About the statistics
The information under «About the statistics» was last updated 22 January 2024.
Enterprises
In the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC2007) an enterprise is defined as the smallest combination of juridical units that produces goods and services, and that to a certain extent has independent decision making powers. In this statistic one juridical unit is treated as one enterprise.
Firms
The results from 2005 uses firms as its statistical unit. Where enterprises are the smallest juridical and economical unit, firm refers to a local branch unit. This is a production unit categorized by the kind of economic activity that the firm undertakes.
Industry
Enterprises are grouped after the most important activity in the enterprises. Enterprises can be grouped at different levels of detail. This statistic shows results by section of industry.
Training
In this survey we define training activities as planned activities that are mainly with the purpose of attaining new skills, or further development of existing skills. In order to be counted as a training activity it has to be an actual activity that is separate from the ordinary work in the enterprise.
Courses
Course activities are usually training activities that are clearly separate from the day to day work situation for the participants and are, as a rule, organised for a larger group of participants. In this statistic we differentiate between internal courses, that are organised by employees of the enterprises, and external courses¸ that are organised by persons outside the enterprise.
Industry classification follows the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC2007).
