The social performance of businesses

Since 1998, the Danish National Centre for Social Research has conducted an annual review of the social performance of Danish enterprises. The analyses are based on questionnaire surveys and every year they alternate between aiming at enterprises or wage earners, respectively.
This year, the study is based on questionnaire data collected from representatives from enterprises in autumn 2014 and spring 2015. In addition, register data is used to provide an overview of how enterprises use different forms of subsidised employment.
The yearbook focuses on enterprise behaviour and attitudes with regard to retaining and employing vulnerable groups in the labour market, for example the long-term unemployed, people with a reduced capacity to work, and people on long-term sick leave. The analysis differentiates between small public enterprises, large public enterprises, small private enterprises and large private enterprises. Thus, the yearbook contributes with knowledge about and insight into how different enterprises employ and retain vulnerable groups.
