ILO Labour Force Survey toolkit
Labour force surveys (LFS) are the main source for many key indicators of the labour market and the world of work. To support countries in conducting their national LFS in line with international standards, the ILO Department of Statistics developed an LFS toolkit which features a model survey questionnaire, a national adaptation guide, a variable derivation guide, a syntax sample, and many more resources. Discover the ILO LFS toolkit with this video, and check its contents in its page: https://ilostat.ilo.org/resources/lfs.
