  3. 2. Background Information on KNSO’s Economic Census □ Two different censuses have been conducted every 5 years. • - Industrial census: years ending in 3 and8 • - Service industry census: years ending in 0 and 5 □These censuses did not cover all industries. - Sectors including agriculture, fishing, construction, transportation were excluded. It is difficult to analyze the overall industry structures based on the same reference years.

  4. □ The Korea Development Institute recommended the introduction of the Economic Census. (Dec. 2003) • - Unification of reference years and standardization of survey items □ KNSO decided to conduct the Economic Census. (May 2007) • - KNSO abolishedtwo previous censuses. • - The Census will be conducted in 2011 after thorough research and preparations from 2007 to 2011.

(years ending in 0 and 5) • - Sectors including agriculture, fishing, construction, transportation • that were excluded from the previous censuses will be included. ․ Among KSIC(21of sections), T(employment activity in household, etc.) and U(international and foreign organization) will be excluded. □ Increase the comparability and the usage of industrial structure statistics by unifying the definitions and classifications • ex) Definition of employees, reference time for estimating the number of employees, etc.

  6. □ To minimize the response burdens through expanding the use of administrative records i.e.) Electricity, gas, water supply, education, etc. □ To complete the Economic Census thorough preliminary preparation - find out possible problems⇒remove the drawbacks for successful census
