Methodological explanations
National economy refers to economic activity conducted within the territory of a given country. It constitutes a structure in which the economic activity of domestic enterprises is aggregated, i.e. it encompasses all individual and collective units engaged in production, services, distribution, exchange, and consumption within the territory of the state.
Entity of the national economy is a legal person, an organisational unit without legal personality (including its establishments, branches, and subsidiaries constituting its local units), as well as a natural person engaged in economic activity.
Working age is the age of capacity for work, i.e. for men the age group 18–64 years, and for women 18–59 years.
REGON (the National Official Register of Entities of the National Economy) is a collection of information on entities of the national economy, maintained in an information system in the form of a central database and regional databases. It is currently the only integrated register in Poland covering all entities of the national economy.
Each entity is assigned a unique nine-digit REGON identification number by Statistics Poland, which is used in the banking, customs, and tax systems, as well as in the processing of foreign trade data and other commercial and marketing systems.
