NOTES ON METHODOLOGY
Industrial persons employed indices presented in this Release are calculated from data collected through Monthly Survey on Industrial Production and Persons Employed (IND-1/KPS/M form) in 2009.
Legal and methodological framework
The Monthly Survey on Industrial Production (IND-1/KPS/M form) in 2009 is carried out by the Central Bureau of Statistics together with county statistical offices on the basis of the Official Statistics Act (NN, No. 103/03) and the Act on the Amendments to the Official Statistics Act (NN, No. 75/09)..
Concepts and definitions used in this survey are specified in the Statistical Standards for the Monthly Survey on Industrial Production and Persons Employed (IND-1/KPS/M form) in a part relating to Table 1. They were published in Narodne novine No. 11/09. Concepts and definitions are in compliance with the EU Methodology of Short-Term Business Statistics (Theme 4, ISSN 1725-0099; European Communities, 2006) as well as with the Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1503/2006 on definitions of variables, list of variables and frequency of data compilation.
Scope and coverage
The IND-1/KPS/M Survey covers enterprises and parts thereof employing at least 20 persons and performing one or several activities listed in the NKD 2007. sections B Mining and quarrying, C Manufacturing and D Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply, that is, their divisions 05 – 35 (except group 35.3).
Reference period
The reference period for data collection is a calendar month. As a rule, a completed IND-1/KPS/M form must be returned to the Central Bureau of Statistics by mail as a rule 12 days after the end of the reference period.
Definitions and calculation method
Indices of persons employed show the dynamics of the number of persons employed in industrial activities of enterprises, excluding persons employed in non-industrial activities of the same enterprise.
Persons employed are persons who work for an employer in the state or private sector and are paid in cash or kind for their work. This includes all persons who have signed a work contract with the employer for a fixed or unspecified period of time, irrespective of type of ownership and of whether they work full time or less than full time. This also includes trainees, persons on maternity leave, sick leave or absent from work for other reasons, until cessation of employment.
Persons employed are also persons who presently or occasionally work under the contract or for payment in cash or kind as well as retired or unemployed persons and regular students. Persons employed are also persons employed in own trade company, enterprise, craft or free lances.
Calculation method
The labour productivity index was calculated as a relation between the volume index of industrial production from the beginning of a year until the end of a reference month and the level index of the number of persons employed in industry, also from the beginning of a year to the end of a reference month. The level index presents the comparison of a current period with the same period of a previous year.
Labour productivity indices for MIGs 2009. aggregates are calculated in the same way according to a prevailing activity at the NKD 2007. group level, which are published for this type of indicators for further harmonization with the EU statistical standards1).
Indices of persons employed and labour productivity presented in this Release are not seasonally adjusted, which must be taken into account in the interpretation of the results.
Special note to users
The MIGs 2009. definitions is going to be published in the Monthly Statistical Report No. 2/09 that will be issued in March 2009 and in the First Release No. 2.1.3./1. entitled “Industrial Production Volume Indices – Seasonally and Working-Day Adjusted Indices and Trend, 2009”, which was issued on 19 March 2009.
