How to identify LUs : Sources and methods (Q3.1)
- Good quality of answers (29 countries) - almost all sources declared are defined (2.2 sources in average)- 1 country with NO SOURCE for LU
- 66% of countries have 1 or 2 sources (9 + 10)
- and 66% of countries have 2 sources or more (19)

LUs and employment (Q3.3) Q3.3 Do you have local units without employment?
Yes = 19No = 10but :1) how to monitor employment? (if only sources for employees / wage earners; …or no sources at all )
2) part-time? (e.g. one day a week)
3) Threshold effects ?(salaries, taxable turnover...)
4) Activities? (construction, utilities, retail trade, restaurants professional activities...)

Retail trade (T/O)
1= Enterprise; 2 = Local Unit; 3 = KAU; 4 = LKAU
4 countries use Local Unit for STS production (industry)...
...and none for STS turnover in Retail Trade & repair (or other services)
15
Conclusion (for Local Units) Local Units are essentially evaluated by Business Register experts;
variety of situations SBS experts not surveyed
(LU = not a mandatory statistical unit in SBS regulation) STS : rarely used as the main statistical source (some cases for
industrial production), and if yes, information comes directly from BR => no double inquiry
In practice : LUs always in BR, georeference is often available, but they are not always distinct from LKAUs (and in some cases, from Enterprises)
Multiple administrative or statistical sources are used, but Employment is not a necessary criterion to define local units
Activities : 2/3 countries monitor more than one activity (but usually not for all the units)
Relevance for other domains not tested (labour market, environment)
