Sektoreittaisessa

Sektoreittaisessa is a Finnish term describing something that is organized by sector or carried out on a sector-by-sector basis. The word is formed from the noun sektori (sector) and the suffix -ittainen, with the inessive ending -ssa, yielding the sense “in a sectoral way” or “by sector.” It is used to indicate that data, analyses, or policies are broken down and treated according to economic sectors rather than by other criteria such as geography or firm size.

The concept is commonly encountered in economics, statistics, planning, and public administration. A sektoreittainen approach divides information into sectors such as agriculture, industry, services, and energy, often using standard classifications like NACE. This enables sector-specific comparisons and targeted evaluation of performance, needs, or policy effects. In budgeting or program design, a sektoreittaisessa framework supports allocating resources or designing interventions for each sector separately.

Usage examples include phrases such as "sektoreittisessä analyysissä osoitetaan toimialakohtaiset erot," "sektoreittainen jaottelu," and "sektoreittainen rahoitusmalli." Related concepts include sektorin (sector), toimiala (industry/sector within the economy), and toimialakohtainen (industry-specific). In studies and policy discussions, sektoreittainen or sektoreittisesti stands alongside other segmentation methods such as alueellisesti (by region) or yrityskohtaisesti (by firm).
