AFRICA Administrator CARMELITA N. ERICTA Deputy Administrator ISSN 0116-2624FOREWORD The Labor Force Survey (LFS) provides estimates on the size of the labor force, levels of employment, unemployment and underemployment. It has served as the major vehicle wherein other household-based surveys of different purposes are conducted as rider activity. The LFS adopted a new sampling design constructed from the listing of the 1995 Census of Population starting July 1996. A new set of sample barangays and sample households were drawn from said listings. The new master sample consists of an expanded sample of 3,416 sample barangays designed to improve the precision of provinciallevel estimates from the household surveys. The October 2000 LFS used the expanded sample which has a national sample of about 41,000 households. Starting with the October 2000 round of the Labor Force Survey, the population projection based on the 1995 Census of Population was adopted to generate the labor force and employment statistics. The said methodology is in compliance with NSCB Resolution No. 13 series of 1999 entitled “Adopting the Methodology Used in Generating City/Municipal Population Projections, 1995- 2010". Final results of the October 2000 Labor Force Survey (LFS) are presented in this publication. included in this publication are highlights on the October 2000 LFS results. Data from previous labor force surveys are also included for comparative purposes. Additional tables on employment status using the international Labor Organization (iLO) concept are also included in this issue. The NSO gratefully acknowledges the 41 thousand respondents to the survey without whose cooperation the generation of key employment indicators would not have been possible. The concerted effort of the NSO Central and Field Office personnel ensured the successful completion of the survey. oe AFRICA Admminsgtrator Manila, Philippines April 20012P Bove ° ey Luzon erear Coxdilera Adeninistrative Region (CAR) , Region tt CAGAYAN, iN VALLEY, Region | Region I CENTRAL LUZON Region (NCR) VaS ANiddIMHd ‘SOUTH CHINA SEA Regoniv SOUTHERN TAGALOG: aaeatnw sutusea CENTRAL VISAYAS.

Labor represents an important factor of production, hence, the improvement of the quality of the labor force and efforts to make it more productive and responsive to growth are necessary for the development of the economy. A clear knowledge and understanding of the size, composition and other characteristics of the segment of the population is a big step in this direction. A continuing supply of data on labor force is indispensable to national as well as regional planning Objectives of the Survey The Labor Force Survey (LFS) aims to provide a quantitative framework for the preparation of plans and formulation of policies affecting the labor market Specifically, the survey is designed to provide statistics on levels and trends of employment, unemployment and underemployment for the country, as a whole, and for each of the administrative regions, including provinces and key cities Scope and Coverage of the Survey Starting July 1987, the LFS uses a new questionnaire design and adopts modifications in the concepts and definitions for measuring labor force and employment characteristics. The design is based on a past week reference period and new concept of availability and looking for work is adopted. Since July 1996, the Labor Force Survey (LFS) used the new sampling design constructed from the listings of the 1995 Census of Population. The number of sample households increased from 26,000 to an expanded sample of about 41,000 households deemed sufficient to provide more precise and reliable estimates at the provincial/key city levels The survey involves the collection of data on demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the population in general. The reporting unit is the household which means that the statistics emanatingfrom this survey refers to the characteristics of the population residing in private households. Persons who belong to the institutional population are not within the scope of the survey 2. CONCEPTS, DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS. This section presents the important concepts used in the LFS. Concepts and definitions mentioned in previous Integrated Survey of Households (ISH) series are in most cases the same as those in this one. 2.4 Barangay A city or municipality is composed of several barangays, the smallest political subdivision in the country. For purposes of enumeration in the LFS, a barangay is considered the basic geographic enumeration area 2.2 Urban - Rural Areas The following guidelines used in the 1980 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) are adopted in classifying urban areas. a In their entirety, all cities and municipalities having a population density of at least 1,000 persons per square kilometer. b Poblaciones or centrai districts of municipalities and cities which have a population density of at least 500 persons per square kilometer ¢. Poblaciones or central districts [not included in (a) and (b)] regardless of the population size, which have the following: i. Street pattern, i.e., network of streets in either parallel or right angie orientation: ii, At least six establishments (commercial, manufacturing, recreational, and/or personal services at least once a month) iii, At least three of the following 1) A town hall, church or chapel with religious services at least ‘once a month. 