Need To Check the definitions with Denmark. -In the business survey (Ronit) defeated women dorms are missing- should it be included? How? Need to check where they are included now. --Should we collect indexes on the quality of service? poulation groups (Arabs, Orthodox)? (BOI have shown an interest) -The new sample for 2011 by ISIC4 classifications includes 250 businesses. should we consider outputting a new sample by sub domains? - The survey will include questions about income types (grants, services sales and more), numbers of workers by skill, number of patients / clients. -Should we include questions on expenditure composition? the missing information is on investments only (7% of the expenditure).
