By Annie Kao
Summary
May 2019 -- For employment by industry for subnational areas within Taiwan, we have added history classified under SICS Rev. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 (550 new annual series from 2017, 2,570 defunct series 1993 to 2016).
Detail

Active dataset properties:

  • Industrial classification: SICS Rev. 10
  • Measurements: Thousands of persons (Ths. #)
  • Seasonal adjustment: Not applicable
  • Geo coverage: Taiwan, 4 regions, 5 large cities, 15 counties or small cities
  • Native frequency: Annual
  • Start date: 2017

The series reside in the historical catalog (Taiwan » Labor and wages » Employment » By industry » Annual) and include, for example:

  • LWQEMTUA.ITWN       = Labor: Employment - All activities, (Ths. #)
  • LWQEMAFUA.ITWN_KE   = Agriculture; forestry; fishing; animal husbandry - for Keelung
  • LWQEMMFUA.ITWN_TAIC = Manufacturing - for Taipei City
  • LWQEMMFUA.ITWN_TAIP = Manufacturing - for New Taipei City

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.

Please be aware that

As of 2011, an administrative reform merged three pairs of areas (large city and surrounding county) and promoted one city. To describe this redefinition, we declared separate geo codes. The change impacts the SICS Rev. 8 and Rev. 9 subsets.

  • Kaohsiung: ITWN_KA and ITWN_KAOC merge to ITWN_KAOH
  • Taichung: ITWN_TA and ITWN_TC merge to ITWN_TAIH
  • Tainan: ITWN_TI and ITWN_TN merge to ITWN_TAIN
  • Taipei County ITWN_TP promoted to New Taipei City ITWN_TAIP

Despite the similar names, Taipei City and New Taipei City are physically and administratively distinct areas.

The term "subnational" in this context denotes "areas contained within the area designated by a country-type geo code". For statistical convenience, Data Buffet assigns country-type geo codes to Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, and Taiwan ROC. Moody's Analytics takes no position on the dispute between the People's Republic of China and Taiwan (Republic of China) regarding sovereignty of  the latter.
