statistical registers. The data warehouse also facilitates linking of business statistics and social statistics at micro level, the so-called ‘Linked Employer-Employee Data’ (LEED). , Read more in , this brochure (pdf), or see , the presentationen of The Data Warehouse for Business Statistics on 30 November 2023 (pdf), .

This attachment is recorded at the end of November and compiled once a year. The first RAS compilation was made at the end of November 1980., Statistical presentation, RAS is an annual, individual-based compilation that records the population’s attachment to the labour market on the last working day of November. The population’s attachment is divided into three main socio-economic groups: employed, unemployed, and persons outside the labour force. The statistics can be broken down by demographic variables and education, as well as by industry, sector, and municipality of the workplace for employed persons. The data are published in News from Statistics Denmark and in the Statistics Denmark StatBank, and detailed micro-data are made available through Statistics Denmark’s Research Service., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The register-based labor force statistics (RAS) are based on the Labor Market Account (AMR_UN), which is a longitudinal register. When RAS is compiled, a status assessment (in relation to the population's primary attachment to the labor market) is carried out on the last working day of November in the AMR. Based on AMR_UN, it is also possible to perform status assessments on arbitrary days throughout the year., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The register based labour force statistic (RAS) is primarily been used to structural analysis of the labour market, because the statistic has a very detailed level of information. Many external as well as internal users are using the statistic., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, RAS is a register-based compilation that uses many data sources to measure the population's affiliation to the labor market. This means that RAS does not have the same uncertainty as statistics based on samples. RAS consists of a wide range of data sources, which are integrated, checked for errors, and harmonized, making it possible to provide a better picture of the population's connection to the labor market than the individual statistics can., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, From the publication of figures for the end of November 2018 onwards, the release is carried out in two stages. In the first release, persons outside the labor force are grouped together in a single category. This publication takes place approximately 11 months after the reference point. In the second publication, which occurs approximately 15 months after the reference point, persons outside the labor force are divided into different socioeconomic groups., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The first version of the RAS statistics includes the population resident in Denmark as of the 1 January 1981 and its attachment to the labour market at the end of November 1980. The statistic has been compiled once every year since. New and better data foundations and changes in the labour market have however caused a number of data breaks over time, which have influence on the possibility of comparing data over time. Since RAS is based on administrative registers with national distinctive marks, it is very difficult to compare the statistic in an international level. , Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics is published in Statbank Denmark: , Labour market status (RAS), and , Employed persons (RAS), . , For further information go to the subject pages , Labour market status (RAS), and , Employed persons (RAS), ., Read more about accessibility and clarity

The theaters divided into state-subsidized and non-state-subsidized theaters. Statistics for the state-subsidized theaters have been prepared since the season 1980/1981. Statistics for the non-state-subsidized theaters have been prepared since the 2003/2004 season. Statistics on international guest performances on both state-sponsored and non state-subsidized theaters have been prepared since the 2004/2005 season. In season 2005/2006 was the concert and culture hosted international guest performances also included in the statistics. The figures for the season 2015/2016 are not directly comparable with previous figures as there has been a data break. , Statistical presentation, The statistics show annual seasonal activities, productions, performances, spectators and primary audiences at the state-supported and non-state-supported professional theatres. For each production there is information about genre, theater category, activity, stage and audience group.. For the season 2020/2021 and forward, the statistics have been revised, where the number of categories with regards to theatres, genre and audience group have been expanded. Therefore there has been a data break. Two new tables in Statbank has been developed, SCENE08A and SCENE10A, which are consistent back to season 2015/2016. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data for this statistics is collected annually from individual theaters via an electronic questionnaire. The collected data is validated for consistency and compared with previous seasons. After validation, the data is aggregated, and imputation is performed for missing responses. Special considerations are taken for extraordinary circumstances, such as closures and restrictions related to COVID-19 during the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 seasons, as well as to some extent in the subsequent seasons, where additional statistical treatment was necessary., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Key users are the Ministry of Culture, government, public and private organizations, researchers and the press. There has not been a user satisfaction., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, Reporting for the Performing Arts statistic is voluntary. Therefore, the statistics are not fully comprehensive. Several of the non-state-subsidized theaters report that they do not have resources to cooperate in the investigation. Many reporters are small theater producers / project theaters that receive government subsidies to develop a single production. It can be difficult to get reports from some of these reporters. Yet it is estimated that performing arts statistics cover the majority of activities in performing arts, as all large and medium state-subsidized and non-subsidized theaters, participate in the study in each season., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, These statistics are published approximately six months after the end of the season. Publications are released on time, as stated in the release calendar., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics have been compiled since the season 1980-81. In connection with the changes to the legislative etc., Regulating aid to the theaters, there may be changes in the population, which can complicate comparisons over time. There has been no comparison of these statistics with similar international surveys., StatBank Denmark contains 3 tables with data that can be returned for the season 1981/1982., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in , Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik, (News from Statistics Denmark - in Danish only) and in the StatBank under , Theatre and dramatic art, ., You can also find figures on performing arts in the , Publication on culture, (In Danish only)., Read more about accessibility and clarity

