The authors have advised that Table 3 and Table 6 on pages 600 and 604, respectively, of the published paper contained incomplete information.

Table 3 Categorization of Educational Level Using Danish Registry Data

Table 6 Categorization of labor market affiliation using Danish registry data

It has come to the author’s attention that readers find it difficult to apply the use of formats for Highest Attained Educational Level as presented in Table 3. Further descriptions have been added to the “Categorization Variable: HFAUDD formatted to DISCED” section with the Notes section updated. The updated Table 3 is shown below.

Some DREAM codes indicating individuals awaiting a flex job (740, 743–748) were missed from Table 6. In addition, several subcategories have been corrected or clarified.

The authors have further clarified details regarding two specific retirement schemes; Senior Pension (PSOC_STATUS_KODE=416, y_YYWW=785) and Early Pension (PSOC_STATUS_KODE=417, y_YYWW=786). These codes are granted individuals with long-term labor market attachment. Senior Pension requires that the applicant has permanent reduced work capacity corresponding to a maximum of 15 hours per week in the most recent job. As such, the former D2 in the IDA and DREAM columns are now merged with C3, Disability Pension. Early Pension is not dependent on work capacity and therefore still included in the D section. Notably, Statistics Denmark has clarified that both schemes are included in the disability code in SOCIO13 (321). As such, the main groups are not fully comparable across the data sources. The correct Table 6 is shown below.

The authors apologize for these oversights.
