Methodological note

The Structural Business Statistics in the Service Sector, called the Annual Services Survey prior to the reference year 2014, is a sample-based survey that is produced annually by the INE in order to study the economic characteristics of companies in almost all of the market services sector (number of establishments, employment, income and operating costs, etc.) and estimate the main micromagnitudes. Idescat makes a detailed treatment for Catalonia and collaborates with the publishing of questionnaires.

The information on Health care activities sector is presented in two tables: main results and macromagnitudes.

In 2021, methodological improvements are applied to the Structural Business Statistics, and from then on it includes data from section Q (Human health and social work activities).
