Mongolia conducted Labour Force Survey (LFS) in 2002-2003, for the first time on a quarterly basis. The LFS was financially supported by the International Labour Organization and conducted according to internationally accepted methodologies. Since 2006, the LFS has been conducted on a quarterly basis according to the amendments reflected in 2004 in the Law on Statistics of Mongolia. In 2002-2003, 2006-2007 years the LFS was conducted with Child Labour Survey. In 2007-2008 the Informal Sector Survey was conducted with LFS.
The main objective of the survey is to update and expand the labor force statistical baseline, fully capture and analyze the employment pattern. The survey results will provide an importance reference for policy and decision makers, business entrepreneurs, analysts and government officers to develop as well as monitor and assess the implementation of government policies and programs on employment promotion and poverty and unemployment reduction and support the effective labor market.
The survey aims at collecting the comprehensive set of data from households to estimate employment and unemployment characteristics which capture the seasonal variability, location, social and economic activities in accordance with the definition and methodology of the International Labour Organization.
The survey was designed to interview a representative national sample of about 12,816 households from Ulaanbaatar and urban and rural areas of 4 regions. At this level of disaggregation the sample would be sufficient to produce estimates of high levels of precision in respect of selected employment characteristics.
