1.9% of the respondents aged 15–74 who answered the basic survey did not answer the supplementary survey Q1 2014.

There may be some difference between the same aggregates of the published absolute numbers due to the weighting and summing up. The evaluation of the distribution ratios was made electronically – without individual correction, so the sum of partial data is not always equal to the displayed rounded value of the aggregated data.
