Employment in large establishments (as at March), Republic of Mauritius, March 2025

Employment in large establishments (as at March): Monthly observations · Republic of Mauritius

Notes from the API

• Discrepancy note, from 1983

  Two measures of employment in large establishments. Table 1.1's employment 'in large establishments' is part of a compiled annual estimate; the Survey of Employment and Earnings' Tables 2.1 count employment in March. Rounded to Table 1.1's decimal they agree only in 1995, 2024 and 2025 (2023: 0.1 thousand apart). Table 1.1 is higher by up to 12.2 thousand in 1983–1990, when Table 2.1(a) excludes foreign workers and Rodrigues, and lower by as much as 5.9 thousand in 2017. They are different measures and are never compared.

• Coverage note, from 1991

  Republic of Mauritius. Tables 2.1(b) and 2.1(c) are headed '(Including Foreign Workers & Rodrigues)'; Table 2.1(d) (March 2007–2025) states no scope and continues them. The workbook names neither Agalega nor St Brandon. March 1975–1990, which exclude foreign workers and Rodrigues, are a separate indicator on the Island of Mauritius and are never one line with this one.

• Coverage note, from 2000

  The industrial groups change classification: March 1975–1999 follow ISIC Rev. 2 of 1968 (Tables 2.1(a)-(b)); March 2000–2006 the National Standard Industrial Classification of Economic Activities (NSIC), 'an adaptation of the International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC), Revision 3 of 1990' (Table 2.1(c)). Each classification has its own vocabulary and no industrial group is compared across the change. The total is printed as one series across it.

• Discrepancy note, 2000–2001

  March 2000 and 2001: Table 2.3(a)'s public and private sectors add up to 296,787 and 301,085, where Table 2.1(c) prints totals of 297,025 and 301,217. The total is taken from Table 2.1, so Table 2.3's Total column is not loaded; its sectors are served as published.

• Coverage note, from 2007

  The public sector's parts change in March 2007. Table 2.3(a) (March 2000-2006) counts the Rodrigues Regional Assembly within 'Government Ministries/Departments' (its note 1); Table 2.3(b) (from March 2007) prints 'Regional Government' in a column of its own. The two ministries-and-departments parts have different codes and are never one line. The public and private sector totals are printed across the change.

• Coverage note, from 2007

  The industrial groups change classification: from March 2007 the NSIC Rev. 2, 'an adaptation of the International Industrial Classification of Economic Activities (ISIC), Rev 4 of 2007' (Table 2.1(d)). 'As from March 2012, SEE is published according to the National Standard Industrial Classification (NSIC), Revision 2 ... Previous classification used was the National Standard Industrial Classification (NSIC), based on ISIC, Rev. 3 of 1990.' Each classification has its own vocabulary and no industrial group is compared across the change. The total is printed as one series across it.
