Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The sample is based on two-stage sampling procedure. In the first stage are selected the geographical areas (PSU) with a proportional probability to the size of the enumeration area. In the second stage within each geographical areas (once selected in the first stage) are selected a fix number of households by equal probability systematic sampling method. For the years 2007-2011, the sample-taken for each PSU was 12 households
The sampling frame for LFS is based on the Population Census of 2001 and the updated household list. Two sample stage selections are done: in the first step were chosen geographic zones or primary sampling units (PSU), and in the second stage were selected the families inside these selected zones. The sample size for LFS 2011 was 7,300 households in the whole country.

Weighting
The LFS methodology is in full accordance with the EUROSTAT standards and guidelines as regards to the representation of sample, coefficient of the variation of the main indicators, the drafting and the weighting of data. The sampling weights are calculated following several steps and take into account the sample design, adjustment for the household level no-responses, and the calibration with the demographic data. Data weighting was based on the 2011 annual average population that was estimated according to Census 2011 data.
