Epure: data from Urssaf, MSA and SIASP on employment and the total wage bill, used by INSEE

Previous Next

Definition

The aim of the Epure programme is to track the development within the year of employment and wages, and to better understand the establishments which employ workers. Epure is a system which draws quarterly upon three administrative sources:
- Social security contribution slips sent by employers to the unions for payment of social security and family benefit payments (URSSAF);
- Social declarations of employees in the agricultural industry received by the Mutualité sociale agricole (MSA);
- Pay records for those working in the three branches of the civil service, taken from the System for Information on Civil Service Employees (SIASP).

Note

Epure is a key element of some of INSEE’s other statistical operations, including the programme for Local knowledge of the productive system (Clap), Localised employment estimates (Estel) and national employment estimates.
