The annual Business demography data collection covers variables which explain the characteristics and demography of the business population. The methodology allows for the production of data on enterprise births (and deaths), that is, enterprise creations (cessations) that amount to the creation (dissolution) of a combination of production factors and where no other enterprises are involved. In other words, enterprises created or closed solely as a result of e.g. restructuring, merger or break-up are not considered. The data are drawn from business registers, although some countries improve the availability of data on employment and turnover by integrating other sources.

Until 2010 reference year the harmonised data collection is carried out to satisfy the requirements for the Structural Indicators, used for monitoring progress of the Lisbon process, regarding business births, deaths and survival. Business demography also delivered the key information for policy decision-making and for the indicators to support the Europe 2020 strategy. It also provides key data for the joint OECD-Eurostat "Entrepreneurship Indicators Programme".

In summary, the collected indicators are as follows:

• Population of active enterprises
• Number of enterprise births
• Number of enterprise survivals up to five years
• Number of enterprise deaths
• Related variables on employment
• Derived indicators such as birth rates, death rates, survival rates and employment shares
• An additional set of indicators on high-growth enterprises and 'gazelles' (high-growth enterprises that are up to five years old)

The complete list of the basic variables, delivered from the data providers (National Statistical Institutes) and the derived indicators, calculated by Eurostat, is attached in the Annexes of this document (see Business demography indicators).

Geographically EU Member States and EFTA countries are covered.

As of 1 February 2020, the United Kingdom is no longer part of the European Union. You may still find reference to aggregated data for the EU with 28 Member States (EU28) and UK data in the Business demography statistics. In particular, content created before 1 February 2020 refers to periods when the United Kingdom was a Member State, and therefore remains valid. However, the EU28 aggregates within BD domain will neither be calculated for reference period 2019 and after, nor the UK data will be revised for the available reference periods.

The methodology laid down in the Eurostat-OECD Manual on Business Demography Statistics is followed closely by most of the countries (see Country specific notes in the Annexes).

This table includes information on business demography according to the European standard. Figures in this table are also submitted in this form to Eurostat.

Data also includes persons employed and employees in active enterprises, births and deaths, as well as persons employed for surviving births at the start and end of the survival period.

Directory of Economic Activities
The Directory of Economic Activities operation (DIRAE) collects information from all the establishments that carry out Economic activities in the Basque Country; provides basic structural information on the sectors of economic activity and serves as a framework of reference for the implementation of sector censuses and surveys; it also allows the analysis of the population employed in the establishments of the community. At present it does not include the activities of the households that employ domestic staff and extraterritorial bodies.

The Statistics regarding company start-ups and closures
The Statistics regarding company start-ups and closures seeks to quantify the number of companies and establishments that are created and closed over time, according to the different economic sectors, territorial spheres and other characteristics of those units, and the legal entity or its size. This demographics information is directly obtained from the Directory of Economic Activities and also provides the start-up and closure rates over time.

Business demography data counts numbers of active businesses with turnover or employment in a reporting year. It also indicates numbers of new businesses (business births) and numbers of businesses terminated (business deaths) during the reporting year. Numbers and percentages of businesses that were newly created during years leading up to the latest reporting year, and which were still surviving, are also shown. When using the data, comparative business birth or death rates may be constructed adhoc if needed, by dividing the number of births or deaths by the number of active businesses. Please note that due to being required early in the reporting cycle, numbers of business deaths are provisional and may be subject to later revision. For more information about the dataset and its methodology, see the source link. Source: Office for National Statistics (ONS)

Data on enterprise births, deaths, active enterprises and survival rates across boroughs. Data includes: the most recent annual figures for enterprise births and deaths a time series of the number of births and deaths of entrprises together with a percentage of births and deaths to active enterprises in a given year a time series of the number of active enterprises. survival rates of enterprises for up to 5 years after birth Notes and definitions: The starting point for business demography is the concept of a population of active businesses in a reference year (t). These are defined as businesses that had either turnover or employment at any time during the reference period. A birth is identified as a business that was present in year t, but did not exist in year t-1 or t-2. Births are identified by making comparison of annual active population files and identifying those present in the latest file, but not the two previous ones. A death is defined as a business that was on the active file in year t, but was no longer present in the active file in t+1 and t+2. In order to provide an early estimate of deaths, an adjustment has been made to the 2007 and 2008 deaths to allow for reactivations. These figures are provisional and subject to revision.
