28 October, 2017: Danish singles are into informal coffee datess

The majority of Danish singles think that a cup of coffee is the perfect setting for a first date. It's a great way to quickly see if you're the perfect match, but it also has a downside, experts say.

29-year-old Stine Hvolby uses app dating to find a boyfriend and likes to buy a cup of coffee and go for a walk with her date. She is one of the 16 per cent of single Danish women who use app dating to find love, according to a study conducted by Analyse Danmark for Discovery Networks Denmark.

No guarantee that tax cuts will get more people to work more, says a former chief economist. This opinion is backed by a new survey and a professor of social sciences.

24 October 2017: Danish workplaces can save 700,000 kilos of CO2 in one week

1,409 kilos of CO2, 1.64 million litres of water and 162 kilos of meat. That's how much Nestlé's 1,800 Nordic employees save in just one week with a new initiative inspired by World Vegan Day on 1 November. The remedy is simple: no meat in the canteens for just one week.

In recent years, the proportion of meat-free products in Danish supermarkets has increased significantly, and studies show that more and more Danes have introduced one or more meat-free days a week - so-called flexitars. In an analysis conducted by Analyse Danmark for DR in 2016, 26 % of Danes answered that they regularly had meat-free days.

24 October, 2017: One workplace is no longer enough

The desk of the future is not just in one place. Many Danes believe this, but it places great demands on companies to find new solutions that meet employees' wishes for different workplaces and flexible working hours.

There are also indications that the physical location of the office is of great importance to Danes. A study on Danes' work habits from Analyse Danmark shows that 6 out of 10 (61%) sometimes or often work somewhere other than their regular workplace.

20 October, 2017: Danish sharing economy strategy is only the first step

The government's long-awaited sharing economy strategy takes a first small step towards regulating the sharing economy in Denmark, but more is needed, according to the social partners.

A majority of Danes fear that the platform economy could lead to a society with more casual labour with poor pay and working conditions. This is according to a survey conducted by Analyse Danmark for Ugebrevet A4. 58 percent agree with the statement, while only 9 percent disagree that sharing economy platforms lead to poorer working conditions.

5 October, 2017: Video in your job application? 5 great tips

Using video in your job application is one of the newer trends. But how do companies view the video application and are you as a job seeker using video correctly? A study by Analyse Danmark has taken a closer look at companies' opinions on the use of video in the job search.

According to companies, the biggest advantage of a video application is that you get a clearer picture of the applicant's personality and that you have the opportunity to see their presentation skills. However, the majority (75 %) believe that the video application should primarily be used as a supplement to traditional job applications. Only 4 % of companies believe that the video application can replace the traditional application material.

29 September, 2017: Women perpetrate more violence against children than Danes think

Mum and dad are equally at fault when children are exposed to serious domestic violence. But two out of three Danes believe that it is usually the father who is responsible, according to a new study from Analyse Danmark.

The widespread perception is that it is the man who is the perpetrator of violence in the family. This is according to a new survey conducted by Analyse Danmark for Save the Children. In it, 64 per cent of Danes - or almost two out of three - say they believe that it is more often or much more often the father than the mother who perpetrates serious violence such as hitting and kicking children.

20 September, 2017: One in three young people have tape in front of their webcam

Most people don't like the idea of a stranger watching you when you're alone in front of the computer. In fact, many young people are so insecure that they put a piece of tape in front of the small computer camera to protect themselves from intruders.

A new survey shows that 38 per cent of 18-29 year olds put tape in front of their webcam to avoid being monitored. The study was conducted by Analyse Danmark for DANSK IT and DataEthics, who asked 1008 people about their use of tape as digital protection.

14 September, 2017: What the people of the North are like behind the wheel

Drivers in North Jutland take the lead in interfering more with the driver's driving.

The extent to which North Jutlanders nose pick and shout at fellow road users while driving are some of the things looked at in a new study on Danes' driving habits. When travelling alone by car, singing loudly and blowing your nose are high on the list of things people do while driving. In the survey, one in three people say they sing loudly when alone in the car, while one in seven admit that they spend their driving time picking their nose. However, they also mingle a lot while driving.

21 August, 2017: COMMENT: Beware of calling children picky eaters

During the summer, the Danish Agriculture & Food Council published a new analysis on children and pickiness. The analysis made it clear that many children feel that their parents think they are more picky than they are.

