NOTES OF METHODOLOGY

 

Since January 2009, statistical data on earnings have been observed, processed and presented according to the National Classification of Activities, 2007 version (NKD 2007.). This Classification entered into force on 1 January 2008 (NN, Nos. 58/07 and 72/07) and, regarding its contents and structure, it is completely in line with the NACE, Rev. 2. Its implementation will provide for a high quality international coverage of statistical data.

 

The implementation of the NKD 2007. in the monthly survey on persons in employment and earnings caused the formation of a new structure of legal entities at the NKD 2007. classes for 2009 and, due to the calculation of indices, for 2008. This means that the structure of the coverage of legal entities in 2008 and 2009 differs from its structure in previous years.

 

The structure of the NKD 2007. is different from that of the NKD 2002. and all relevant changes that occurred in the NKD 2007. can be found in the Methodology for the Statistical Implementation of the National Classification of Activities, 2007 version – NKD 2007. (NN, Nos. 102/07 and 123/08).

 

Data source

 

The number of persons in paid employment in legal entities results from data processing of regular annual and monthly surveys, which comprises 70% of persons in paid employment in each NKD 2007. division.

 

These surveys cover legal entities of all types of ownership, government bodies, and bodies of local and regional self-government units on the territory of the Republic of Croatia. Data are collected through the report filled in by legal entities on the basis of the records of persons in employment.

 

Since January 2004, data on the number of persons in paid employment in legal entities have included the number of persons employed in the police and defence.

 

Data on persons in employment in crafts and trades and free lances are processed according to the records on pension insurance beneficiaries obtained from the Croatian Institute for Pension Insurance.

 

The Croatian Institute for Pension Insurance also provides data on employed insured persons − private farmers.

 

The data of unemployed persons are obtained from the Croatian Employment Service.

 

Coverage and comparability

 

The survey on persons in paid employment in legal entities includes all persons who have signed a work contract, regardless of the type of work contract and whether they work full time or less than full time.

 

The survey on persons in crafts and trades and free lances includes owners and employees registered with the Croatian Institute for Pension Insurance.

 

Definitions

 

Persons in paid employment are 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.

 

Annual average of persons in paid employment is calculated on the basis of data by months corrected by the full coverage data with the situation as on 31 March.

 

Registered unemployment rate is calculated as a ratio of unemployed persons and total active population (labour force).
