1. Part I - For all persons
a) Relationship to Household Head
b) Age
c) Sex
2. Part II - For Persons 10 Years Old and Over
a) Education (Current School Attendance and Highest Educational Attainment)

National Institute of Statistics
The LFS adopted a stratified two-stage systematic sampling design with villages as the primary sampling units (PSUs) and households as secondary sampling units (SSUs).
The sample consisted of 500 villages sampled from 12,739 villages in Cambodia. Then from each sample village, a fix sample of 10 households was taken using circular systematic sampling with a random start. It covered 500 sample villages or a total of 5000 sample households nationwide.
Face-to-face [f2f]
The following are the LFS forms used during the field enumeration and a brief outline of the fieldwork procedures:
2.1 Listing Sheet (LFS Form 1)
This is a sheet containing a list the buildings, housing units and households within an enumeration area (EA). Other information pertaining to population of households was also recorded.
Listing sheet was used to record all households in the village or part thereof selected for household enumeration. The current list of households was necessary for sampling households and also as an input to derive household weights
2.2 Questionnaire (LFS Form 2)
This is the form used for interviewing and recording information about a household. This questionnaire also contains information on the demographic and economic characteristics of the population.
1. Part I - For all persons
a) Relationship to Household Head
b) Age
c) Sex
2. Part II - For Persons 10 Years and Over
a) Education (Current School Attendance and Highest Educational Attainment)
b) Current Activity (Past Week)
c) Primary Occupation
d) Economic Activity or Industry
e) Nature and Status of Employment
f) Remuneration, Earnings and Commissions Received
g) Hours Worked
h) Availability for/ Seeking Additional Work
i) Reasons for not Being Available for Work
Data collection involved the following activities:
1. Mapping - this entailed drawing of a sketch map of the enumeration area, which may be an entire village or a segment of a village randomly selected, taking into account the boundaries and physical features of the area.
2. Canvassing - a door-to-door visit in the entire enumeration area to look for enumeration units (households) to be listed to ensure a complete coverage of the area.
3. Plotting - involved listing or drawing of buildings and households on the map using specified symbols.
4. Listing - involved the listing of all households -recording the name of household head, address and number of members by sex - in the village or a village segment using a specified form (LFS Form 1).
5. Enumeration - involved the interview of 10 sample households selected systematically from the list drawn using the LFS questionnaire (LFS Form 2).
Field enumerators, supervisors and coordinator training was conducted for two days. A total of 130 staff was trained, consisting of 95 enumerators, 34 supervisors and 1 coordinator. Each interviewer was assigned selected villages based on the sampling procedure. In order to complete the data collection activity within the planned time frame, each enumerator was assigned about 40 to 70 households in four to six villages. The questionnaires were filled by the method of personal interview.
A pre-listing of households was undertaken by the enumerator to generate the current list of households, which was essential to select the sample households based on the systematic sampling procedure. In addition to preparing a current list of buildings, housing units and households certain additional information such as the number of household members, principal economic activity of the household was also collected.
After the selection of sample households, the selected households were revisited to interview one or more responsible members of the household to fill in the questionnaire.
The field control procedures provided for the supervisors to inspect and make on the spot checks while the interview was being conducted and they were also required to re-interview a sub-sample of the households already interviewed by the enumerators under his supervision. To ensure effective supervision through inspections and re-interviews, adequate funds were allocated for the payment of honoraria to supervisors for their supervisory duties. Some of the core group staff functioned as area coordinators and they were in overall charge of supervision as well as the coordination of the areas assigned to them.
