ECS 2013 – Sectoral information sheets

The sectoral information sheets listed below give an overview of the structural characteristics, work organisation practices, human resource management, employee participation and social dialogue in nine selected sectors of economic activity, both private (NACE B–N, R, S) and public (O, P, Q). These sectors are (for the private sector): industry; construction; commerce and hospitality; transport; financial services; and business, administration and other services; and (for the public sector): public administration and defence – compulsory social security; education; and public health. In each information sheet, aspects of establishment characteristics in the sector are compared with the EU28 as a whole. The information is based on the European Company Survey 2013 (ECS) which gathers data about companies and establishments with 10 or more employees across 34 countries. The third ECS contains responses from 29,864 establishments across the 28 EU Member States.
