    Labor Force Survey [hh/lfs]

    Series Information

    The survey has been conducted in Russia since 1992. In 1992-1994, 1997, 1998. it was held once a year as of the last week of October, in 1995. 2 surveys were conducted - as of the last week of March and October, in 1996. - as of the last week of March; since 1999 to August 2009 The survey was conducted at quarterly intervals. Since September 2009 The survey was transferred to the monthly frequency as of the second week of the month.
    During the period of each survey, about 70 thousand people were polled (0.06% of the population of the subject age). In the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, a different proportion of the selection is applied, taking into account the total population and the relative variation in the "unemployment rate" indicator.

    Abstract

    The purpose of the labor force survey is to obtain information on the size and composition of the labor force (employed and unemployed), the level of participation in the labor force, the level of employment and unemployment and their dynamics in Russia and the subjects of the Russian Federation.

    Notes

    The survey covers the following topics:

    • Household members personal data;
    • Household members employment data.

    Coverage

    Geographic Coverage

    The survey is conducted in all constituent entities of the Russian Federation on the basis of a sample method of observation with the subsequent distribution of the results to the entire population of the subject age.

    Universe

    The selection units are private households; units of observation - persons aged 15 to 72 years - members of these households. The minimum age limit of the surveyed population (15 years) is determined taking into account UN methodological principles and recommendations for population and housing censuses, the maximum limit (72 years) is based on the availability of labor force among older people. Persons living in boarding schools, boarding schools for the elderly and other institutional institutions, dormitories, monasteries and other collective living quarters are not examined.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The sample for conducting a labor force survey is based on the primary information array of the All-Russian Population Census, containing information on the permanent population, i.e. population permanently residing in the territory of the corresponding district, city, settlement. The construction of a sample network of households for conducting labor force surveys is carried out in accordance with the adopted two-stage sampling model. At the first stage, a selective array of primary selective units is formed.

    The counting section of the population census was adopted as the primary sample unit. At the second stage, households are selected in the enumeration areas selected at the first stage, where information is collected on persons in the surveyed age. A standard systematic selection procedure is applied to household sampling, in which the start of selection is determined randomly. Systematic selection of households is carried out from an ordered list of households, taking into account their stratification in two ways: the size of the household and the type of dwelling.

    Weighting

    Weighing and dissemination of data is performed at the level of the subject of the Russian Federation. The methodology for weighing and disseminating sample survey data is based on assigning the appropriate individual weight to each individual observation unit - person. The method of iterative weighting of the sample is used, using as a general aggregate the data of current calculations of the population at the beginning of the corresponding year.

    The procedure is to compare the sample of the Russian Federation sample (number of surveyed citizens), stratified by gender, five-year age groups, type of settlement (urban, rural) with the general population of the population according to current calculations, stratified by the same characteristics.
    Upon completion of the weighing procedure, each examined person is assigned an individual weight, which is recorded as a derived attribute in the database of individual data.

    Data processing

    Data Editing

    The formation of aggregated data, distributed to the general population, is carried out using the microdata base for the primary and derived survey characteristics and individual weights of the examined people.
    The size of the monthly sample provides representative results within a given degree of accuracy in the whole of the Russian Federation for specified development cuts. For the subjects of the Russian Federation, in order to increase the representativeness of the data, survey indicators are generated from a set of three consecutive samples (data generated on the basis of one monthly sample contain a large sampling error, therefore they are not formed). The most accurate are average annual data. Processing of survey data is carried out for statistical purposes, subject to the mandatory depersonalization of personal data received from each interviewee.
