Concepts
  • LOCAL UNIT:  An enterprise or part thereof (e.g. a workshop, factory, warehouse, office, mine or depot) situated in a geographically identified place. At or from this place economic activity is carried out for which ' save for certain exceptions ' one or more persons work (even if only part-time) for one and the same enterprise.
  • LABOUR COST:  The cost incurred by the employer in the employment of labour. It is divided into direct costs and indirect costs. Subsidies for the compensation of direct remuneration are deducted from the total cost.
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  Period to which the information refers and which may be a specific day or a time interval (month, fiscal year, calendar year, among others).
  • ECONOMIC ACTIVITY:  Combination of resources such as labour, raw materials, equipment, etc., are joined, leading to the creation of specific goods or services. Regardless of the factors of production integrating the good or service produced, all activities generically imply an input of products (goods or services), a production process and an output of products (goods or services).
