Introduction
Key
figures on the Danish Information Society 2005 - Danish Figures
is the second publication of key figures aimed at providing an overview of
the development in the Danish information society.
The sources are statistics on ICT usage by individuals, the business sector and
the public sector. Moreover, register data are applied to illustrate the Danish
ICT sector and the ICT skills of the labour force. In addition to data from
Statistics Denmark, the publication includes figures from the National IT and
Telecom Agency and the Danish Centre for Studies in Research and Research.

Use of public digital services by citizens and enterprises
It is pointed out that
In 2004, 84 per cent of enterprises and 43 per cent
of the population used public digital services to search for information on web
sites, download forms and submit web forms. The number of users among the
population has been relatively constant since 2002, whereas the number of
enterprises has increased somewhat.
Among Danish citizens,
information searches are more common than more advanced communication.
In 2004, 42 per cent searched for information on official sites, 16 per cent
downloaded forms and 14 per cent submitted information to the authorities.

8. E-skills
Lack of E-skills among
enterprises and public authorities
It is highlighted that The
lack of E-skills is among the barriers to ICT usage experienced by
enterprises and public authorities. More specifically, it is about the
lack of staff with E-skills in-house and problems of recruiting staff with
Eskills.
The importance of both barriers decreased considerably
from 1999 to 2004 in respect of enterprises. Particularly regarding difficulty
in recruiting staff with E-skills, the figure dropped from 16 per cent of
enterprises in 1999 to 4 per cent in 2004. (p. 52)
Use of the Internet for
educational purposes
In 2004, 17 per cent of
the population had used the Internet within the last month for purposes relating
to education and training. Correspondingly, 9 per cent of enterprises used the
Internet for training of their staff in 2004.
Accordingly, Internet use for
education and training has increased slightly over the last two years among both
citizens and enterprises. For enterprises, by 1 percentage point from 2002 to
2004, and for the population by 2 percentage points from 2003 to 2004.
(p. 53)
9. ICT
for all
The population's communication
with public authorities over the Internet
In 2004, 43 per cent of
the population had used the Internet for interaction with public authorities.
Interaction with public authorities covers finding information on official web
sites, downloading forms from public authority web sites and submitting
information to public authorities.
(p 57)
Work-related purposes of
Internet use outside the workplace
The most frequent
work-related purpose for which most Danes use the Internet outside the workplace
is to search for information in connection with their jobs. In 2004, 23 per
cent of the population had used the Internet for that purpose within the last
month. This is an increase from
18 per cent in 2002 - corresponding to an increase by 5 percentage points.
The second most frequent purpose of using the Internet outside the workplace is
to send/read e-mails relating to the job. In 2004, 19 per cent of the population
used the Internet for that purpose outside their workplace.
