Population by level of education

Increase in the level of education In 2012, 70 per cent of the 30 30-69-year-olds olds had completed education providing them with professional qualifications, def defined ined as vocational or higher education aimed at specific types of jobs. The proportion was 63 per cent in 2002. 2002. There is an equal distribution between men than women who have completed education courses providing them with professional qualifications. High frequency of vocational education The highest level of qualifications among the 30-69 30 69 age group was most frequently a vocational education. 38 per cent had completed this type of education, while 31 per cent had completed high higher er education in 2012. 201 Since 2002 2002, , the proportions proportions have increased by 0.4 and 6.2 percentage points, respectively. Among the remaining 31 per cent of the 30 30-69-year-olds olds of the population, 23 per cent had completed basic school education, 5 per cent general upper secondary education ation as the highest level of education, while there is no information for the last 3 per cent. Regional differences Regional differences are evident with regard to educational patterns with within in the Danish population in 2012 2012. . There is, however, a trend for t the he highest proportion completing education courses providing them with professional qualifications to be found around the large cities, with correspondingly lower proportions being evident in the provinces. Over the recent decade, differences have been sharply sharply evened out as many outl outlying districts have experienced a higher increase than the major urban areas. Large differences still exist within each region.

Sharp divisions in educational patterns between the sexes Sharp distinctions were observed in the educational patterns for 30 30-69-year-old men and women with regard to both educational levels and fields. More men than women had completed vocational education or longlong -cycle higher education in 2012, , whereas more wom women en than men had completed medium medium-cycle cycle higher educaeduc tion in the same year. The difference in long-cycle long cycle higher education has become less pronounced during the last ten years, and since 2003 more women than men have finished a Masters degree degree. .

Research, development and innovation

The private sector contributes with two thirds of total R&D R&D-expenditure expenditure Research and development as well as innovation activities are important factors for the development of the competitiveness of the firms and, consequently, for economic growth in society. The creation of new knowledge and its subsequent use in the enterprises enterprises are important factors for the dynamics and innovation of the business sector by way of introducing new products and production processes. R&D activities take place both in the private and the public sector. Total Danish R&D expenditure in the public a and nd private sector has ha more than doubled in the period 1998-2010 1998 2010 and has been estimated at DKK 53 5 billion in 2010.

Information society
About the information society An analysis of the information society can be made partly via the supply side in the form of enterprises and employment in the ICT sector and partly via the deemand side in the form of the use of information technology by enterprises, the public sector and by individuals. The ICT sector The ICT sector comprises enterprises that produce products and services within electronics, ICT, computer software, telecommunications, and other areas pr primarily based on information technologies. The ICT sector can be divided into ICT manufacturing, ICT wholesale, telecommunications, and ICT consultancy se services. Fall in employment in ICT manufacturing In 2010, , the Danish Danish ICT sector employed a total of 82,900 full-time time employees, which is minor decrease of 4 per cent compared to 200 2007.
