The
added value of each sector (agriculture, industry
and services) at market prices is divided into the
units of employment of each sector.
Added
value is the net production in a sector after having
totalled all production and subtracted intermediate
consumption.
The
"International Standard Industrial Classification
of All Economic Activities" is adopted to identify
the sectors.
Added
value in agriculture measures production from the
farming sector (ISIC division 1-5) less the value
of intermediate entries. Agriculture covers the added
value from farming proper, and also forestry, hunting
and fishing.
Industry
corresponds to ISIC divisions 10-45 and includes production
from manufacturing (ICIS divisions 15-37). It includes
the added values from mining industries, the manufacturing
sector, the building industry, electricity water and
gas.
Services
correspond to ISIC divisions 50-99. These include
added value from wholesale and retail trade (including
hotels and restaurants), transport and public services
(financial, professional and personal) such as education,
health and housing. The costs of bank services, entry
fees and all statistical anomalies noted by national
compilers in addition to the anomalies due to re-scaling
are included.
Employment
in agriculture, industry and services measures the
active population in the agriculture, industry and
services. Each sector is defined adopting the same
criteria used to measure the added value.