With this post, I would like to urge us to be careful about labelling children as picky eaters. For example, I've never understood why adults tell children in advance that there is something they don't like. I've overheard the phrase ”no, you don't like that” several times in the supermarket or at the buffet in a restaurant.


15 August, 2017: DEBATE: 3F and Danish Nurses' Union on the occasion of Pride: There is room for improvement in Danish workplaces

It's a rainbow-coloured time in the capital, where the streets will be filled with happy people this week during Copenhagen Pride. And in the midst of the colourful festivities, it's important to remind each other to make room for diversity.

Unfortunately, it happens all too often that colleagues speak disparagingly about gay, bisexual and transgender people. And that's just not right. It must be the case that employees' competences and work performance should be assessed. Not their sexuality or gender identity.

8 August, 2017: Colleagues speak disparagingly about homosexuals

In many Danish workplaces, employees sometimes talk badly about gays, lesbians and transgender people.

3 August, 2017: Back to school: How to avoid bullying

The start of school is just around the corner, and it can cause stomach aches for the new 0th grade children - and not least their parents. A new study conducted by Analyse Danmark for the Mary Foundation and Save the Children shows that it's bullying and the overall well-being of children that parents of new school children are most concerned about.

However, the Mary Foundation and Save the Children have advice for that. The two organisations behind the anti-bullying programme, Free from Bullying, have compiled 7 tips on their website to help children become part of the community.

25 July, 2017: Beach habit reveals the difference between rich and poor Danes

Your income says a lot about your health and, according to a new study, can also determine your willingness to traipse around the beach in swimwear.

Two out of five low-income Danes feel uncomfortable showing off on the beach in swimwear, or not at all, according to a survey conducted by Analyse Danmark for Fagbladet 3F.
Among the highest earners, this is true for only one in five. And although your beach habits may sound insignificant, according to a number of researchers, the survey hides larger divisions in society.

14 July, 2017: Nordea has taken over Danske Bank's role as the banks' whipping boy

In terms of customer satisfaction, Danske Bank now overtakes Nordea. The combination of an improved Danske Bank and one bad case after another for Nordea explains why the whipping boy role has changed. For the first time in several years, customers are more satisfied with Danske Bank than Nordea

“Nordea has taken over the whipping boy role previously held by Danske Bank. In addition to their generally low customer satisfaction, there are a lot of cases in the media that affect how others talk about them and how their own customers perceive the bank,” says our CEO Henrik Feindor Christensen, to Børsen.

With a total score of 8.9 out of a possible 10 points, Middelfart Sparekasse is once again at the top of Analyse Danmark's annual survey “Bankanalysen” in 2017.

“Our vision is to be ‘best for customers’. That's why it's gratifying when customers give us such high marks. Even though there is a lot of focus on digitalisation and self-service in the industry, the ‘Bank Analysis 2017’ shows that the quality of advice, communication with the advisor and friendliness in the branch are some of the factors that matter most to customers” satisfaction with the bank." says Martin Baltser, CEO of Middelfart Sparekasse.

9 July, 2017: Picky kids cause conflict: these foods they don't like

According to experts, children's pickiness can become so pervasive that it becomes a social problem. And the list is long.

Fish and cheese are not popular with children. But pasta and light bread are. And this makes parents worry about whether their children are being too picky. It risks not only having a negative impact on children in a nutritional sense, but also in a social sense.

7 July, 2017: Help your brain park for the holidays

Your busy everyday brain needs help when it goes on holiday. That's why it's a good idea to set aside time to leave it parked for a holiday a few days before heading to your holiday home or Spanish hacienda.

We Danes are bad at taking holidays. There is even some evidence to suggest that we have become worse over time.
In recent years, a number of studies from DJØF and Analyse Danmark, among others, have shown that the number of Danes who ’very much’ work during their holidays has almost doubled over a five-year period.

When voters are asked to rate how skilful ministers are, Finance Minister Kristian Jensen comes in third place. On the 12-point scale, he scores 4.0.

28 June, 2017: Losing support among voters: Liberals' crown prince stumbles down the character ladder

Election researcher at the University of Copenhagen, Professor Kasper Møller Hansen, believes that Kristian Jensen's decline in character is due to the change from foreign minister to finance minister.

27 June, 2017: Commentary: We don't deserve an honest and unspoilt politician like Thyra Frank

Ekstra Bladet has once again criticised Thyra Frank. Among other things, the minister is criticised for not having presented a single bill to the Danish Parliament in the seven months she has been in office. However, Thyra Frank has never made a secret of the fact that she, neither as Liberal Alliance MP when she was, nor as minister today, has ever intended to introduce more laws and regulations. So blaming the minister for not breaking her promise is completely brainless.

