Inquiry on establishment structure and personnel

Statistics Finland's Business Register collects data about the establishments of enterprises and associations operating in Finland, their activities, industries, personnel and location.

The inquiry concerns the services and functions of those establishments that can be defined as establishments in accordance with the industry.

The establishment is identified by the establishment code provided by Statistics Finland. Establishment information includes establishment's name, address, industry, start and end dates, and work input expressed in peron-years.

Employment statistics provide data by region on the population’s economic activity and employment.

The inquiry includes enterprises and associations selected annually through a sample
selection. The sample selection of the survey is influenced by, among other things, the number of employees, the industry describing the economic activity, and the time when the enterprise or association started its operations.

The data is used to maintain the Business Register and to compile statistics describing the structures and development of business activities, services and workplaces. The data is also utilized in the preparation of national accounts and to support societal decision-making.
