One third of enterprises have only male employees

Almost half of all enterprises as of 1 January 2010 had both male and female employees. In 36 per cent of all enterprises only men were employed, whereas 18 per cent of all enterprises had only female employees.

Enterprises with male employees only were in traditionally male-dominated activities. Six out of ten enterprises in construction, as well as transport and storage had only male employees. About half of the enterprises in human health and social work activities and other service activities had exclusively female employees.

High share of women in sole proprietorships

In 37 per cent of the sole proprietorships, all employees were women, whereas 46 per cent had exclusively male employees. The corresponding figures for private limited companies are 12 and 34 per cent respectively.

Many enterprises have employees with board experience

In 77 per cent of all enterprises, one or more employees had board experience. With nine out of ten enterprises, the share was highest in financial and insurance activities, as well as electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply.

About the statistics

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 for 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.
