alasektoreiden

Alasektoreiden is the genitive plural form of alasektori, a term used in Finnish to refer to the sub-sectors within a larger sector in economic and statistical classifications. An alasektori represents a finer subdivision used to analyze economic activity more precisely than the main sectors. The concept is common in official statistics, business reporting, and policy analysis, where data may be presented at both the sector level and the alasektoreiden level.

In practice, classification systems such as Tilastokeskus's toimialaluokitus (TOL) and the EU's NACE framework define alasektoreita as parts of a sector. For example, within the manufacturing sector (teollisuus), alasektoreita may include machinery manufacturing, chemical products, and food products. In the services sector, alasektoreita can cover information and communication, financial services, or professional, scientific, and technical activities. Analyzing alasektoreiden data allows researchers and policymakers to identify trends, disparities, and growth opportunities that are not visible at a higher level.

Note that the exact alasektoreiden included with a given sector depend on the chosen classification system and the level of granularity. The term is primarily a descriptive tool rather than a fixed list of industries.
