PUBLICATIONS OF MEDSTAT IV – 2018
Business registers and demography of enterprises in the ENP-South countries
How business registers are built and updated in Egypt? In Algeria? How many businesses are in Morocco? In Jordan? In which sectors of activities do you find most of the businesses?
These are the kind of questions that are answered in this new publication from the business register and statistics sector of MEDSTAT IV. During several months, the ENP-S countries worked together at exchanging and discussing the details of the elaboration and updating of their respective business registers. The cross-checking of files from different sources, administrative and survey ones, the periodicity of the reviews and updating as well as the classifications were among the main topics debated. The project gathered this information from the countries and presents them in the harmonised tables that constitute the first section of the publication. The countries also provided the project with their latest data on enterprises extracted from their respective registers. Methodological information concerning the latest update and other characteristics have been added in order to ease the comparison among the countries. This is the first time that these data are released for the whole region.

Compendium of the labour force and employment surveys in the ENP-South countries
The Compendium of the LFSs of ENP-South countries has been prepared by a pool of five experts including the Lead Coordinator for the sector from Tunisia, the sector National Coordinator from Lebanon, the project’s Key Expert and two senior Short Term Experts, with the active collaboration of experts of all other countries participating in the sector Working Group on Labour market statistics. The preparation of the compendium built on the results of the sector reviews recently made in Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Tunisia as well as on other material provided by the countries. The initial draft of the publication, including a series of summary tables and the drafting of a preliminary version of a synthesis document, was reviewed by the Working Group members.
The publication reviews and discusses the details of the labour force and employment surveys in the ENP-South countries and of their implementation, this giving a comparable regional picture of the achievements in this very sensitive area. The work done by the countries will help to explore the feasibility of more harmonisation between the national surveys, in general terms and with respect to the introduction of rotating ad hoc modules, as it successfully occurs in the experience of the EU LFS.
