The labour force is the sum of persons in employment and unemployed. From 2017 the indicator  is calculated on the basis of a new data source. This means a break from previous years

Higher education is defined as a university or university college education at a lower or higher degree level.
Lower degree covers:
- everyone who has completed a university or university college education lasting up to four years up to 1997/98.
- everyone who has attained 120 study points or more in the university and university college system since 1998/99, but who have not completed a higher degree.

Higher degree covers:
- everyone who has completed a university or university college education of more than four years.

Income consists of all taxable income such as earned income, various pensions and capital income. It is important to be aware that a comparison of gross income between men and women can be problematic. More men enter the couples capital income on their tax return, although this is joint income. A comparison of average gross income between the sexes, particularly in small municipalities, can give a skewed profile if individuals in the municipality (usually men) have extremely high incomes. Where men more often enter capital income on their tax returns, this however can be an indication of who has control of the money.

Part time : Until 2014 defined as agreed working hours of less than 30 hours a week. From 2016 defined from what percentage of employment is reported from the employer, instead of working hours per week. This means the indicator before and after 2015 is not comparable.

Managers is the standard code for the occupational classification (a one-digit level is used here, 1. Managerial occupations)

Share of fathers taking statutory paternity leave: The basis for all men who become fathers in the relevant calendar year, regardless of whether they are entitled to parental leave in connection with childbirth.
