BASIC INFORMATION ON THE CENSUS OF PHILIPPINE BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

The Census of Philippine Business and Industry (CPBI), formerly the Census of Establishments (CE) is a nationwide undertaking which aims to provide data on the structure and level of economic activity in the country, that serve as reliable bases upon which the government and private sectors can formulate policies and evolve economic development plans.

  • in market research and feasibility studies.

Research institutions, international organizations such as United Nations Industrial Development Organization, World Bank, International Labor Organization, and Asian Development Bank, business entities, and students use CPBI data for market research, industry studies, and other economic analysis requirements.

    An establishment is an economic unit under a single ownership or control, i.e., under a single legal entity, engaged in one or predominantly one kind of economic activity at a single fixed location. For some sectors, the establishment is defined as the unit that is engaged in the production of the most homogenous group of goods and services, usually at one location, but sometimes over a wider area, for which separate records are available that can provide data concerning the production of these goods and services and the materials, labor and physical resources used in this production.

The selected provinces are the provinces in Regions 3 and 4, provinces where the NSO regional Office is located, and provinces with the highest count of establishments in rural barangays of provincial capitals/cities/municipalities. Survey feedbacks from establishment surveys were also used to update the list.

    SELECTION OF SAMPLES FOR THE 2006 CPBI

    The sample establishments were selected using the stratified systematic sampling. Domains are province and industry for establishments with total employment of 20 and over and establishments with total employment of less than 20. Employment size was used as the stratification variable.