Have we really come so far that we expect ministers to legislate just for the sake of legislating? Have we become so used to spin and empty talk that we completely disregard the elected representatives' background and knowledge in the respective areas they are responsible for?

26 June, 2017: Danes dump LA ministers: Thyra Frank is bottom of the pile

The Liberal Alliance's six ministers get worse marks than K and V ministers. One explanation is that they say things clearly and plainly.

All beginnings are difficult. Even debuting on a ministerial team. This is what the Liberal Alliance's six ministers have to admit after voters gave them disastrously poor marks in the run-up to the summer holidays.

23 June, 2017: Løkke's close friend is Denmark's most unknown minister

Six out of ten Danes do not know that Lars Christian Lilleholt (V) is Minister for Energy, Utilities and Climate. This puts him in the unfortunate first place as Denmark's most unknown minister by far.

Lars Christian Lilleholt does not see the measurement as negative for his work as minister. At the same time, he points out that as the government's tallest minister at 203 cm, he has also been given the longest title as Minister of Energy, Utilities and Climate. "It took me quite some time to say the title in the right order and remember all three areas, so I understand if the respondents in the survey also find it a little difficult to make sense of it," he writes.

23 June, 2017: Danes have no idea what half of the country's ministers are ministers of

A majority of Danes don't know what 11 of the government's 22 ministers are responsible for.

19 June, 2017: Older men love Støjberg

Some ministers are divisive and more popular/unpopular in certain segments, such as Inger Støjberg. However, she has a particularly strong hold on older male voters, who give her top marks.

When you look at the average grade, she can take pride in being the minister who gets the most top marks from the Danes. But at the same time, one in four voters fail Inger Støjberg by giving her a 00 or 03 for a completely unacceptable performance.

14 June, 2017: Pape to the top: Surpasses Støjberg and all the others

Danes give the Conservative Minister of Justice the highest score out of the government's 22 ministers. Søren Pape received an average score of 4.4, making him Denmark's most competent and trustworthy minister.

But a 4.4 grade for the year is still a mediocre performance with room for great improvement, emphasises Hans Engell.

14 June, 2017: Tough verdict: Bottom grade for Løkke's government

It's exam time and the Danes have graded the government ministers. In the survey, Danes gave the 22 ministers in Lars Løkke Rasmussen's government an average grade of just 3.6 on the seven-point scale.

“It shows that many Danes are disappointed and don't think the government is doing very well. Lars Løkke's government is at the poor end of the scale compared to previous governments,” says election researcher at UCPH, Professor Kasper Møller Hansen.

12 June, 2017: In three years it will happen again: Revolt against automatic higher retirement age

A clear majority of Danes think it's a bad idea to raise the retirement age in line with increasing life expectancy. However, S and DF are adamant that Danes should stay longer in the labour market.

In the 2006 welfare agreement, a broad majority decided that the retirement age should be raised every five years in line with increasing life expectancy. But voters are not enthusiastic about this plan.

The director of DR Denmark, Anne-Marie Dohm, believes that the guard has been lowered and that the political debate is better when it takes place like at Folkemødet on Bornholm.

The discussions are widely covered by Danish media, so people all over the country can follow the discussions on Bornholm. The coverage is apparently supported by the population. In a survey from the research agency Analyse Danmark, three out of four respondents said that the media should cover Folkemødet on Bornholm.

26 May, 2017: Curious Danes: How many of us look in other people's windows

Almost 2 out of 3 Danes look in other people's windows. And many of us even do it on purpose.

Alcohol policy has come a long way since the late 1800s, when it was perfectly fine to drink 4 litres of Bavarian beer at 6.5% while at work. Today, even a single beer with lunch is a rarity.

The development in our beer consumption has a logical explanation, says Anders Risager Callesen, team leader and responsible for historical communication at Carlsberg.

Among skilled and unskilled workers, most swear by the classic rye bread packed lunch. Almost two out of three say that the menu consists of a ”classic packed lunch” when it's time for the lunch break. This is according to a survey conducted by Analyse Danmark among 3F employees for Fagbladet 3F.

This is partly because packed lunches are more convenient; “We have access to canteens where there is also a buffet and salad bar, but by the time we get there and back, the break is over”
