Abstract
These survey results mainly provide data on the main characteristics of employed and unemployed, that is, the work force engaged or available to be engaged in the production of economic goods and services and its distribution in the various sectors of the economy during a given reference period. To capture child labour data, the former minimum age limit 10 years was lower down to 5 years during the survey periods May 2009 and May 2010. Therefore, the data in these surveys was collected from those persons aged five years and over. However, for the purpose of measuring the economic activity status based on Ethiopian situation the lower age limit was fixed at ten years. This is because children in rural and urban areas used to work at their early age such as collection of fire wood, looking after cattle, shoeshine, street vendor, petty trading…etc. Therefore, the May 2010 Urban Employment and Unemployment Survey statistical report is mainly aimed at providing information on the economic characteristics of the population aged ten years and over. In addition, a separate section that deals with filtering question for informal employment sector were also attached to the main questionnaire as a module. Except this section, almost similar questions that were used for the fourth round are administered in this series. This statistical report presents a brief introduction of each chapter including basic concepts based on ILO standard definitions together with statistical tables.
