Notes: These statistics exclude asylum seekers.
An immigrant is defined as a person born abroad whose parents are both (or one of them if there is no available information on the other
parent) foreign citizens or were both born abroad. If there is no available information on either of the parents and the person was born
abroad, the person is also defined as an immigrant. A descendant is defined as a person born in Denmark whose parents (or one of them
if there is no available information on the other parent) are either immigrants or descendants with foreign citizenship. If there is no available
information on either of the parents and the person in question is a foreign citizen, the person is also defined as a descendant.