2) A public plaza or cemetery. xi2.3 24 2.5 3) A public plaza or building where trading activities are carried on at least once a month 4) A public building like school, hospital, puericulture and health center or library d. Barangays having at least 1,000 inhabitants meeting the conditions set forth in (c) above, and where the occupation of the inhabitants is predominantly non-farming or non-fishing All areas not failing under any of the above classifications are considered rural Household A household is an aggregate of persons, generally but not necessarily bound by ties of kinship, who live together under the same roof and eat together or share in common the household food. Members comprise the head of the household, relatives living with him, and other persons who share the community life for reasons of work or other consideration. A person who lives alone is considered a separate household Reference Period The reference period for this survey is the “past week” referring to the past seven (7) days preceding the date of visit of the enumerator or interviewer. Employment Status Concepts 2.5.1 In the Labor Force or Economically Active Population. This refers to population 15 years old and over who are either employed or unemployed in accordance with the definitions described below. 2.8.2 Employed. Employed persons include all those who, during the reference period are 15 years and over as of their last birthday and are reported either: a. At work. Those who do any work even for one hour during the reference period for pay or profit, or work without pay on the farm or business enterprise operated by a member of the same household related by blood, marriage or adoption; or xi2.6.3 2.5.4 2.5.5 2.5.6 b. With a job but not at work. Those who have a job or business but are not at work because of temporary iliness/injury, vacation or other reasons. Likewise, persons who expect to report for work or to start operation of a farm or business enterprise within two weeks from the date of the enumerator's visit, are considered employed. Underemployed. Underemployed persons include ail employed persons who express the desire to have additional hours of work in their present job or an additional job, or to have a new job with longer working hours. Visibly underemployed persons are those who work for less than 40 hours during the reference period and want additional hours of work Unemployed. Unemployed persons include all those who, during the reference period are 15 years old and over as of their last birthday who have no job/business and actively looking for work. Also considered as unemployed ase persons without a job or business who are reported not looking for work because of their belief that no work was available or because of temporary iliness/disability, bad weather, pending job application or waiting for job interview. Persons Not in the Labor Force. Persons 15 years old and over who are neither employed nor unemployed according to the definitions mentioned. Those not in the labor force are those persons who are not looking for work because of reasons such as housekeeping, schooling, etc. Examples are housewives, students, disabled or retired persons. Determination of Employment Status. The employment status of persons 15 years and over is determined on the basis of answers to a series of inter-related questions which are described below: a “Oi do any work at all even for only one hour during the past week? This question is asked to identity the employed persons. “Work at all’ for purposes of this survey means that a person reported to his place of work and performed his duties/activities: for at least one hour during the reference week. If a person reported that he did some work, not counting chores around the house, he is still considered in the employed category although most of his time was devoted to household chores. All persons not identified by the above question as employed are asked the following questions though ____ did not work, did ____ have a job or business during the past week?" Some persons may not have work at all during the past week but may actually have jobs or businesses which they are temporarily not reporting to, as in the following cases: an employee on strike: a person temporarily laid off due to non-economic reasons like machine breakdown; a person with a new job to begin xivwithin two weeks from the date of interview; regular and temporary teachers, excluding substitutes, during summer vacation who still receive pay and who expect to go back to their jobs in the next school year. These persons are considered employed even though they are not actually at work. ¢. “Did ____ look for work at any time during the past week?" This question is asked to determine who among those who had no job/business had really done something to look for work. If a person looked for work, he or she is classified as unemployed, otherwise, the next question asked is to determine whether a person should be classified as unemployed or not in the labor force d. “Why did ____ not look for work?" This question seeks to determine if the main reason for not looking for work is valid (see definition of unemployed) in which case the person is considered unemployed. \f the answer to