The figure is 5.2% higher than in 2007. Every hospital case thus accounted for an average 2.5 measures of that kind.

This is shown by a model calculation by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), which is based on the results of the 2009 statistics of day care for children and the results of the 12th co-ordinated with the statistical offices of the Länder population projection of the Federal Statistical Office that were presented 2 days ago.

In September 2009, the annual rate of change was ?7.6% too.

What is measured is the distance from home to the place of work, the time spent and the means of transport mainly used (i. e.--for example for the longest part of the way). Persons covered by the survey were not only persons in employment but also pupils and students, who were asked how they cover the distance to their school or university. Unlike the basic programme of the microcensus, answering the questions on commuting patterns is voluntary: Valid information is available for some 90% of the persons in employment and about 85% of the pupils and students (when extrapolated, 34.6 million persons in employment (89.2%) and 12.2 million pupils and students (84.7%)). However, this hardly impairs the information value of the results. Di, 17 Nov 2009 10:20:36 CET
