Jobindsats.dk – statistics to support employment efforts
Jobindsats.dk is a public statistics portal developed for labour market actors. It offers up-to-date data on employment efforts, reforms, and results – locally and nationally.
The portal was launched in 2007 by the Ministry of Employment and is operated by the Danish Agency for Labour Market and Recruitment (STAR).
Purpose and legal framework
Jobindsats.dk makes it easier to follow and evaluate the work of the public employment service. The site is especially designed to support:
• Planning and management at municpalities
• Benchmarking between municipalities or unemployment insurance funds
• Transparent reporting on employment initiatives
The legal foundation is the Act on Organisation and Support of Active Labour Market Policy.
Reliable and dynamic statistics
Jobindsats.dk provides both historic and current data on active labour market policies in Denmark. Key features:
• Covers data from 2004 to the present
• Updated monthly with approximately one month’s delay
• Data is dynamic – new updates overwrite previous versions
The portal is open to everyone with an interest in the Danish labour market, such as politicians, journalists and Labour market organisations and interest groups.
Data sources
Jobindsats.dk gathers data from several official registers and systems. These include:
• Municipal case management systems (for benefit data)
• Central Population Register (CPR)
• Central Business Register (CVR)
• Tax and income registers
Data from these systems is compiled in a joint databank that forms the basis for the statistics published on Jobindsats.dk.
Benchmarking and insights
One of the core functions of Jobindsats.dk is the possibility to compare performance across municipalities and unemployment insurance funds. This helps identify best practices and supports continuous improvement of employment services.
