Contracted man-years in municipalities, by activity. Per cent. 2010.

The number of employees in the municipalities increased by nearly 6 000 persons compared to the figures for the 4th quarter of 2009. Due to a high degree of part-time working employees, this amounts to 346 000 contracted man-years. The total growth in contracted man-years was 1.6 per cent from 2009 to 2010.

Man-years in health and social services amount to 42 per cent of the total man-years in the municipalities. The number of personnel in kindergartens has had a steady growth over the last 5 years, but slowed down in 2010 as most municipalities now fulfil the official requirement of day-care-spaces for all children between the ages of 1 and 6 years.

Increased number of man-years within nursing and care services

The growth in contracted man-years in nursing and care services was 2.7 per cent, or 3 300 contracted man-years, compared to 2009. The preceding two years show a growth of 1.9 and 2.6 per cent respectively. More than two thirds of the man-years were carried out by personnel with a health care education.

The figures for the nursing and care services also include private enterprises contracted by the municipalities. The man-years in private services amount to 6.7 per cent of the man-years in nursing and care services in total.

Contracted man-years in counties by activity. Per cent. 2010.

Stabile situation in the county authorities

A total of 47 000 were employed in the county authorities in 2010. Compared to 2009 this is an increase of 1.6 per cent or 630 man-years.

Upper secondary education amounts to a total of 82 per cent of the contracted man-years in the counties. The man-years in the county dental health services amount to 6 per cent. The distribution among the areas of responsibility for the counties has been largely unchanged over the last 5 years.
