3.4.1. Statistical concepts and definitions - Usual residence Usual residence means the place where a person normally spends the daily period of rest, regardless of temporary absences for purposes of recreation, holidays, visits to friends and relatives, business, medical treatment or religious pilgrimage. Sex is defined as either man or woman. 3.4.3. Statistical concepts and definitions - AgeThe age reached at the reference date (in completed years). 3.4.4. Statistical concepts and definitions - Marital statusMarital status is the (legal) conjugal status of an individual in relation to the marriage laws of the country (de jure status). The minimum age for marriages and registered partnerships in Denmark is 18 years. Per 1 January 2011 marriages are between two person of opposite sex and registered partnerships are between two persons of same sex. The same laws apply for divorce of marriages and dissolution of registered partnerships and it requires a six months period of separation except for special cases. 3.4.5. Statistical concepts and definitions - Family statusThe family nucleus is defined in the narrow sense, that is as two or more persons who belong to the same household and who are related as husband and wife, as partners in a registered partnership, as partners in a consensual union, or as parent and child. Thus a family comprises a couple without children, or a couple with one or more children, or a lone parent with one or more children. This family concept limits relationships between children and adults to direct (first-degree) relationships, that is between parents and children. Private households may be defined according to the 'housekeeping concept' , or, if this is not possible, Member States may apply the 'household-dwelling' concept. Statistics Denmark use the household-dwelling concept: Current activity status' is the current relationship of a person to economic activity, based on a reference period of one week, which may be either a specified, recent, fixed, calendar week, or the last complete calendar week, or the last seven days prior to enumeration. The category ‘Pension or capital income recipients’ include persons who are ‘'Currently not economically active' and either receive a pension or have a capital income of 118.284 DKK (approximately 16,000 Euro) equivalent to the amount persons could receive in cash benefits in 2011. Occupation' refers to the type of work done in a job (that is the main tasks and duties of the work). Persons doing more than one job are allocated an occupation based on their main job, which is identified according to the time spent on the job or, if not available, to the income received. Industry (branch of economic activity) is the kind of production or activity of the establishment (or similar unit) in which the job of a currently economically active person is located. An 'employee' is a person who works in a 'paid employment' job, that is a job where the explicit or implicit contract of employment gives the incumbent a basic remuneration, which is independent of the revenue of the unit for which he/she works. The location of the place of work is the geographical area in which a currently employed person does his/her job. In some cases the employees does not do his/her job at any of the workplaces of the employers. Instead they use their usual residence as point of departure for outgoing jobs or the job is being done close to the usual residence or in several working places. This applies to jobs in sectors such as cleaning, insurance and human health and social work activities (such as daycare mothers and district nursing). The location of work are in these cases applied to fictive work place addresses. In general jobs in the municipalities will be applied the address of the municipality and jobs in the private sectors will be applied the address of the persons usual residence. 3.4.12. Statistical concepts and definitions - Educational attainment'Educational attainment' refers to the highest level successfully completed in the educational system in Denmark. Education completed abroad will be included if they have been approved by the Agency for International Education or collected via survey on immigrants’ education. Data on educational attainment collected via surveys will be overruled by an education completed in Denmark. All education which is relevant to the completion of a level is taken into account even if this was provided outside schools and universities. A locality is defined as a distinct population cluster, that is an area defined by population living in neighbouring or contiguous buildings. Such buildings may either: Place of birth is defined as the place of usual residence of the mother at the time of the birth, or, if not available, as the place in which the birth took place. Citizenship is defined as the particular legal bond between an individual and his/her State, acquired by birth or naturalisation, whether by declaration, option, marriage or other means according to the national legislation. The year of arrival is the calendar year in which a person most recently established usual residence in the country. The data for 2011 refer to the time span between 1 January 2011 and the reference date. 3.4.17. Statistical concepts and definitions - Residence one year beforeThis indicates the relationship between the current place of usual residence and the place of usual residence one year prior to the census. Children under one year of age are classified under 'Not applicable'. 3.4.18. Statistical concepts and definitions - Housing arrangementsThe topic 'Housing arrangements' covers the whole population and refers to the type of housing in which a person usually resides at the time of the census. This covers all persons who are usual residents in different types of living quarters, or who do not have a usual residence and stay temporarily in some type of living quarters, or who are roofless, sleeping rough or in emergency shelters, when the census is taken. The family nucleus is defined in the narrow sense, that is as two or more persons who belong to the same household and who are related as husband and wife, as partners in a registered partnership, as partners in a consensual union, or as parent and child. Thus a family comprises a couple without children, or a couple with one or more children, or a lone parent with one or more children. This family concept limits relationships between children and adults to direct (first-degree) relationships, that is between parents and children.

