Fertility and Family Surveys in Countries of the ECE Region: Country Report, Denmark : Comparable FFS-data, Volume 20This report presents the status and trends in fertility and family formation in Denmark up to 1994-95, with a focus on the situation in 1994. For various reasons, Denmark did not conduct a Fertility and Family Survey (FFS). Instead, the report aims to consider the issues raised in the FFS studies as far as possible, based on a number of sources including previously published statistics and unpublished data from registers. The report considers: social, economic and cultural trends; population trends; an analysis of the data comparable to the FFS results, including partnerships, fertility patterns, female education and occupation; and an overview of some life-course event histories. |
