Labour Force Survey

Labour Force Surveys are statistical surveys conducted in a number of countries designed to capture data about the labour market. All European Union member states are required to conduct a Labour Force Survey annually.[1] Labour Force Surveys are also carried out in some non-EU countries.[2] They are used to calculate the International Labour Organization (ILO)-defined unemployment rate.[3] The ILO agrees the definitions and concepts employed in Labour Force Surveys.[4]