The sampling design used in LF 2001 is not self-weighting. Therefore it was necessary to calculate the weights or inflation factors applicable to both villages and households of each sampled village, before the data for villages or households were aggregated. The weights for estimation of the aggregates were computed (or the villages and households in the 24 domains (or 24 provinces) into which the country is divided. The need to adjust the weights for non-response did not arise as completed questionnaires from all sampled villages and households were retrieved achieving a 100% response rate. Inflation factors were checked for each domain by comparison of the sum of the weighting factors of all sampled households which constitute an estimate of the total number of households in the domain against the total number of households for the domain in the sampling frame. The weighting factors (WEIGHT) with the corresponding identifiers of villages and households were fed as an input into the computer to be merged with the data files.
All completed questionnaires were brought to NIS for processing. Although completed questionnaires were checked and edited by supervisors in the field, because of the length of questionnaires and the complexity of the topics covered the need for manual editing and coding by trained staff was accepted as an essential priority activity to produce a cleaned data file without delay. In all 4 staff comprising 3 processing staff and 1 supervisor were trained for two days by the project staff. An instruction manual for manual editing and coding was prepared and translated into Khmer for the guidance of processing staff.
In order to produce an unedited data file, keying in the data as recorded by field enumerators and supervisors, (without subjecting data to manual edit as required by the Analysis Component Project staff), it was necessary to structure manual editing as a two-phase operation. Thus in the first phase, the processing staff coded the questions such as those industry, and occupation which required coding. Editing was restricted to selected structural edits and some error corrections. These edits were restricted to checking the completeness and consistency of responses, legibility, and totaling of selected questions. Error corrections were made without canceling or obliterating the original entry made by the enumerator, by inserting the correction close to the original entry.
Much of the manual editing was carried out in the second phase, after key entry and one hundred percent verification and extraction of error print outs. A wide range of errors had to be corrected which was expected in view of the complexity of the survey and the skill background of the enumeration and processing staff. The manual edits involved the correction of errors arising from incorrect key entry, in-correct/ failure to include identification, miss-coding of answers, failure to follow skip patterns, misinterpretation of measures, range errors, and other consistency errors.
Despite the length of the questionnaire, the respondents cooperated with the survey staff and provided answers to both questionnaires and it was possible to achieve a 100% response rate. At this stage, it is not possible to comment on item non-response, and completeness of information provided by the respondents, and the respondent's fatigue arising from the length of the interviews which may have had a bearing on these issues.
Sampling errors are those that are related to the size of the sample and the kind of samples selected. Non-sampling errors are those such as arising from errors committed by the interviewers in recording information, response errors and encoding or processing errors.
The results obtained from the survey are subject to sampling errors. Sampling errors in surveys occur as a result of limiting the survey observations to a subset rather than the whole population. These errors are related to the sample size selected and sampling design adopted in the survey. In order to maintain these errors within acceptable levels, the efficient sampling design with the sample allocation described earlier was adopted.
In addition to sampling errors, the estimates are also subject to non-sampling errors that arise in different stages of any survey operation. These include errors that are introduced at the preparatory stage errors committed during data collection including those committed by interviewers and respondents processing errors
The first item includes errors arising from questionnaire design, preparation of definitions and instructions, preparation of table formats etc. The other two categories are clear from the terminology used. The use of trained enumerators and processing staff and careful organization and thorough supervision are essential to control and minimize these errors.
As already referred to, it was possible to obtain responses from all the villages and households that were sampled, and thus it was not necessary to adjust the data for non-response. Thus the bias that is introduced into the estimates as a result of non-response was avoided.
The Statistics Law Article 22 specifies matters of confidentiality. It explicitly says that all staff working with statistics within the Government of Cambodia "shall ensure confidentiality of all individual information obtained from respondents, except under special circumstances with the consent of the Minister of Planning. The information collected under this Law is to be used only for statistical purposes."

