Statistical units are characterized by a number of descriptive variables that are useful for their proper identification. Utilization of these characteristics is helpful in collecting information about units and their structures; providing a sampling basis for statistical surveys; and permitting comparisons and links to be made between data from different data sources, thereby significantly reducing duplication in data collection and response burden. The main characteristics of the statistical unit are identification code, location, kind of activity, type of economic organization, type of legal organization and ownership, size, and demographic characteristics.
