These are events consisting in the commencement or termination of a formal relationship between an employer and an employee. Information on the number of employment relationships established and employment relationships terminated in a quarter covers all events that occurred during that period, regardless of the employee’s share of a full-timer’s normal hours or whether it was the employee’s main job. The analysis does not cover events concerning persons insured with the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (KRUS).
