Description topics

Enterprises
Births
An enterprise birth is the creation of a new enterprise.

This means that economic criteria for an enterprise must be met: there must be information on employment or turnover of the enterprise. Furthermore, it is important that the enterprise is actually new. The continuation of one or more existing enterprises is therefore not an enterprise birth.

There is no enterprise birth in the case of
- enterprises that are created as a result of a merger, division or demerger;
- takeover or privatisation of part of a company;
- change of name;
- change of legal form;
- change of ownership;
- gradual change of activity;
- relocation;
- reactivation.
Persons employed
In birth year of enterprises surviving
The number of persons employed consists of:
- employees and directors who are on the payroll;
- employees who are on the payroll of another enterprise or institution, but work in the enterprise's own place of business and as such are in fact part of the workforce (agency staff);
- employed proprietors, partners, associates and cooperating family members;
- agency staff. Loaned personnel (employees on the payroll, but working for another enterprise or institution) are not included under employed persons.
This concerns persons employed in surviving enterprises' birth year.
1 year
The number of persons employed in the year of birth of surviving enterprises which were born in the year preceding the reporting year.
2 years
The number of persons employed in the year of birth of surviving enterprises which were born two years prior to the reporting year.
3 years
The number of persons employed in the year of birth of surviving enterprises which were born three years prior to the reporting year.
4 years
Tthe number of persons employed in the year of birth of surviving enterprises which were born four years prior to the reporting year.
5 years
The number of persons employed in the year of birth of surviving enterprises which were born five years prior to the reporting year.
