One third of enterprises with only male employees

Almost half of all enterprises as of 1 January 2009 have both male and female employees. Secondary education dominates as the highest education level among employees in enterprises.

Enterprises with only male employees were in traditionally male-dominated activities. Two out of three enterprises in transport and storage, as well as construction had only male employees. In 18 per cent of all enterprises only women were employed. About half of the enterprises in human health and social work activities, and other service activities had exclusively female employees.

More than 50 per cent of the newly established enterprises in 2009 had only male employees, while a quarter only had women employed. Most of the newly established enterprises had very few employees; eight out of ten had less than five persons employed.

Male employees most common in high-growth enterprises

While the share of high-growth enterprises with only male or female employees is lower than in enterprises in general, three quarters of these enterprises had more men than woman employed. Construction, industry, wholesale and retail trade, as well as administrative and support service activities dominate among high-growth enterprises.

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 most common

In half of all enterprises as of 1 January 2009, all employees had secondary education as their highest education. In one out of ten enterprises, all employees had taken higher education than secondary education. Especially enterprises in professional, scientific and technical activities (34 per cent), as well as information and communication (28 per cent) had only employees with tertiary education.

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.
