DIFIS-Studie 2023/1: Social Policy and Social Policy Research in Denmark

Danish social policy research and teaching is fragmented across different disciplines and institutions. Most social policy teaching in higher education takes places in electives within broader master level degree programs, though more specialized programs also exist. There is substantial social policy advisory in Denmark in the form of ad hoc commissions and more institutionalized bodies such as the Economic Council and the Danish Centre for Social Science Research. The landscape of social policy advisory is relatively homogenous with a few individuals circulating between different advisory bodies. The micro-level registers available to Danish researchers via Statistics Denmark and the Danish Health Data Authority and anonymized survey data at the Danish National Archive are internationally rare.
