TTL - Statistical unit
Entity for which information is sought and for which statistics are ultimately compiled.
The statistical unit is the object of a statistical survey and the bearer of statistical characteristics. These units can, in turn, be divided into observation units and analytical units. Statistical units for economic statistics are defined on the basis of three criteria:
- Legal, accounting or organisational criteria;
- Geographical criteria;
- Activity criteria.
Statistical units comprise the enterprise, enterprise group, kind-of-activity unit (KAU), local unit, establishment, homogeneous unit of production, persons, households, geographical areas, events etc. Statistical units can be categorised into basic statistical units, i.e. those for which data are collected, and derived statistical units, i.e. those which are constructed during the statistical production process. A basic statistical unit is the most detailed level to which the obtained characteristics can be attached.
