This dashboard is a simple overview of historic changes in the danish academic jobmarket.
Data covers 2005–2025: education output is measured using Danmarks Statistik's UDDAKT10, specifically completed degrees by education level. Job demand is measured using Jobindsats / Jobnet's new job postings, grouped by academic and research-position categories. Job posting data measures new vacancies listed on Jobnet, not all academic vacancies; early years should be interpreted cautiously, since the expansion of online recruitment may affect the observed number of postings. The figures end in 2024 to avoid incomplete 2025 observations; career-level shares use total research-position postings as the denominator.
