2.5. Employment in the sector
In 2006, the cleaning industry employed about 3.6 million people in the 20 countries covered by the
EFCI survey [3]. This represents an increase of employment by approximately +3.5% compared with
2005. Over the last ten years, the number of employees in the sector has grown constantly. On average
over that period, employment grew by almost 5.5% annually. However, the real figures are considered
to be higher due to the high number of unregistered workers in the profession.
More detailed data from 2003 [1] show that Germany remains the biggest employer (27% of the
workforce). In 2003, four European countries employed 70% of the total workforce (France, Germany,
Italy and the UK) (Table 1)The sector is commonly characterised by a significant staff turnover as a consequence of the
precarious employment conditions (temporary and short-fixed term contract) but also due to the
importance of undeclared or partially declared work [2] [5] [6] [7]. However, no figures were found on
the turnover in the sector [8]
