The Statistics Division has announced the resumption of the 2022 Labour Force Survey (LFS).
The Statistics Division suspended data collection for the Labour Force Survey on 11th January ahead of the general elections which took place a week later.
On Wednesday, the Statistics Division revealed that enumerators are back in the field.
The agency is also calling for the public to continue to support and cooperate with enumerators to ensure the success of the survey.
The LFS was to have concluded in December 2022, however, several factors, including poor weather, hampered its progress.
As a result, the LFS has been extended to the end of the first quarter of this year.
As the process resumes, the Statistics Division has reconfirmed that the information collected will be aggregated and held in strict confidence. The data collected will only be used for statistical purposes and to provide important labour market statistics for the country.
Once the information has been processed, the information derived from the LFS will be used to produce socioeconomic data which is vital in enhancing the country’s ability to carefully plan and monitor the development of its people, achieve national objectives, and fulfil regional obligations.
The data from the LFS will also enable policy makers to come to informed decisions regarding the labour market.
