Number of respondents increased significantly thanks to more extensive contact information
Date of change:Statistics: Finnish travel
Information about the change
As a result of the amendment to statistical legislation (3 February 2023/145), Statistics Finland has more exhaustive contact information than before, which has improved response rates in data collections.
In the statistics on Finnish travel the change is especially noticeable in the increased response rate among young people and people of working age. The travel habits of these respondents who could previously not be reached differ from the habits of the persons having responded to the inquiry in the past. Thus, the results describe the travel habits of different population groups more extensively, although this is visible in the statistics as a decrease in the number of trips compared with previous years.
