Abstract
Labor Force Survey represents a study survey that most completely considers the labor force status and fluctuations in the labor market. In this survey, we applied the methodological solutions, harmonized with the recommendations and definitions of the International Labor Organization, ILO and the Eurostat requirements and thereby the most important source was obtained for the international comparison of data of the Republic of Serbia and other countries, regarding the field of labor statistics. The frame for the sample selection is based on the 2002 Census of population, households and dwellings.
The survey covered about 8000 households of Central Serbia and Vojvodina. The data were collected relative to the demographic features of the whole population. For the population aged 15 and above, the data on their working activity were also collected. The total of 22523 persons were interviewed and for 19845 persons the data regarding their working activity were obtained, which equals to 0.3% of the total number of persons aged 15 and above. Labor Force Survey was carried out in October 2010 and the period of observation was from 18-24 October 2010.
