Enterprise / Establishment Data Coverage Index

Ranking of countries by how well they are covered by company-level labour data in ILOSTAT. Countries are scored on the breadth of key indicators covered, how frequently and regularly the data is produced, and how recent it is. Move the weights to see the ranking change.

Business-level sources only — establishment & enterprise surveys, economic / establishment censuses, and establishment registers.

Methodology

How the overall score works

Each country gets three sub-scores from 0 to 100 — coverage, frequency & regularity and recency — computed from its ILOSTAT record, counting only observations that come from business-level sources (establishment and enterprise surveys, economic / establishment censuses, and establishment registers). The overall score is the weighted average of the three, using the weights on the left. Weights are normalised, so only their relative sizes matter.

Coverage of key indicators

The share of the key indicators (weighted by importance, with headline indicators counting more) for which the country has at least one qualifying business-level datapoint within the coverage window.

Frequency & regularity

The average of two parts: a periodicity score (monthly data scores highest, then quarterly, then annual, then irregular) based on the fastest cadence the country sustains for its headline indicators; and a regularity score — the share of recent years in which headline data was actually produced, which penalises long gaps.

Recency of latest data

Based on the age of the most recent qualifying datapoint across the key indicators, decaying linearly from full marks for current-year data down to zero once the newest data passes the configured age limit.
