DENMARK IN FIGURES

2015

Denmark in figures

Welcome to

National Statician Jørgen Elmeskov

2015 The present publication provides you with a short but accurate overview of the development in Denmark in recent years.

Our statistics are not merely a collection of figures and facts, but are produced with the aim of providing a picture of the conditions of life and relationships in Denmark.

The Danish figures are largely supplemented by international comparisons which open up the possibility of putting Denmark and the Danes into perspective in rela-tion to the surrounding world.

This edition of Denmark in figures contains two novelties. In the middle of the pub-lication a snapshot is presented of the 15-year-olds in today’s Denmark – and at the back of the book there is an entirely new overview of international key figures.

I hope you will enjoy reading the publication.

In order to compare statistics among countries we have entered into in-ternational cooperation concerning how statistics are to be produced and disseminated.

The statistics are based on data from a variety of sources. The administra-tive registers maintained by public authorities are an important source.

In addition to this, the data reported by Danish businesses and data from interviews with Danish citizens also form the basis of producing statistics.

The major part of official statistics is produced in accordance with EU legislation.

Statistics Denmark is a government institution with a staff of about 550 under the Danish Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Interior.

The driving force of Statistics Denmark is to describe trends in society and to supply data for the democratic debate.

Further information about Statistics Denmark is available from:www.dst.dk/profil or follow us on Twitter @DSTdk

Statistics Denmark produces statistics on most aspects of social and economic conditions in Den-mark.

The statistics enable citizens, businesses, public in-stitutions and politicians to follow trends in Danish society and thereby contribute to, e.g. debates and decision-making.

We take pride in producing statistics that are trust-worthy. Our figures are estimated independently from economic and political interests.

The statistics must be published as quickly as pos-sible. Consequently, we make great efforts to reduce the time from when we receive data until the final figures are published.

We always focus on our customers when the figures are disseminated. Our figures must be easily acces-sible, easy to understand and easy to make use of.

We announce in advance when our statistics are published one year ahead.

Our statistics and publications are published on our website daily at 9.00 a.m.

At the same time the digital newsletter “News from Statistics Denmark” is also published containing ge-neral figures and trends in society.

About Statistics Denmark

Statistics Denmark was founded in 1850 – the same year

in which democracy was introduced following the adoption of Denmark’s Constitutional Act in 1849.

The purpose of Statistics Denmark was as now to produce statistics that could form an objective

basis for democratic debate and decision-making.

Do you want to know more...

Statistics Denmark publishes a wide range of publica-tions each year. Yearbooks and thematic publications describe and analyse Danish society and can be used by everyone – from student to politician.

STATISTICAL YEARBOOK

Statistical Yearbook is a source of useful knowledge about the Danes and the Danish society. In the Yearbook you can read about both the softer sides of the society such as which movie was the most seen or which name the Danish pa-rents prefer for their children.

See the yearbook on www.dst.dk/yearbook

NORDIC STATISTICAL YEARBOOK

The Nordic Statistical Yearbook is a reference book containing comprehensive and easily accessible statistics of various aspects of social life in the five Nordic countries, i.e. Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. In addition data are also pre-sented on the Faroe Islands, Greenland and the Åland Islands.

The yearbook is bilingual - English and Swedish - with English as the primary language.The book is published by the Nordic Council of Mi-nisters and edited by Statistics Denmark.
