DENMARK IN FIGURES • 2011

Statistics are about people. What is interesting about statistics are not the figures as such, but rather what they say about real life – our society and conditions of life as human beings.

Denmark in Figures 2011 gives you a short and simple picture of Denmark and the Danes. The publication addresses everyone, including those who have not detailed statistical knowledge.

Denmark in Figures tells the reader the story about Danish society and its development. A story testifying to the great changes experienced by society over the last 30 to 40 years.

Statistics Denmark (middle of picture) is situated in the eastern part of Copenhagen, Østerbro

Jan Plovsing, National Statistician

Statistics Denmark is the national statistical bureau of Denmark. Our mission is to produce and disseminate trustworthy statistics on social and economic trends in society. Statistics Denmark was founded in 1850 when democracy was introduced in Denmark.
