Call for proposals: Statistics for Family Businesses

The aim of this call is to provide policy-makers and stakeholders with credible, comparable and systematic information and indicators on the role of the family businesses in national economies. The projects selected should also support the development of statistics in countries which have not yet collected information on family business.

The European Commission will co-finance actions carried out by statistical offices, or by other organisations in partnership with a statistical office (national, federal or regional) for:
- collection of statistical data,
- measuring the performance of each group of family owned enterprises within the economy,
- value of the goods and services produced,
- employment generated,
- evaluation the sector in terms of its contribution to GDP, jobs, capital investment and tax revenues,
- its role in the balance of payment and other information.

The objectives of the activities to be funded by this call for proposals are:
1) to contribute to the availability and improvement of long-term reliable statistics on family
businesses at national and European level.
2) to support the development of statistics for the first time in countries which have not collected
yet the statistical information on family businesses.
