Employment: number of jobs

A job is an explicit or implicit employment contract between a person and an economic unit that stipulates that work will be performed for which there is a (financial) reward.

The average number of jobs within a fixed distance by road for all inhabitants of an area.

A-U all economic activities

All economic activities
This category is a combination of categories:
A Agriculture, forestry and fisheries
B Extraction of minerals
C Industry
D Production, distribution and trade of electricity, natural gas, steam and cooled air
E Water extraction and distribution; waste and wastewater management and remediation
F Construction
G Wholesale and retail trade; repair of cars
H Transport and storage
I Lodging, meal and beverage provision
J Information and communication
K Financial institutions
L Real estate rental and trade
M Consulting, research and other specialist business services
N Rental of movable property and other business services
O Public administration, government services and compulsory social insurance
P Education
Q Health and welfare care
R Culture, sport and recreation
S Other services
T Households as employers; undifferentiated production of goods and services by households for own use
U Extraterritorial organizations and bodies

As of the reporting year 2017, a new source file has been used, in which the industry is not known for all jobs. These jobs with industry unknown do count in the figures for A-U all economic activities. As a result, the figures for A-U all economic activities do not correspond to the sum of the figures for categories A Agriculture, forestry and fisheries, B-F Industry and energy, G-N Commercial services and O-U Non-commercial services.

Green areas

The entrances to the green areas are established at the intersections between the roads and paths of the Top10NL (topographic map, both the line file and the road section file) in the green area and the outer boundary of the green area. For green areas without paths or roads (usually the smaller green areas and public gardens), the focus of the greenery has been taken.

In 2008 and before, only the line file of the topographic map was used and green areas without paths or roads are not included. This mainly results in a trend breach in open natural terrain.

From reporting year 2017, the method for calculating the proximity of green has changed: among other things, only greenery with a minimum surface area of 1 hectare is now included. On average, this method change makes virtually no difference for the whole of the Netherlands: compared to 2015, the distance to greenery has increased by 0.1 km on average. But at a local level (particularly on the Wadden Islands) the differences can sometimes amount to several tens of kilometers.

Proximity to green spaces is derived from the Land Use statistics. The most recent edition of this statistic is reporting year 2017. The next edition is 2022, for which the definitive version is expected to be released in the summer of 2025. This means that proximity to green spaces will probably be published at the end of 2025.

Distance to recreational inland waters

Inland waterways used for recreation, such as recreational lakes, water in parks and public gardens, golf courses, marinas and rowing courses. The site has a size of at least 1 hectare. Only for marinas there is a lower limit of 0.5 hectares for the water part.

The average distance of all inhabitants in an area to the nearest recreational inland waterway, calculated by road.
