Explanation of symbols

Dataset is not available.

This table includes information on business demography according to the European standard. Figures in this table are also submitted in this form to Eurostat. Information concerns the population of active employers, employer births and deaths, broken down by legal form and by the National Classification of Economic Activity 2008 (NCEA 2008, based on NACE Rev 2.0). Data also includes persons employed and employees in these enterprises.

Data available from: 2010

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are final for 2010 to 2020. The figures for 2021 are provisional.
Only the data on Dissolved companies for 2021 will be adjusted.

Changes as of February 9, 2024:
The provisional figures for 2021 have been added.

Two industry breakdowns have been added:
• B-S excluding O and excluding S94
• G-S excluding O and excluding S94
• K Financial institutions

When will new figures be released?
Figures on a new reporting year (T – 2) will be published in July of the current year T.

Description topics

Employer enterprises

Total: Employer:
Enterprises with employees. An enterprise is the actual transactor in the production process characterised by independence of decisions regarding that process and by offering its products to third parties. An enterprise is defined as an employer when in one year at least 0.5 FTE of labour force are on the payroll, excluding the director.

It follows from this definition and in particular from the independence element that an enterprise can comprise more than one establishment, but also more than one legal unit. (Legal units include both natural and legal persons). This is the case when the individual establishments or legal units do not operate independently. Conversely, it is possible to distinguish between different parts within a legal unit that operate independently in terms of production. These then constitute as many enterprises as defined. The latter is especially the case for larger groups with diverse activities.
activities. When a unit thus defined extends over several countries, the Dutch part is regarded as a whole company for the sake of national statistics.

In official CBS terminology the enterprise as defined here is called the enterprise unit (BE), so that there is no confusion with the term enterprise used in common parlance, which is not very precise in this respect.

The statistical unit enterprise is an operationalisation of the kind-of-activity unit, as defined by Eurostat. This definition combines two requirements that may conflict: contributing to one activity versus corresponding to one or more operational units. The Netherlands gives priority to the second requirement when operationalising to the statistical unit enterprise.

Newly born employer enterprise survivals

1 year survival: Employer enterprise births that took place in the year preceding the reporting year of enterprises and are still active.

2 year survival: Employer enterprise births that took place two years prior to the reporting year of enterprises and are still active.

3 year survival: Employer enterprise births that took place three years prior to the reporting year of enterprises and are still active.

4 year survival: Employer enterprise births that took place four years prior to the reporting year of enterprises and are still active.

5 year survival: Employer enterprise births that took place five years prior to the reporting year of enterprises and are still active.

Employer enterprise population

Persons employed: 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;
