One third of enterprises with only male employees

Almost half of all enterprises as of 1 January 2008 have both male and female employees. Secondary education dominates as the highest education level among employees in enterprises.

Thirty per cent of enterprises as of 1 January 2008 had only male employees, and these enterprises were in traditionally male-dominated activities. About 64 per cent of the enterprises in transportation and storage and 62 per cent in construction had only male employees. In 18 per cent of the enterprises only women were employed. About half of the enterprises in human health and social work activities, and other service activities had only female employees. Most of the enterprises had few employees; nine out of ten enterprises had less than 20 employees.

Mostly male employees in high-growth enterprises

Sixty-eight per cent of the high-growth enterprises had mostly male employees. In nine out of ten enterprises in construction, and transport and storage all employees were men. The highest share of high-growth enterprises with only female employees was in other service activities, with 6 per cent.

High-growth enterprises

High-growth enterprises are all enterprises as of 1 January 2008 which in a period of three years have had an average growth of 20 per cent or more. The growth is measured in turnover and number of employees. These statistics examine high-growth enterprises by growth in the number of employees. Enterprises must have at least 10 employees in the beginning of the growth period. Therefore, they have at least 17 employees after three years. More statistics on high-growth enterprises can be found here .

Secondary education dominates

More than half of all enterprises as of 1 January 2008 had no employees with a higher education level than secondary school. In one out of ten enterprises, all employees had taken a university degree. The highest share of enterprises that only had employees with education from university was in professional, scientific and technical activities with one of three enterprises.

Secondary education among employees was also most common in high-growth enterprises. In almost 70 per cent of these enterprises more than half of the employees had secondary education as their highest education level. Employees with tertiary education dominated in high-growth enterprises in financial and insurance activities. In almost 90 per cent of these enterprises, more than half of the employees had a university degree.

The statistics include enterprises (except enterprises in agriculture, forestry, fishing or public administration) with employees and describe the characteristics of the employees. Employees are persons working for the employer more than four hours a week. Persons with more than one job may have been counted as an employee in several industries. The statistics do not include owners in personally-owned enterprises, i.e. proprietors in sole proprietorships and partners with joint liability and unlimited liability.