this question is schooling, housekeeping, too young/old or retired/petmanent disability or other reasons not considered valid, then the person is excluded from the labor force Work Work means something a person does during the past week, for pay in cash or in kind, in any establishment, office, farm, private home or for profit or without pay an a family farm or enterprise. It also includes what a farm operator or member of the operator's family does on the farm operated by another household on exchange labor arrangement. In addition to the above, any activity that a person does during the past week in relation to minor activities in home gardening, raising of crops, fruits, hogs, poultry etc., fishing for home consumption and manufacturing for own use are also considered work. However, there must be some harvest in the case of home gardening, raising of crops, fruits and nuts and gathering of wild fruits and vegetables: animals disposed of (sold, consumed, bartered or given away) or Some catch in fishing in order that these activities will be considered work Occupation and Industry The data on occupation and industry relate to the job held by employed persons during the past week. Occupation refers to the specific kind of work a person does while industry refers to the nature or character of the business or enterprise or the place wherein a person2.8 works. Persons employed with two or more jobs are reported in the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours during the past week The occupational and industrial categories used in the survey are the 1977 Philippine Standard Classifications recommended by the Statistical Advisory Board in its Resolution No. 3 - 76. The 1977 Philippine Standard Occupational Classification and the Philippine Standard Industrial Classification are the results of the coordinative and cooperative efforts of the Statistical Programs and Standards Staff of the National Economic and Development Board (NEDA) and Inter-Agency Committee on Philippine Standard Classification, NEDA Class of Worker Employed persons are classified according to seven categories, namely: Worked for private household. These are employed persons working in a private household for pay, in cash or in kind. Examples are domestic helper, household cook, gardener, family driver. Worked for private establishment. These are persons working in a private establishment for pay, in cash or in kind. This category includes not only persons working for a private industry but also those working for a religious group, missionary, unions, and non-profit organizations Examples of persons working for a private establishment are public transport drivers who do not own the vehicle but drive them on boundary basis, persons working in public works projects on private contractors, dock hands or stevedores, cargo handlers in railroad stations or piers, etc Worked for government/government corporation. These are persons working for the government or a government corporation or, any of its instrumentalities. This category of worker includes the following workers chaplains in the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Filipinos working in embassies, legation, chancellaries or consulates of foreign government in the Philippines and those working in international organizations of Sovereign States of Governments like the United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO), etc. Self-employed. These are persons who operate their own businesses or trades and do not employ paid workers in the conduct of their economic activities. This category includes workers who worked purely on commission basis and who may not have regular working hours. xvioe eee, irae 2.9 2.40 244 2.42 Employers. These are persons who employ one or more paid employees in the operation of their businesses or trades. Thus, domestic helpers, family drivers and other household helpers who assist in the family- operated business, regardless of time spent in this activity, are not hired employees in the enterprise/business. A farm or business proprietor who is assisted purely by such domestic help is not also considered an employer. Worked with pay on own family-operated farm or business. These are members of the family who receives cash or fixed share of the produce as payment for his services in a farm or business operated by another member living in the same household. Worked without pay on own family-operated farm or business, These are members of the family who assist another member in the operation of the family farm or business enterprise and who do not receive any wage or salary for their work. The room and board and any cash allowance given as incentives are not counted as compensation for these family workers. Number of Hours Worked Number of hours worked refers to the total number of hours a person actually worked in all the jobs/businesses that he held. It includes the duration or the period the person was occupied in his work, including overtime, but excluding hours paid but not worked. The normal working hours per day is the usual or prescribed working hours of a person in his primary job/ousiness which is considered a full day's work, Averages The averages shown in this report are arithmetic means. Rounding of Estimates Individual figures are independently rounded to the nearest thousands, hence, group totals