Statistical presentation

Data description

These statistics provide an overview of the number of members of employee organisations with attachment to the labour market, i.e. excl. trainees, retirees, early retirees and self-employed. The statistics is published on a yearly basis. When we publish the data from 2019 we have made some revisions in the structure of the corresponding tables in the statbank. These revisions are made for the whole time series 2007-2019.

Classification system

The employee organisations are grouped in four main organisations: 'FH', 'AC' and 'Ledernes Hovedorganisation'.

Sector coverage

These statistics include all sectors represented by employee trade unions.

Statistical concepts and definitions

Employee: Individuals who work for a public or private employer and receive remuneration in the form of cash or in kind and income compensation. Conscripts are also included.

Employee with attachment to the labour market: An employee with attachment to the labour market has a paid work or is unemployed. An employee without attachment to the labour market is a trainee, retiree or early retiree.

Employee Organization: Association of employed and unemployed people with the same occupation or education or with the same type of work with the aim to work for the common interests. Most employee organizations are members of a central organization (LO, FTF, AC or Managers and Executives), while a smaller number are outside the main organizations.
