3. St<strong>at</strong>istical background in<strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
3.1 Sources <strong>for</strong> st<strong>at</strong>istical background in<strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
According to the call <strong>for</strong> tender, weighting of the <strong>ESENER</strong> <strong>2009</strong> was to be done on base of the<br />
same 10-cell m<strong>at</strong>rix which was used <strong>for</strong> the sampling. For a further improvement of quality, we<br />
however decided to broaden this m<strong>at</strong>rix to a 15-cell m<strong>at</strong>rix by further differenti<strong>at</strong>ing within the<br />
“Services” section between sectors of activity mainly made up by priv<strong>at</strong>e organis<strong>at</strong>ions<br />
(“Priv<strong>at</strong>e Services”) <strong>and</strong> sectors made up mainly by public entities (“Public Services”).<br />
Attention:<br />
It should be noted th<strong>at</strong> the sector shortly called “Public Services” here is not exclusively<br />
made up by public organis<strong>at</strong>ions. Especially in NACE Rev. 1.1 M & N /Rev 2 O & P<br />
(Educ<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>and</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>and</strong> Social <strong>Work</strong>) also many priv<strong>at</strong>e organis<strong>at</strong>ions are to be found (e.g.<br />
priv<strong>at</strong>e schools <strong>and</strong> priv<strong>at</strong>e hospitals).<br />

In order to be able to weight the d<strong>at</strong>a according to this m<strong>at</strong>rix, st<strong>at</strong>istical in<strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ion in <strong>at</strong> least<br />
this differenti<strong>at</strong>ion (i.e. by the 15 cells defined in the weighting m<strong>at</strong>rix) had to be collected.<br />
Collecting the st<strong>at</strong>istical in<strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ion on the universe was among the tasks <strong>at</strong>tributed to the<br />
n<strong>at</strong>ional fieldwork institutes. From their experience with other business surveys, they are<br />
familiar with the availability of business st<strong>at</strong>istics in their country. The n<strong>at</strong>ional institutes were<br />
provided with a templ<strong>at</strong>e <strong>for</strong> filling in the available figures in a st<strong>and</strong>ardized <strong>for</strong>m. On this<br />
templ<strong>at</strong>e, they were asked to provide the following figures:<br />
Distribution of establishments 10+ (if not available: companies) over the various cells of<br />
the m<strong>at</strong>rix<br />
Distribution of employees working in establishments 10+ (if not available: companies 10+)<br />
str<strong>at</strong>ified by the cells of the m<strong>at</strong>rix<br />
If available: Distribution of establishments (if not available: companies) by NACE 1-digit<br />
level <strong>and</strong> size-class<br />
14 For Belgium a slightly different m<strong>at</strong>rix was used <strong>for</strong> the weighting since there st<strong>at</strong>istics were<br />
available only in size b<strong>and</strong>s 50-199/200-499 instead of 50-249/250-499.<br />
