Total employment (including indirect effects) rose more strongly by 8.9 p.c. overthese seven years, i.e. + 1.2 p.c. as an annual average. As with the VA of companies established at Ghent, thisrise was due above all to subcontracting, since indirect employment increased over the same period by 16.1 p.c.,i.e. 2.2 p.c. as an annual average. The years 1999 and 2001 were marked by the greatest creation of jobs,especially in subcontracting. Indirect employment in those years rose by 12.1 and 6.6 p.c. respectively, while inthe same two years direct employment only increased by 1.6 and 3.7 p.c. This difference may be attributed to theincrease in employment in sectors which are heavily dependent on subcontracting, such as the metal-working,chemicals and car manufacturing industries. 1999 was the year with the most marked total rise (+ 7.0 p.c.), and2001 the year with the largest number of jobs (29,536 direct FTE and 63,795 FTE total). As for the port ofAntwerp, 2002 was marked by the decline in direct employment (- 3.5 p.c., almost as great as the drop of 3.9 p.c.recorded in 1996) and total employment (- 3.2 p.c.).The ratio of indirect employment to direct employment remained high in 2002. As for the total for the four ports,1999 showed a record (117.7 p.c.). This ratio then decreased slightly before returning in 2002 to a relatively highlevel (116.6 p.c.). The drop in indirect employment at that time was due above all to the decline in employment inthe chemicals and car manufacturing sectors, which are heavily dependent on subcontracting. But the effect waslimited because of the recovery in employment by shipping companies.Changes by cluster in direct effectsThe industry segment employs the majority of those working in the port, i.e. 75.6 p.c. on average over the periodin question. This proportion is only 9.5 and 7.4 p.c. respectively for wholesale trade and the maritime cluster. Thelargest rise in direct employment (including allocation) was seen in 2001: employment in the maritime clusterincreased by 8.4 p.c. and that in industry by 2.1 p.c. Although not as large, logistics services and transport overthese seven years recorded their best average rises in direct employment (+ 2.3 and + 5.3 p.c. respectively). In2002, the decline of 3.5 p.c. in direct employment in the port of Ghent was above all due to the drop seen inindustry (- 4.8 p.c.).Changes by sector in direct effectsJobs at the port of Ghent are centred mainly on the metal-working and car manufacturing industries and, to alesser extent, the other services, the chemicals and other industries. 2001 was an excellent year for employment,with the workforce of the metal-working industry amounting to 7,582 FTE. The same year, employment in the carmanufacturing and chemicals industries reached 6,851 and 2,090 FTE respectively. That is when the 2002decline referred to above started.47The breakdown of the indirect effects by sector for the period 1995- 1999 can be found in annex 5 (table 52).NBB WORKING PAPER No. 56 - JUNE 2004 37
