Source data
The statistics integrates information from the statistical business register and information from the personal statistical register. The core of the statistics is the membership register, where information about the membership relation to the enterprises are gathered. The membership register information comes from the administrative business register and is based on the regulatory self reporting by the enterprises.

From the personal statistics, information about the members age, sex, education and residence is gathered. In total the following statistics, registers and sources are included:
- Membership register
