Up to 2009-2010, when the LFS was carried out, Timor-Leste has had only limited labour statistics available. These came mainly from data about the seekers for jobs and training who were registered at the District Employment Centres. Other sources of information were the programmes implemented and services provided by the Secretariat of State for Vocational Training and Employment (SEFOPE). This meant that most of the economically active population, including job seekers who do not register at Employment Centres, were not covered by any statistics. Employment Unemployment Time Related Underemployment Migration & Remittances Wages Household Income Education Individual characteristics Training (outside general education system) Timor-Leste National coverage Sample survey data [ssd] Face-to-face [f2f] It is difficult to measure the true response rate on this survey because of the method used for selecting the households to be interviewed. Three interviewers were working in each EA. Each interviewer had five specific households to visit, and kept three households in reserve. If any of those five households could not be located, or had moved, or was out at the time of the interviewer’s visits (even after repeated visits), or refused, or was otherwise not available, the interviewer was allowed to take the first replacement household. There was officially zero nonresponse, with all quotas successfully filled and all household questionnaires being marked with code 1 (‘completed - fully responding household’). Because the LFS is a sample survey, all estimates are subject to sampling error. Sampling errors have not been included in this report, but all reported figures have been rounded to the nearest thousand in order to make some allowance for the effects of sampling error.