The calculations of the budget statistics of counties and municipalities are based on a national accounting standards interpretation of the municipal financial agreements. Social welfare funds numbers are calculated on estimates from unemployment funds. The statistics were produced for the first time in 1995. Data are available from 1996 and onward., Statistical presentation, The statistics monitor current and capital expenditure/revenue for the general government based on budgets. Net lending / net borrowing of the general government are shown. Expenditure /revenue items are shown by type of transaction and by type of function. Taxes, subsidies and transfers to households are sub-divided by type., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The data is collected continuously in the months before the publication from the public budget systems and other supplementary sources. It is then compiled according to national accounts principles, where it may be necessary to contact the specific source to clarify certain characteristics of the entries. It may be necessary to make imputations in cases where the data isn’t available at the time of publication. When a full dataset is compiled for all subsectors balancing is carried out to secure internal consistency., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Many users who monitor the public economy have interest in the published statistics of government finance statistics. The statistics is in demand from ministries, politicians, public and private institutions, researchers, enterprises and news media. The statistics often gets a lot of attention in the media and amongst other professional users., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The statistic covers the entire target population. The central government budget is received from Agency for Public Finance and Management (Økonomistyrelsen). All municipalities and regions must report their budgets, and missing budgets are thus not permitted. As the budgets are delivered directly from the municipalities and regions' own financial management systems and compared with data from prior years as well as the budget, it is assumed that no major measurement errors exist. If there are blank or invalid variables or dataset the municipality or region is contacted so new data may be sent., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The March-version is published three month after the adoption of the budget. The September version is published one week after the publication of the budget proposal. The statistic is usually published without delay in regards to the announced time., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, Data are comparable according to ESA2010 from the fiscal year 2015 and onward. For the years 1995 to 2014 the figures is comparable according to ESA1995, Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, [!!!

Publication: Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Danish Economy

Temapublikationen handler om udslippet af drivhusgasser fra dansk økonomi og findes kun på engelsk. Den er baseret på Danmarks Statistiks miljøregnskab., Formålet med , Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Danish Economy, er at beskrive de udslip af CO2 og andre drivhusgasser, som er forårsaget af danske økonomiske aktiviteter., Publikationen beskriver omfanget af udslip fra erhvervslivet og husholdningerne. Desuden indeholder publikationen en række resultater om, hvad udviklingen i dansk økonomis struktur og den økonomiske vækst har betydet for udviklingen i udslippet af drivhusgasser., Al information om udslippene er knyttet til det danske nationalregnskab og de såkaldte input-output-tabeller gennem fælles klassifikationer og definitioner. Sammenknytningen muliggør, som det er vist i publikationen, analyser af samspillet mellem økonomiske aktiviteter og miljøet., Konklusioner, Udledningen af drivhusgasser fra dansk økonomi var 130 mio. tons i 2007, når udslippene omregnes til CO2-ækvivalenter. CO2 er den vigtigste drivhusgas og udslippet af CO2 alene udgjorde 117 mio. tons svarende til 21 tons pr. dansker., Opgørelsen inkluderer såvel udslip fra international sø- og lufttransport som udslip fra biomasse anvendt som brændsel. Hvis sidstnævnte udelades, og principperne bag indberetningen til Kyoto-protokollen anvendes, kan det danske udslip af drivhusgasser opgøres til 66 mio. tons, hvoraf CO2 alene bidrager med 52 tons. Det svarer til 10 tons pr. dansker. Således er det kun halvdelen af udledningen af drivhusgasser fra danske økonomiske aktiviteter, der er omfattet af Kyoto-protokollen., Fra 1990 til 2007 steg det danske bruttonationalprodukt (BNP) i faste priser med 40 pct. Mens de samlede CO2 udslip, inklusive udslippene fra international transport, steg endnu mere, er den økonomiske vækst og udslippene for de fleste erhverv ikke længere tæt forbundet. Hvis udslippene fra international transport fraregnes, var stigningen i CO2 udslippene kun 8 pct. Og hvis også udslip fra anvendelsen af biomasse freregnes, var der et fald i udslippene på 4 pct., Se flere konklusioner i , Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik, ., Presentation of the publication in English, The purpose of this publication which is based on Statistics Denmark's Environmental Accounts for Denmark, is to describe the emissions of greenhouse gases caused by Danish economic activities., The publication describes the extent of emissions from the industries and the households. Furthermore, the publication contains analytical results on the relationship between the structure of the Danish economy and the economic development on one hand and the emissions of greenhouse gases on the other., All information on the emissions is linked consistently with the Danish national accounts and the so-called input-output tables through common classifications and definitions. The link facilitates, as shown in this publication, analyses of the interaction between the economic activities and the environment., Conclusions, The emissions of greenhouse gases from the Danish economy were 130 million tonnes in 2007 when converted into CO2 equivalents. CO2 is the predominant greenhouse gas, and the CO2 emissions alone were 117 million tonnes, corresponding to 21 tonnes per Dane., These estimates include emissions from international sea and air transport as well as emissions from biomass used as fuel. If the latter categories are excluded, by using the principles for reporting to the Kyoto Protocol, the Danish emissions of all greenhouse gas emissions were 66 million tonnes CO2 equivalents with CO2 alone contributing 52 million tonnes. The latter figure corresponds to 10 tonnes per Dane. Thus, the reporting to the Kyoto protocol only accounts for less than half of the total, emissions from the Danish economy., From 1990 to 2007, the Danish GDP at constant prices increased by 40 percent. While the total CO2 emissions, including the emissions from international transport activities rose even more, economic growth and CO2 emissions are no longer linked together for most of the Danish industries. If emissions from international transport are excluded, the increase in CO2 emissions was only 8 percent. And if also emissions from biomass are excluded, emissions show a 4 percent decrease over the period., The publication has not been printed as a book., Get as pdf, Entire publication, Colophone, Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Danish Economy, Environment and energy, ISBN pdf: 978-87-501-1809-1, Released: 18 November 2009 09:30, No of pages: 66, Contact info:, Ole Gravgård Pedersen, Phone: +45 30 89 28 39
