General upper secondary education
General upper secondary education in Denmark comprises four different programmes. A majority of male
students choose programmes containing a more technical (htx) and commercial profile (hhx) whereas
female students tend to choose programmes that have a broader common profile containing for instance
more foreign languages (stx and hf).

The figures include Faroese citizens aged 16 to 74 years who receive wages over the pay-as-you-earn tax system,
including those who have at least a monthly wage, as well as those on leave because of childbirth or illness. Since
payment to sailors in particular tend to vary, employees are included if they receive no salary for one or two months
provided that they receive a salary again the following month. To prevent double counting, workers are grouped by
the industry where the biggest payment originated each respective month. These rules have been applied in order to
comply in the best possible way with the rules of ILO and hence to be comparable with data from other countries.
