Denmark: (a) Wage substitute household worker, polyvalent, called "Market Alternative Housekeeper Cost" (Bonke, 1993). (b) Net wages are calculated as gross wages for unskilled menial workers minus the average tax paid by these workers. (c) Including gross value added for owner-occupied dwelling is 50.
Finland: (a) "Wages received by municipal home helpers" (p.17). (b) Plus additional unpublished calculations based on Statistics Finland (1990b).
Norway: (a) "Qualified municipal home helpers" including Employers' National Insurance Contribution" (p.7). "Purchasing goods and services and the pertaining travels: not included" (p.4). "Leadership and participation in community and voluntary public services...(are) not included in the Norwegian imputations for 1972, 1981 and 1990" (pp. 4-5).
Bulgaria: (a) The value of labour inputs and therefore the value of production are calculated on a different population basis (age: 0.1 +) than in other studies (age: 15+). See details in section 2.4.
(b) Percentage of GNP.

1971: 1 BGL = 1.170 U.S.$
1977: 1 BGL = 1.075 U.S.$
1988: 1 BGL = 0.410 U.S.$
(a): "Private consumption" as given in SNA minus goods and services used in non-SNA production (i.e. intermediate inputs and consumer durables).
(b) Value of production in non-SNA activities (labour factor calculated on net wages of substitute household workers, polyvalent).
Time-use data were collected in 1971 and 1977 on the population aged 6 years and over; in 1988, on the entire resident population (0.1 year and over).
The value of labour inputs is essentially not affected by these differences because the labour contribution of children aged 6 and below is negligible (Time use studies world wide, 1990, pp.496-499).
