LABOUR FORCE SURVEY
The LFS is a sample survey and is conducted annually in the
spring of each year in all member states of the European
Community. The main purpose of the survey is to obtain
comparable data on the characteristics of the workforce in each
country and region of the EC. The sample of addresses for LFS
is obtained from the Rating Valuation lists for Northern
Ireland. A random sample of approximately one per cent of
domestic properties (5,200 addresses) is chosen from the lists,
and interviews conducted by interviewers employed by Statistics
and Social Division, PPRU, Department of Finance and Personnel.
At each address LFS interviewers collect information on the
economic status and activity of all residents aged 16 and over
during the week ending Sunday prior to the date of interview
(termed the reference week). Information on household size and
composition is also recorded for each address.
