On-line database

Statistics are published in the StatBank Denmark in the section Udsatte børn og unge (Children and youth at risk) in the following tables (Please note that the terms effort and measure are identical in the following description):

Measures and support to children and youth (preventive measures) - ISBU01: Total number of active measures in a given reference year, classified by municipality and type of measure. Period 2015-2023. - ISBU02: Children and young people, who have received one or several measures, during a given reference year, classified by municipality and type of measure. Period 2015-2023. Each child or young person is counted as only one case in the summary of total national figures, regardless of whether they receive one or several preventive measures during the year. Additionally, a person may appear in multiple municipalities and have multiple measures simultaneously. However, such cases are represented as only one case per municipality and per type of measure. - ISBU03: Initiated measures, during a given reference year, classified by province and group of measure. Period 2015-2023. - ISBU04: Active measures per 31th of December of a reference year, classified by province, group of measure, age and sex. Period 2015-2023.

Preventive measures have previously been published in the statistical table BUFF01, which has been discontinued. The new table, ISBU04, is most similar to the discontinued BUF01 table.

Supportive measures and placements in out-of-home care

  • BU04A: Support to children and young people per 31st December (net statement) by region, measure, age and sex. Period 2011-2023.
  • BU43: Children and young people who receive support per 31st December (share of 0-22-year-olds) by region, measure, age and sex. Period 2015-2023. Each child or young person is recorded as a single case in the total category (total number of disadvantaged children and young people). Additionally, the same criteria as described for ISBU02 have been applied in the calculation of this statistical table concerning the number of persons/cases with preventive measures.

Public expenditures related to preventive measures for children and youth

The indicator is published in StatBank Udsatte børn og unge in the table - BU28: Public net expenditures for exposed children and young people by measure. Period 2002-2023.
