Labor force survey up in Aklan
The Labor Force Survey of the Philippine Statistics Authority is currently held in Aklan involving a total of 384 sample households.
The LFS is a nationwide quarterly survey which aims to gather data on the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the population.
According to Provincial Statistics Officer Antonet Catubuan, the LFS intends to provide quantitative framework for the preparation of plans and formulation of policies affecting the labor market.
It, also, provides information as basis for the formulation of policies and programs on the creation and generation of gainful employment and livelihood opportunities, reduction of unemployment and underemployment, and enhancement of the welfare of a working person.
The LFS covers employment characteristics of the population based on a “past week” reference period.
PSO Catubuan said that the reporting unit for this survey is the household, which means that the statistics emanating from this survey will refer to the characteristics of the population residing in the households.
Hence, persons who reside in the institutions are not within the scope of the survey as clarified by Mrs. Catubuan.
LFS has two rider surveys-- the Annual Poverty Indicator Survey and Water Quality Testing.
Mrs. Catubuan urges respondents to give truthful and correct data to researchers.
She assured respondents that all information will be treated with strict confidentiality and cannot be used for taxation, investigation or law enforcement purposes.
