Contracted man-years in municipalities, by activity. Per cent. 2009.

Contracted man-years in counties by activity. Per cent. 2009.

More than 90 per cent of employees were employed by the municipalities. Due to a high degree of part-time working, this amounts to 340 000 contracted man-years. The total growth in contracted man-years was 1.8 per cent from 2008 to 2009.

Increase in staff in kindergartens

Contracted man-years in kindergartens increased by 4.2 per cent compared to 2008, but health and social services still have 42 per cent of the total man-years in the municipalities. The man-years in health and social services increased by 1.6 per cent in the same period.

Increased number of employees in upper secondary education

Upper secondary education amounts to a total of 83 per cent of the contracted man-years in the counties. Compared to 2008, upper secondary education has had an increase of 600 man-years. The increase is due to an improvement in the registration in one county. The man-years in the county dental health services amount to 6 per cent. The distribution among the areas of responsibility for the counties has been largely unchanged over the last 5 years.
