Preface
The Statistical Yearbook 1996 is number 100 in the series of Statistical Yearbooks
published since 1896.
The Statistical Yearbook is a work of reference whose purpose is to present
comprehensible and illustrative information about social and economic conditions in
Denmark. There are chapters containing summary information about the Faroe Islands
and Greenland and a chapter on international statistics.
The Statistical Yearbook is also a guide to official statistics. In addition there are
tabulations of data compiled by Danish authorities or institutions other than Statistics
Denmark (sources are indicated).
As this is the 100th edition of the Statistical Yearbook it contains a chapter on statistics
covering the last 100 years. New tables have also been included in the book, and the
international chapter has been revised and partly renewed. The chapter on statistics
covering the last 100 years was prepared by Mr. Bo Johansen with the assistance of of Mr.
Poul Jensen, former Director and Mr. Preben Etwil.
We always welcome comments and proposals for improvements of the book. Please use

Denmark which cover the subjects concerned. The present book is edited by Statistics
Denmark's 16th division under the supervision of Mr. Ebbe Frorup Frørup in collaboration with
Mrs. Margrethe Pihl Bisgaard.
