200 companies account for half of the Danish exports
More than half of Denmark’s exports of goods come from fewer than 200 large enterprises in the manufacturing and wholesale trade. Large companies with more than 250 employees accounted for 54 per cent of exports in 2012, although they represented only 2 per cent of exporting firms. In 2005, they accounted for 50 per cent of exports.
In that time, the big companies exporting to the BRIC countries, Brazil, Russia, India and China, have increased 160 per cent, while small and medium-sized enterprises have had an increase of just over 90 per cent.
According to the feature in the Danish Statistical Ten-Year Overview 2014, the article focuses on the globalization of Danish companies over the last decade. The ten-year overview gives a unique overview of developments in the Danish society in the same period and the overall development of Danish exports of goods over the last decade.
The Danish Statistical Ten-Year Overview also reports:
* The private schools have received 38 per cent more pupils in secondary schools 8th-10th class during the last ten years, while the government has only received 6 percent more in class. 22 per cent chose an After School.
* Both couples and single parents have had greater increases in their disposable income during the ten years than single people without children. Couples with children had the largest increase of 53 per cent from 2002 to 2012.
* The Danes visited on average their doctor 7.2 times in 2013. This is 13 per cent more often than a decade ago. The dentist is however visited less often than in 2003.
* Both men and women are pursuing far more in higher education than ten years ago. Now it is one in two women and one in three men aged 35.
* You can read more about the Statistical Ten on dst.dk/tiaar where there is an overview and info graphics of selected developments over the last decade.
DANISH VERSION:
200 virksomheder bag halvdelen af eksporten
Mere end halvdelen af Danmarks eksport af varer kommer fra færre end 200 store virksomheder inden for industri og engroshandel. De store virksomheder med flere end 250 ansatte stod for 54 pct. af eksporten i 2012, selv om de kun udgjorde 2 pct. af eksportvirksomhederne. I 2005 stod de for 50 pct. af eksporten. I den periode er de store virksomheders eksport til BRIK-landene, Brasilien, Rusland, Indien og Kina, steget 160 pct., mens de små og mellemstore virksomheder har haft en stigning på lidt over 90 pct.
Det fremgår af temaartiklen i Statistisk Tiårsoversigt 2014. Temaartiklen belyser globaliseringen af danske virksomheder de seneste ti år. Tiårsoversigten giver et unikt overblik over udviklingen i det danske samfund i samme periode.
Med afsæt i Statistisk Tiårsoversigt beskriver også netmagasinet Bag Tallene den overordnede udvikling i den danske eksport af varer de seneste ti år. Hvem eksporterer vi til, og hvad er det, vi eksporterer? Hvordan har billedet ændret sig på ti år? I artiklen er desuden en kort video, hvor økonom Rasmus Jørgensen fra Københavns Universitet kommenterer udviklingen.
I Statistisk Tiårsoversigt kan du bl.a. også læse, at:
* De private grundskoler har fået 38 pct. flere elever på de ældste klassetrin 8.-10. klasse på ti år, mens de offentlige kun har fået 6 pct. flere i klassen. 22 pct. flere valgte en efterskole.
* Både par og enlige med børn har haft større stigninger i deres disponible indkomst på ti år end enlige uden børn. Par med børn havde den største stigning på 53 pct. fra 2002-2012.
* Danskerne besøgte i gennemsnit deres praktiserende læge 7,2 gange i 2013. Det er 13 pct. oftere end for ti år siden. Tandlægen besøger vi til gengæld sjældnere end i 2003.
* Både blandt mænd og kvinder gennemfører langt flere en videregående uddannelse end for ti år siden. Nu gælder det hver anden kvinde og hver tredje mand på 35 år.
* Du kan læse mere om Statistisk Tiårsoversigt på dst.dk/tiaar, hvor der er overblik og infografikker over udvalgte udviklinger de seneste ti år.