1. Encircle the line number of the respondent. The respondent is preferably the head of the household or the spouse or any responsible member of the household, that is, person who can provide reliable information about the household.
The questionnaire for the demographic and economic characteristics of the household population is provided with 10 lines or rows and each line has a pre-coded number printed in column 1 which is the line number. This number automatically identifies each member of the household. Thus, the first member is entered on the first row with line number 01, the second member will be on the second row with line number 02, and so on.
2. Ask the respondent the question "How many persons usually reside in this household?". If for example the respondent answered 6, check line number 06. This will serve as a guide in determining whether or not all the household members have been listed. As this question is asked be sure that the concepts of household and household members have been fully explained to the respondent.
3. If there are more than 10 members in the household, you will need an additional questionnaire. In this case, you renumber the line numbers of the members listed in the additional questionnaire. Thus, line number 01 of the second questionnaire will be line number 11; line number 02 will be 12; etc. When renumbering the subsequent line numbers, cross out the original line number and write the correct line number above it.

What is [name]'s relationship to the household head?
Write the names of members of the household in column 2, and relationship to household head in column 3. Be guided by the following:
1. Begin to ascertain the members of the household by asking the respondent: "Who is the head of this household?. Then write the name of the person on the first line.
2. Proceed to ask the names of the other members of the household at the time of visit by asking, "Who are the persons usually residing in this household?". Inform the respondent that you want to list the members in the following order:
Head
Spouse of the head
Other members from oldest to youngest
But if the head has more than one spouse living in the same household, list down the name of the first spouse and their children, followed by the second spouse and their children and so on, keeping the nuclear family together, if possible.
3. You need not write the surname of the other members of the household.
4. As the respondent mentions a name, immediately ask the respondent the relationship of this person to the head of the household. Of course, each member of the household has a specific relationship to the head by virtue of his presence in the household. Such relationship may or may not be based on kinship.
Enter the appropriate code for the relationship of each household member to the head in column 3. The code should be one of those listed at the bottom part of the questionnaire:
01 Head (An adult person, male or female, who is responsible for the organization and care of the household or who is regarded as such by the member of the household.)
02 Spouse (Husband/wife)
03 Son/Daughter
04 Adopted Son/Daughter
05 Foster son/daughter
06 Step son/daughter
07 Son/daughter-in-law
08 Grandson/daughter
09 Father/Mother
10 Brother/Sister
11 Uncle/Aunt
12 Nephew/Niece
13 Other relative (Included are in laws like father or mother-in-law)
14 Boarder (Paying guests)
15 Domestic helper
16 Non-relative (Household guests or friends staying with the household for more than a year at the time of visit or persons with no other place of residence)
Note that students, boarders and guests residing and having common food arrangement with a household are considered members of the household if they have been in the household for more than a year at the time of visit, or if they have no other place of residence.
However, if there are 5 or more boarders/lodgers in a housing unit, they should not be reported as members of the household even if they meet the criteria of common food arrangement and period of stay in the household. These boarders/ lodgers are to be considered as living in a dormitory/ lodging house operated by the household.
On the other hand, persons who were absent from or left the household and have no intention to rejoin the household in the future except for short visits are not considered members of the household. Also excluded are those who were absent from the household for more than a year from the time of visit.

"Worked at all" for purposes of this survey means that a person reported to his place of work and performed his duties/activities for at least one hour during the reference week, which is the calendar week.
Work is defined as any economic activity that a person does for pay, in cash or in kind, in any establishment, office, farm, private house or for profit or without pay on family farm or enterprise.
a. Work for pay - if a person works for an employer, whether in establishment, office, farm or private residence (other than his own) and receives salary/wage, commissions, tips, in cash or in kind, or other forms of compensation such as free meals, and/or free living quarters, support in school, etc.
b. Work for profit - if a self-employed person works for profit in own business such as sari-sari store, farm, dress shop or for fees in practice of one's profession or trade.
The following activities are considered work for profit:
• Gardening in at least 100 sq. meters of solid patches (the plants not scattered all around) whether the produce is mainly for sale or for family consumption.
• Gardening in less than 100 sq. meters if the produce is mainly for sale.
• Fishing, occasional gathering of forest or marine products mainly for sale.
• Cultivation of at least 300 sq. meters of land for temporary, annual or biennial crops or shrubs, or maintenance of an orchard of at least the same area even though the time spent is minimal.
• Raising of ornamental plants and flowers, seedling, black pepper or betel leaf for sale even if less than 100 sq. meters.
• Raising of the following number of fowls or animals during the reference period:
Fowls of at least 1 month old:
i) 30 or more chicken or ducks
ii) 10 or more turkeys or geese
iii) 50 or more pigeons
iv) 100 or more quails
or a proportional of the above as in case of 40 pigeons and 6 chickens or ducks; or 80 quails and 10 pigeons.
Animals
i) 3 or more pigs at least 3 months old
ii) 3 or more goats
iii)10 or more rabbits
iv)1 cattle, carabao or horse
or a proportional combination of the above, for example, 7 rabbits and 1 pig or 4 rabbits and 1 pig or goat
• Making a single article for sale
Note: For any of the activities mentioned above, if the produce is intended for home consumption, there must be harvest of crops, disposal of fowls or animals, either through own consumption, barter, given away or sold to consider the activity as work.
c. Work without pay on family farm or enterprise - if a person works without pay on a farm or enterprise that is operated by another family member in the same household.
Examples:
- A daughter who works without pay as salesgirl in a store operated by her mother
- A wife typing at home without pay for her husband who is an independent practising lawyer
- A nephew who works without pay in the clinic of his uncle with whom he lives
d. Work by farm operator/ family member on another's farm on exchange of labor - if a farm operator or a member of his family works on a farm being operated by another household on exchange labor arrangements. This is usually practiced by agricultural workers during the height of rice planting and harvesting seasons.
Employed persons are those who were reported to be either at work or with a job or
business although not at work during the reference week. Persons at work are those who did some work, at least for an hour, during the reference period (past calendar week).
Persons are also considered employed if they are with a job or business even though not at work during the reference period because of temporary illness/injury, vacation or other leave of absence, bad weather, strike/labor disputes or other reasons.

