The Enumeration Area Reference File (EARF) of the 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) was utilized as sampling frame. The EARF contains the number of households by enumeration area (EA) in each barangay.  This frame was used to form the primary sampling units (PSUs).  With consideration of the period for which the 2003 MS will be in use, the PSUs were formed\/defined as a barangay or a combination of barangays with at least 500 households.\n \nStratification Scheme\n\nStartification involves the division of the entire population into non-overlapping subgroups called starta.  Prior to sample selection, the PSUs in each domain were stratified as follows:\n          1) All large PSUs were treated as separate strata and were referred to as certainty selections (self-representing PSUs).  A PSU was considered large if it has a large probability of selection.\n          2) All other PSUs were then stratified by province, highly urbanized city (HUC) and independent component city (ICC).\n          3) Within each province\/HUC\/ICC, the PSUs were further stratified or grouped with respect to some socio-economic variables that were related to poverty incidence.  These variables were: (a) the proportion of strongly built houses (PSTRONG); (b) an indication of the proportion of households engaged in agriculture (AGRI); and (c) the per-capita income (PERCAPITA).          \n \nSample Selection \n \nTo have some control over the subsample size, the PSUs were selected with probability proportional to some estimated measure of size. The size measure refers to the total number of households from the 2000 CPH. Because of the wide variation in PSU sizes, PSUs with selection probabilities greater than 1 were identified and were included in the sample as certainty selections. \n\nAt the second stage, enumeration areas (EAs) were selected within sampled PSUs, and at the third stage, housing units were selected within sampled EAs. Generally, all households in sampled housing units were enumerated, except for few cases when the number of households in a housing unit exceeds three. In which case, a sample of three households in a sampled housing unit was selected at random with equal probability. \n\nAn EA is defined as an area with discernable boundaries within barangays, consisting of about 150 contiguous households. These EAs were identified during the 2000 CPH. A housing unit is a structurally separate and independent place of abode which, by the way it has been constructed, converted, or arranged, is intended for habitation by a household \n\nSample Size\n \nThe 2003 Master Sample consist of a sample of 2,835 PSUs of which 330 were certainty PSUs and 2,505 were non certainty PSUs. The number of households for the 2000 CPH was used as measure of size. The entire MS was divided into four sub-samples or independent replicates, such as a quarter sample contains one fourth of the PSUs found in one replicate; a half-sample contains one-half of the PSUs in two replicates.  Thus, the survey covers a nationwide sample of about 51,000 households deemed sufficient to measure the levels of employment and unemployment at the national and regional levels.\n \nStrategy for non-response\n\nReplacement of sample households within the sample housing units is allowed only if the listed sample households had moved out of the housing unit.  Replacement should be the household currently residing in the sample housing unit previously occupied by the original sample.","coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]","research_instrument":"ISH Form 2 (LFS questionnaire) is a four-page, forty four-column questionnaire that is being used in the quarterly rounds of the Labor Force Survey nationwide. This questionnaire gathers data on the demographic and economic characteristics of the population.\n\nOn the first page of the questionnaire, the particulars about the geographic location, design codes and household auxiliary information of the sample household that is being interviewed are to be recorded. Certifications by the enumerator and his supervisor regarding the manner by which the data are collected are likewise to be made on this page.\n\nThe inside pages of the questionnaire contain the items to be determined about each member of the sample household. Columns 2 to 11 are for the demographic characteristics; columns 2 to 7A are to be ascertained of all members of the household regardless of age. Columns 8 to 9 are asked for members 5 years old and over, while column 10 is asked for members 5 to 24 years old, column 11, for 15 years old and over, while columns 12 to 16 are asked for members 5 years old and over. Items 18 to 44 on the other hand, are the series of items that will be asked of all the members 15 years old and over to determine their labor force and employment characteristics.\n\nMost of the questions have pre-coded responses. The possible answers with their corresponding codes are printed at the bottom of the page for easy reference. Only the appropriate codes need to be entered in the cells. Other items, however, require write-in entries such as column 14 (primary occupation) and column 16 (kind of business\/industry), etc. For such items, it is required that the enumerator describes the primary occupation or kind of business\/industry.\n\nThe ISH Form 2 is provided as external resources.","coll_situation":"Training:\nThere were three levels of training:\n- The first level involves the training of task force members conducted at the Central Office participated by selected central office personnel, selected regional or provincial staff.  \n- The second level training was held at the Regional Offices participated by the Provincial Statistical Officers, Regional Statisticians, and Provincial Statisticians.

The final weights should be used in all analyses to produce valid estimates of population parameters.\nMore detailed explanation on the estimation procedure is provided in the Technical Documents.","cleaning_operations":"Data processing involves two stages: manual processing and machine processing. \n \nManual processing is done at the provincial offices.

Machine processing involved all operations that were done with the use of a computer and\/or its accessories, that is, from data encoding to tabulation. Coded data were usually in diskettes or CDs. \nMachine editing was preferred to ensure correctness of encoded information. Data entry errors as well as that of the manual processing were identified using a consistency check computer program and were given necessary corrections as per verification of the field offices.
