2.1. Data description | |||
Job vacancy statistics (JVS) provide information on the level and structure of labour demand. The country transmits to Eurostat the quarterly data on the number of job vacancies and the number of occupied posts as well as provides the quality report under the JVS framework regulation and the two implementing regulations: the implementing regulation on the definition of a job vacancy, the reference dates for data collection, data transmission specifications and feasibility studies, as well as the implementing regulation on seasonal adjustment procedures and quality reports. |
|||
2.2. Classification system | |||
The quarterly data are broken down by economic activity (at section level) in accordance with NACE Rev. 2 - Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community. |
|||
2.3. Coverage - sector | |||
All economic activities defined by NACE Rev. 2, except agriculture, forestry and fishing (A), the activities of households as employers (T) and the activities of extraterritorial organisations and bodies (U). |
|||
2.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
A 'job vacancy' is defined as a paid post that is newly created, unoccupied, or about to become vacant: (a) for which the employer is taking active steps and is prepared to take further steps to find a suitable candidate from outside the enterprise concerned; and (b) which the employer intends to fill either immediately or within a specific period of time.
‘Active steps to find a suitable candidate’ include: - notifying the job vacancy to the public employment services, - contacting a private employment agency/head hunters, - advertising the vacancy in the media (for example internet, newspapers, magazines), - advertising the vacancy on a public notice board, - approaching, interviewing or selecting possible candidates/potential recruits directly, - approaching employees and/or personal contacts, - using internships.
'Specific period of time’ refers to the maximum time the vacancy is open and intended to be filled. That period shall be unlimited; all vacancies for which active steps are continuing on the reference date shall be reported.
An 'occupied post’ means a paid post within the organisation to which an employee has been assigned. |
|||
2.5. Statistical unit | |||
The statistical unit for the data collection is the enterprise. |
|||
2.6. Statistical population | |||
Enterprises with one and more employees. |
|||
2.7. Reference area | |||

4.1. Quality assurance | |||
The quality of statistics in CYSTAT is managed in the framework of the European Statistics Code of Practice which sets the standards for developing, producing and disseminating European Statistics as well as the ESS Quality Assurance Framework (QAF). CYSTAT endorses the Quality Declaration of the European Statistical System. In addition, CYSTAT is guided by the requirements provided for in Article 11 of the Official Statistics Law No. 25(I) of 2021 as well as Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 on European statistics, which sets out the quality criteria to be applied in the development, production and dissemination of European statistics. Annexes: European Statistics Code of Practice ESS Quality Assurance Framework (QAF) Quality Declaration of the European Statistical System Official Statistics Law No. 25(I) of 2021 Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 on European statistics (consolidated text) |
|||
4.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
The output quality in the ESS is assessed in terms of the following 5 quality criteria: relevance, accuracy & reliability, timeliness & punctuality, coherence & comparability and accessibility & clarity. The quality indicators are assessed taking into account EUROSTAT's defined methodology and recommendations. Taking into account the above criteria, the overall quality of the statistics produced is very high. For further details and information please refer to the relevant sections of this quality report. |
