Since 1990, the survey is being conducted quarterly. 2008 is the nineteenth successive year in which the survey has been repeated. Amongst other figures, Provincial level estimates are taken from the Annual LFS 2007 data file which is a combination of all the four quarterly files processed for the year 2008. v1.0: Full edited dataset, for internal DPD use. LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT [3] The employment/unemployment data are required at very short intervals to monitor the program made in the employment generating policies of the government. To satisfy this need, Sri Lanka Labour Force Survey was designed as a quarterly basis survey to measure the levels and trends of employment, unemployment and labour force in Sri Lanka. Thus the survey is repeated four times each year since the first quarter of 1990. Key objectives of the survey - To study the economically active / inactive population. - To analyze employment by major industry group and employment status. - To determine unemployment rates by level of education and by age group - To study the informal sector employment. - To determine the underemployment rates by sector and by major industries Sri Lanka National coverage. [Excluding the Northern Provinces] This survey covered persons living in housing units only and, it excludes the institutional population. Individuals from the population aged 10 years or more Working age population (10 years and above) living in the non-institutional households in Sri Lanka Sample survey data [ssd] The scope of LFS 2008 includes the following key sections:- 1). Identification Information 2). Control Data 3). Personal Information 4). Information on Labour Force Identification and Personal Information are as follows:- Identification Information - Address, Province, District, D.S. Division, G. N. Division, Sector, Name of MC/UC/PS - Name of Ward/Village/Estate, Census Block Number, Sample Reference Number - Survey Quarter, Number of households, Name of the Head of the household - Identifications of Interviewers & Supervising Officers Personal Information - Relationship to Head of Household, Gender, Age, Ethnic Group, Religion, Marital Status - Educational Attainment, Attendance at Schooling or other Educational Institution - Professional / Technical Training, Persons who are working abroad Department of Census and Statistics 2.1 Sampling plan and the sampling frame A two stage stratified sampling procedure was adopted to select a sample of 22,500 housing units to be enumerated in the survey. The master sampling frame prepared for 2001 Census of Population and Housing was used as the sampling frame for the selection of sample for the labour force survey 2008. 2.2 Sample size The quarterly survey was conducted since 1990 using a sample of 2,000 housing units per quarter in areas other than North and East, and the sample size was increased to 4,000 housing units per quarter in 1996 and continued thereafter. However, in 1992 and 1997, an annual sample of 20,000 housing units was selected to give reliable estimates of district level. In 2004 again 20,000 housing units were selected for the survey. However, in order to provide district level estimates precisely, it was decided to use 20,000 - 25,000 housing units as the annual sample from 2006. As such, in 2008, the annual sample of 22,500 housing units were selected. 2.3 Sample Allocation Allocation of 2,250 Primary Sampling Units (PSU’s) for the districts and sectors were done using the Neymann Allocation procedure which considers the variance of unemployment rate as usually. The allocated sample for each district then equally distributed among the 12 monthly rounds. Table 1 gives the sample distributions by district for year 2008. Table 1: Sample allocation by district - 2008 District Housing District Housing Units Units Total 22,500 Mullaitivu 380 Colombo 2,170 Kilinochchi 390 Gampaha 1,920 Batticaloa 550 Kalutara 1,210 Ampara 900 Kandy 1,400 Trincomalee 390 Matale 610 Kurunegala 1,680 Nuwara Eliya 600 Puttalam 840 Galle 1,200 Anuradhapura 960 Matara 970 Polonnaruwa 500 Hambantota 840 Badulla 860 Jaffna 720 Moneragala 550 Mannar 390 Ratnapura 1,160 Vavuniya 390 Kegalle 950 2.4 Selection of Primary Sampling Units (PSU) Primary sampling units are the census blocks prepared for the Census of Population and Housing - 2001. The sample frame, which is a collection of all census blocks in the domain, was used for the selection of primary sampling units. A sample of 2,250 primary sampling units was selected from the sampling frame for the 2008 labour force survey. 2.5 Selection of Secondary Sampling Units (SSU) Secondary Sampling Units are the housing units in the selected 2,250 primary sampling units (census blocks). From each primary sampling unit 10 housing units (SSU) were selected for the survey. The field work of the survey for the year 2008 was done in all twelve months in 2008. However, in 2008, even though it was planned to conduct the labour force survey in Northern and Eastern provinces, the survey could not be conducted properly in Northern province to prevailing conditions. In year 2008 the survey was carried out in Eastern province successfully. Therefore, this report is based on a annual sample of 20,260 housing units, excluding only Northern province providing national, provincial and district level estimates with a stipulated standard errors of labour force characteristics as reported in the relevant reference periods of each 12 months of the year 2008. This survey covers persons living in housing units only and, it excludes the institutional population. Face-to-face [f2f] Survey Schedule Current survey concepts and methods are very similar to those introduced at the beginning of the survey in 1990. However, some changes have been made over the years to improve the accuracy and usefulness of the data. Beginning in January 2006, some significant improvements(1) were made to the labour force survey schedule in order to fulfill the requirements of it’s users and also to provide additional information for the planning purposes. This was done after carefully reviewing of the LFS schedule with the technical assistance provided by the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) Adviser. The revision was made focusing on literacy, household economic activities, informal sector employment and underemployment etc. This revised version was introduced for the survey conducted in 2006 first quarter, and it will be used in future as well. Field Work The field work of the survey for the year 2008 was done in all 12 months from January to December 2008. Listing operation was also staggered over a period of12 months starting from November 2007 to October 2008. For each primary sampling unit, updating was done, about two months prior to the scheduled interviewing. As such, for example, the census blocks which were surveyed in April, were updated in February. Statistical officers of the DCS were involved in the listing operation prior to the survey and also in the survey data collection operation. Each statistical officer is responsible for doing all statistical activities in a Divisional Secretariat division to which she/he is attached. These officers were given a through training before they were entrusted with the survey operations. A deputy director/Statistician is attached to each district kachcheri as in-charge of statistical activities in that district. Field supervision Senior officers of the DCS visited the Districts to check whether enumerators have done their work properly. These supervising officers were expected to submit their reports to the heads of the relevant divisions based on their observations. The estimation procedure is given in the section 2.6 in the Annual Report. The Annual Report is attched in the External Resources Section. The adjustments for non-response is given in the section 2.7 in the Annual Report. The Annual Report is attched in the External Resources Section.
