Statistical unit

Enterprise

Statistical population

To get closer with concepts used in the European survey, since the survey ICT 2011, the size of the questioned units is not any more measured in number of employees, but in number of occupied persons: the non-salaried persons are included in staff. The survey ICT concerns the companies of at least 10 occupied persons, - what includes in particular the units using 9 employees and whose manager is not salaried - the previous survey on those of at least 10 employees. One of the consequences of this modification on the results is an increase of the influence of the smallest companies.

Since the ICT 2011 survey, the scope has covered businesses with ten employees or more belonging to the following sectors of NACE rev. 2: manufacturing industry (section C), production and distribution of electricity, gas, steam and conditioned air (section D), production and distribution of water, sewerage, waste management and cleanup (section E), the building industry (section F), trade, repair of automobiles and motorcycles (section G), transport and warehousing (section H), accommodation and catering (section I), information and communication (section J), real-estate activities (section L), specialist scientific and technical activities, excluding veterinary activities (divisions 69 to 74), administrative service and support activities (section N), repair of computers and communications equipment (group 95.1).

Since the ICT 2021 survey, veterinary activities are in the scope of the survey. Then, specialist scientific and technical activities (section M) are fully covered.

Since the ICT 2011 survey, the scope doesn't covered financial and insurance societies. The following sectors are excluded :

• other monetary intermediations and other distributions of credit (classes 64.19 and 64.92),

• insurance and re-insurance (groups 65.1 and 65.2),

• auxiliary financial service activities, excluding insurance, pension funds and financial market administration (classes 66.12 and 66.19).

The reference period is mainly 2022 except for the characteristics referring to the previous accounting year (turnover, websales). 

---

Since 2022, comparitions are impossible with previous years because of the change of statistical unit. 2022 data will only be possible with those of the next surveys. Nevertheless, it may happen that the wording of a question is slightly modified. The evolution of adjustment methods may affect certain developments at the margin.

Both ICT surveys on more or less than 10 persons employed can be compared, but the user has to pay attention on scope differences.
