Summary The Household Satellite Account aims to make visible the non-market production of households, which is only partially covered in the National Accounts. All economic analyses depend on systematic data compiled in a given, structured format. However, no such data have been available for household production, so far. The purpose of the satellite account is to fill this gap. The Household Satellite Account measures and describes the value of the goods and services produced by households for their own final consumption. The main part of household production is outside the scope of GDP. Satellite Account is conceptually consistent with the core national accounts, and it enables to produce extended national accounts that include both core accounts and household production. Such extended national accounts give a somewhat different picture of economic development than the core national accounts. They are of particular interest in the analysis of long-term economic development or in the comparison of levels of production in different economies. The Finnish Household Satellite Account has been compiled in compliance with Eurostat and SNA93 guidelines. Some effort has also been made to further develop the Eurostat method. Accounts have been compiled for ten different types of households and for different principal functions of household production, i.e. providing housing, meals and snacks, clothing, care, and volunteer work. Also shopping and travel related to unpaid work are shown separately. The Finnish Household Satellite Account describes household production in 2001. Production not included in the national accounts is valued by using the input method. The data sources used in compiling the account were Statistics Finland’s Time Use Survey in 1999–2000, the 2001–2002 Household Budget Survey, wage and salary statistics as well as National Accounts figures for 2001. The total output value of household production in 2001 was 81.6 billion euros. Gross value added in household production was 62.8 billion euros, of which 13 per cent was included in the national accounts. The GDP is increased by 40 per cent and household consumption by almost 60 per cent when production excluded from the national accounts are included in the figures. Among the various principal functions of household production, the highest gross value added figure was recorded for housing. Its share was 43 per cent of all household production. Meals and snacks accounted 27 per cent of household production. The volume of output varied in different types of households. Output was highest in families with small children and lowest in young single-person households. Output increased markedly with the age of the household’s reference person, both among people living alone and couples. Household structure and the age of household members had a greater impact on output than gross household income. Extended national accounts time series will provide a valuable tool for monitoring changes in economic development. In the future the aim is to compile household satellite accounts on a regular basis at a five-year interval or more often using data from the national accounts, the Household Budget Survey and the Time Use Survey. 10 Statistics Finland National Consumer Research Centre
