In EnglishSummary SummaryLabour

regulations. When
conducting the Labour Force Survey unified definitions of the employed and
unemployed approved by the International Labour Organization were used. Genesis

By 2002 the survey was being carried out twice a year, while the survey
coverage encompassed 3000 households. Since July 2002 the Labour Force Survey
has been carried out permanently, each quarter, with survey coverage accounting
for 4000 households. A continuous survey is such a survey when 1/13 of the
population sampled for the survey is interviewed each week. During
continuous Labour Force Survey as many as 4000 households are sampled and their
members aged 15 and older are interviewed each quarter. Also, each quarter 25
per cent of the sampled households are replaced. The selection of households is
accomplished applying a sampling method and using the Population Register. The
sample includes the population of all cities and some villages. The survey is
carried by interviewers who fill in the questionnaires basing on the
respondents‘ answers (face-to-face interview or by telephone). Over
IV Q 2006 as many as 9.5 thousand or 0.33 per cent of the population aged 15
and older were interviewed. Due to certain reasons 12-17 per cent of
respondents did not respond. The released survey data have been recalculated in
reference to total population. Labour force.
