The comparison of the employment share of one-year (two-year) old enterprises in their
year of birth with their employment share after one year (two years) of existence, provides an indication of how rapidly the young
surviving enterprises are increasing their number of persons employed beyond the initial level and contribute to overall employment
changes in the economy.
Definitions
The employment share at birth of one-year (two-year)
old employer enterprises refers to the number of persons employed in the year of birth by employer enterprises that
will have survived one year (two years), divided by the total number of persons employed.
The employment share of one-year (two-year) old

Comparability
Data refer to the whole population of employer enterprises.
Data are classified according to ISIC Revision 4 for all countries except
Israel for which data are in ISIC Revision 3.
Highlights
On average, the employment shares of one-year old enterprises in 2008
have shown an increase higher than 20% compared to their year of birth. The increase in the employment share of two-year old
enterprises compared to their year of birth (about 43%) indicates the positive dynamic of employment in young, surviving
enterprises.