If 1(Yes), go to Col. 11
This is a probing question to determine whether the person was engaged in the production and processing of primary products, for sale or for own consumption. Note that "work" includes certain types of non-market production, namely: the production of primary products for own consumption (as growing a home garden or raising poultry or livestock); the processing of primary commodities for own consumption by the producers of those items (such as drying own vegetables for later use); and the production of fixed assets for own use (such as building a house or rice paddy dike). Excluded are unpaid services like doing household chores such as cooking for the household and taking care of children.
In this column, ask the respondent for each household member: "During the past week, did ____ do any of the following: grow crops or vegetables, raise livestock or chicken, clean or till land, gather firewood, hunt, catch fish, weave cloth, basket or mat?". If Yes enter code "1" and go to Col. 11. Otherwise, enter code "2".

Occupation refers to the type of work, trade or profession performed by the individual during the past week such as paddy farmer, physician, primary school teacher, carpenter, beauty parlor operator, etc.. If the person is not at work but with a job, occupation refers to the kind of work the person will be doing when he reports for work or will be doing if he is merely waiting for a new job to begin within two weeks from the date of the interview.
In case a person is involved two or more economic activities, the one where he works
more hours is considered his main occupation. If however, these economic activities have equal hours of work, the main occupation is considered to be the one where the person derives the highest income.

In what kinf od economic activity or industry did [name] during the past week?
The work reported in column 12 should be classified according to the kind of economic activity or industry. Ask the respondent: "In what kind of economic activity or industry did ___ work during the past week?". In this portion, you should exert utmost effort to let the respondent give you the description of the nature of work or kind of business or industry such as farm, fishing, plastic factory, school, etc. Record the response in column 14 the kind of business/industry for the person's primary occupation.
Do not be satisfied with the answers like firm names such as JMK Technologies, Phnom Penh Supply Co., etc. since they do not necessarily describe the economic activity or the industry. Probe and try to elicit from the respondent the information about the kind of product (if manufacturing firm) or the kind of service that a company is engaged in, for example, selling computers.
Moreover, if work is pursued in a big company that is engaged in several types of activities, report the nature of the particular activity of the company in which the person is working.
If work is for government office or institution, the name of the office, bureau, public school, etc. may be accepted such as EDC. If work is for executive branch of a local government, indicate whether it is provincial, district or commune.

Status of Employment refers to the status of an economically active person with respect to his or her employment. That is, whether he or she was employed as an employer, own account worker, employee, unpaid family worker, or a member of a producer's cooperative during the past week.
Employer - a person who operates his or her own economic enterprise or engages independently in a profession or trade, and hires one or more employees, including paid family members.
Domestic helpers, family drivers and other households’ helpers who assist in the family-operated business, regardless of time spent in this activity, are not hired employees in the business. Hence, a farm or business proprietor who is assisted purely by such domestic help is not considered an employer.
For example, a retail store operator who is wholly assisted in the operation of his store by unpaid relatives living with him and who employs a carpenter to construct a new building for his store (with operator supervising the work) is not an employer. However, if an operator happens to be the owner or partner of a big firm, which has its own construction unit to take care of its needs, the operator is an employer.
Own-account Worker - a person who operates his or her own economic enterprise or engages independently in a profession or trade, and does not hire any employees.
Employee - a person who works for a public or private sector employer and receives remuneration in wages, salary, commission, tips, piece-rates or payment in kind.
This category includes the following types of workers:
a. Persons working for a private household like domestic helper, households cook, gardener, family driver, etc.;
b. Persons working for a private establishment/industry like:
- persons working in public works projects on private contracts;
- public transport drivers who do not own the vehicle but drive the vehicle on boundary basis;
- dock hands or stevedores;
- cargo handlers at railroad stations or pier;
- paddy harvester getting fixed share of harvest paddy;
c. Persons working for a religious group (monk), missionary (nuns, sisters, etc.), union and non-profit organizations;
d. Persons working for the government or government corporation or any of its instrumentalities;
e. Cambodians working in embassies, legation, chancelleries or consulates of foreign governments in Cambodia;
f. Cambodians working in international organization of Sovereign States of Governments like the United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO), etc.; and
g. Persons working purely on a commission basis and who may not have regular working hours.
Unpaid Family Worker - usually a person without pay in an economic enterprise
operated by a related person living in the same household. The room and board and cash allowance given as incentives is not counted as compensation for these family workers.
Others - experienced workers whose status is unknown or inadequately described (i.e. new entrants, apprentices)