Private households may be defined according to the 'housekeeping concept' , or, if this is not possible, Member States may apply the 'household-dwelling' concept. Private households may be defined according to the 'housekeeping concept' , or, if this is not possible, Member States may apply the 'household-dwelling' concept. The topic 'Tenure status of households' refers to the arrangements under which a private household occupies all or part of a housing unit. 'Conventional dwellings' are structurally separate and independent premises at fixed locations which are designed for permanent human habitation and are, at the reference date, either used as a residence, or vacant, or reserved for seasonal or secondary use. 'Occupied conventional dwellings' are conventional dwellings which are the usual residence of one or more persons at the time of the census. 'Unoccupied conventional dwellings' are conventional dwellings which are not the usual residence of any person at the time of the census. The topic 'Type of ownership' refers to the ownership of the dwelling and not to that of the land on which the dwelling stands. The number of occupants of a housing unit is the number of people for whom the housing unit is the usual residence. 3.4.28. Statistical concepts and definitions - Useful floor spaceUseful floor space is defined as the floor space measured outside the outer walls excluding non-habitable cellars and attics and, in multi-dwelling buildings, all common spaces; or the total floor space of rooms falling under the concept of 'room'. 3.4.29. Statistical concepts and definitions - Number of roomsA 'room' is defined as a space in a housing unit enclosed by walls reaching from the floor to the ceiling or roof, of a size large enough to hold a bed for an adult (4 square metres at least) and at least 2 metres high over the major area of the ceiling. 3.4.30. Statistical concepts and definitions - Density standard (floor space)The topic ‘Density standard’ relates the useful floor space in square metres or the number of rooms to the number of occupants, as specified under the topic 'Number of occupants'. The topic ‘Density standard’ relates the useful floor space in square metres or the number of rooms to the number of occupants, as specified under the topic 'Number of occupants'. Water supply system describes whether the housing has piped water in the housing unit. 3.4.33. Statistical concepts and definitions - Toilet facilitiesToilet facilities describes whether there is a flush toilet in the housing unit. 3.4.34. Statistical concepts and definitions - Bathing facilitiesA bathing facility is any facility designed to wash the whole body and includes shower facilities. 3.4.35. Statistical concepts and definitions - Type of heatingA housing unit is considered as centrally heated if heating is provided either from a community heating centre or from an installation built in the building or in the housing unit, established for heating purposes, without regard to the source of energy. 3.4.36. Statistical concepts and definitions - Type of buildingThe topic 'Dwellings by type of building' refers to the number of dwellings in the building in which the dwelling is placed. 3.4.37. Statistical concepts and definitions - Period of constructionThe topic 'Dwellings by period of construction' refers to the year when the building in which the dwelling is placed was completed. |

7.1. Confidentiality - policy | |||
Statistics Denmark collects and process microdata on persons and businesses. These data are confidential. The protection against misuse of microdata is of crucial importance for preserving the confidence among the population and the business community which is necessary to be able to obtain the best possible data in order for Statistics Denmark to produce statistics of high quality. In order to ensure the confidentiality in social statistics all data on persons should be subject to disclosure control and all personal data are considered confidential. When producing statistics the basic rule is that it should not be possible to obtain new knowledge about a person from a statistical table. Focus is especially on the incidence of single observations in a cell. If it is possible to identify a person on the basis of the information in the table and the identification only is possible if you already have all the information the identification does not give new information on the person. If identification is possible due to a part of the information in the table it is typically possible to obtain new knowledge and the statistics will need further disclosure control. (Extract from Statistics Denmark’s confidentiality policy: “Datafortrolighedspolitik I Danmarks Statistik”, 17 February 2014Statistics) |
|||
7.2. Confidentiality - data treatment | |||
In order to ensure the statistical confidentiality each primary marginal distribution in the hypercubes has been assessed for confidentiality issues. If the combination of topics would result in any cells giving new information on a person all the cells in the PMG has been considered confidential. As most of the full hypercubes including the secondary marginal distributions has turned out to contain confidential information, it is only the PMGs which do not contain confidential cells which have been released with cell information. Where the full hypercube has not shown any confidential information the full hypercube has been released with information in all cells. |

Census 2011 data for Eurostat is based on data in the Danish statistical registers which are updated at least yearly via data from administrative registers. The cost for the Census 2011 therefore only includes the work which has been done to extract and deliver the data according to the regulation. The cost does not include the ongoing work of constructing, updating and maintaining the statistical registers. The extra cost for producing the hypercubes is two full years work for one person or approximately 200,000 Euros. |

Data on population and housing censuses are collected every decade, in a reference year that falls during the beginning of every decade |
|||
20.3. Data collection | |||
Statistics Denmark collects data from administrative registers from public authorities. The data is used to create statistical registers on individual level. The main administrative registers used for the statistical registers which are used in the Census are the Central Register on Persons, the Building and Dwelling Register, the Business Register and the Tax Register. The administrative registers are all of high quality as they are necessary tools for the Danish authorities. The statistical registers are constantly being maintained and if new technological possibilities appear the registers are improved accordingly. The registers can be linked via the unique person_id, the work-place id and the address. |
|||
20.4. Data validation | |||
For validation of the data in the Census Hub, all the figures are cross-checked with figures published on Statistics Denmark’s webpage. |
|||
20.5. Data compilation | |||
Variables in the relevant statistical registers have been recoded and in some cases altered according to the implementing regulations. |
