Brief annotated summary of current Austrian demographic, social and economic data including some international comparisons.
Statistics in short
Five pages of detailed tables with time series provide a wide-ranging overview of current data. Some international comparisons are available, too.
Population
Internal migration in Austria in 2010
The most recent results of migration statistics show that migration has an important influence on the regional distribution of the Austrian population. This can be attributed equally to internal and international migrations. For the largest part, internal migration is confined to short distances, usually within a municipality or between municipalities of the same district. Yet, migration gains primarily accumulate in the structurally favoured agglomerations of Austria, whereas migration losses in general dominate in peripheral regions.
Due to the situation of Vienna as Austria’s single metropolis in the east of the country, it is here that gains in internal migration occur more widespread than in the other parts of Austria. Migration linkages were largest between the larger cities and the surrounding districts, with most core cities losing inhabitants due to suburbanisation. It is young adults aged 20 to 34, that participate most in internal migration as well as Austrian nationals, albeit the occurrence of migration is higher with foreign citizens.
Prices
Consumer price index of November 2011
The annual inflation rate of the Consumer Price Index (CPI 2010) measured by STATISTICS AUSTRIA was 3.6 per cent in November 2011 (October: 3.4 per cent, September: 3.6 per cent). This increase was again driven by prices for mineral oil products, particularly heating oil, and by increasing food prices. Without mineral oil products the inflation rate would have been 2.7 per cent. The all item index amounted to 104.1 in November, a raise of 0.1 per cent compared to October 2011.
The annual inflation rate in terms of the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP 2005) was 3.8 per cent in November (October: 3.8 per cent) reaching the index level of 114.41.
Agriculture and forestry
Aquaculture production in 2010
The aquaculture production statistics is based on
the EU Regulation No. 788/96 and has to be reported to Eurostat annually.
In 2010 the production of fish for human consumption (direct sales or
for the market) amounted to 2 167 tons
National accounts
Residential nursing care activities and residential care activities for the elderly and disabled in the system of national accounts <Refereed article>
Within the framework of input-output-statistics a considerable problem of compiling and balancing product and production accounts in the area of social work activities necessitated detailed analysis. This article provides an overview of the construction process for product and production accounts according to the guidelines of ESA 95 and the implementation of NACE Rev. 2 and CPA 2008 in the field of residential nursing care activities and residential care activities for the elderly and disabled. In this area a new calculation method based on single business data for the individual producers led to a significant increase in production for the social work activities.
In the year 2009 production of residential nursing care services and residential care services for the elderly and disabled by the activities residential care activities and social work activities without accommodation added up to EUR 2 617.13 million. For producing this output intermediate consumption of EUR 1 008.70 million was necessary, which led to value-added of EUR 1 608.43 million.
Taxes and budget
2007 corporation tax statistics
Starting from the year 2005 the corporation tax law was modified in two respects. On the one hand the tax rate was lowered from 34 per cent to 25 per cent, on the other hand the possibility of joint taxation for company groups was introduced.
113 173 cases were assessed in the year 2007, which meant an increase of 4.4 per cent in comparison to the year before. In 98.2 per cent of all cases individual corporations were assessed, only 1.8 per cent assessments concerned company groups (2 072 cases). The ratio between cases of taxation and cases with zero tax liability did not shift further. The cases of taxation held a share of 60.6 per cent while the cases with zero tax liability comprised 39.4 per cent correspondingly. The corporation tax yielded EUR 6 312 million and was EUR 579 million higher than in the year 2006.
