Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (Zimstat) will be conducting the Quarterly Labour Force Survey second-quarter data collection from July 29 to August 11, 2024.
The survey will be conducted in selected enumeration areas across all the 10 provinces of Zimbabwe.
In a statement, Zimstat public relations and communication manager, Mrs Mercy Chidemo said during the survey, trained Zimstat personnel comprising supervisors, team leaders and enumerators will be in the field undertaking the exercise.
“The questionnaire will be soliciting demographic, adult and child functioning, education, migration, employment and unemployment, social security and job losses,” she said.
“The survey intends to produce key labour market indicators which include but are 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 before the survey interview date.”
The survey data also feeds into the compilation of quarterly Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
“The data collection 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. Zimstat seeks cooperation from all stakeholders,” Mrs Chidemo said more information about the census can be obtained from Zimstat provincial managers or statisticians across the country’s 10 provinces.
