THE Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZimStat) will be conducting the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) for the third quarter of 2022 starting today and running up to August 12.
ZimStat said the survey is being conducted in selected enumeration areas across all the country’s 10 provinces.
“During the survey, trained ZimStat personnel comprising supervisors, team leaders and enumerators will be in the field undertaking the exercise and will will be carrying official identification letters.
“The QLFS questionnaire will be soliciting the following information for all persons staying in selected households: demographic, adult and child functioning; education; migration; employment and unemployment; social security and job losses,” said ZimStat in a notice to the public.
ZimStat said the QLFS will be conducted under the provisions of the Census and Statistics Act and information collected is strictly confidential and will be used for statistical purposes only.
Added ZimStat: “The survey intends to produce key labour market indications which include but not limited to levels of formal and informal employment, unemployment and labour underutilisation indicators as well as job losses that have occurred during three months prior to the survey interview date. The survey data also feeds into compilation of quarterly Gross Domestic Product (GDP).”
ZimStat called for full cooperation from all sampled households in the enumerations areas.