may not always be equal to the sum of the individual figures Comparability with Related Data The information presented herein are obtained from sample households. Differences observed among corresponding figures obtained from a complete count or another independent survey using the same schedules and instructions are due to sampling variations and other biases not attributable to sampling. Due to the difference in primary xvii34 3.44 3.4.2 sampling units, the employment data obtained from household surveys may differ from employment data based on reports from establishment surveys, SURVEY DESIGN Sampling Design The sampling design of the Labor Force Survey uses the new master sample design starting July 1996. The multi-stage sampling design of the master sample consists of 3,416 PSUs in the expanded sample for provincial level estimates with a sub-sample of 2.247 PSUs designated as the core master sample for regional level estimates. The October 2000 Labor Force Survey was based on the expanded sample. Domains The domain for the new master sample is similar to that of the previous ISH design with an addition of 23 newly created domains. The urban and rural areas of cities and municipalities with a population of 160,000 or more are considered as separate domains. The other urban and rural areas in each of the 77 provinces are likewise treated as separate domains. In view of the creation of ARMM and the separation of Marawi City and Cotabato City from Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao, respectively, the urban and rural areas of the two cities also form separate domains Sampling Frame The frame for the first and second stages of sample selection were based mainly on the results of the 1995 POPCEN. The 1995 POPCEN list of barangays with the household and population counts is used in the first stage of sample selection. The stratification of barangays included in the frame, however, are based on the 1990 CPH and other administrative reports from the field offices of NSO. The enumeration areas which constitute the secondary stage sampling units are those that were formed during the 1995 POPCEN. Isolated barangays and/or barangays that are difficult and expensive to reach are excluded from the sampling frame. However, critical areas or barangays with peace and order problem which is generally temporary in nature are included in the frame. The frame for the third stage of sample selection is the list of households from the 1995 POPCEN xvi3.4.3 3.4.4 3.1.5 3.4.6 Stratification Scheme Barangays in each domain were explicitly stratified by urbanity Within the urban/rural barangay stratum in each of the provincial domains, the barangays were implicitly stratified by municipal district, serpentine ordering of the municipalities, and grouping of the barangay, based on accessibility. The implicit stratification ensured geographic coverage Sample Selection The multi-stage sampling design of the master sample involves the selection of the sample barangays for the first stage, selection of sample enumeration areas or EAs for the second stage, and the selection of sample households for the third stage in each stratum for every domain The sample barangays were selected systematically with probability proportional to size from the list of barangays that were implicitly stratified. The preliminary count of households based on the results of the 1995 POPCEN was used. The selection of sample EAs for the second stage was also done systematically with probability proportional to size. The EAs are those that were formed during the 1995 POPCEN. An EA is a physical delineated portion of the barangay. For barangays that were not divided into EAs, the barangay was treated as an EA The selection of sample households for the third stage was done systematically from the 1995 POPCEN List of Households. Sample Size The new master sample consists of an expanded sample of 3.416 sample barangays/EAs (2,045 urban and 1,37t rural) to improve the precision of provincial-level estimates from the household surveys. The October 2000 LFS used the expanded sample which has a national sample of about 41,000 sample households Estimation Procedure Calculation of Final Weights The basic weight for the sample households in the October 2000 LFS can be expressed as an inverse of the probability of selection, as follows: xixNy Way = —— x —— ba Ny Nay Pay Dy x Pry Now N, where: by Ny Nyy Now Pn = number of sample barangay/EAs selected in stratum h (domain other urban or rural, within province) for the expanded master sample total number of households from the 1995 POPCEN frame (cumulated measure size) from stratum h number of households from the 1995 POPCEN frame in the i-th sample barangay in stratum h = number of households from the 1995 POPCEN frame for the j-th sample EA in the i-th sample barangay in stratum h = number of sample households selected in the j-th sample EA in the i-th sample barangay in stratum h for the October 2000 LFS (fixed at 12) Since the sample households for the October 2000 LFS were selected directly from the 1995 POPCEN frame, the basic weight is the same for all households within the stratum (that is, the sample is self- weighting within stratum). However, after the basic weight is adjusted for non-response, the weights may vary slightly by sample EA within stratum The basic weights were adjusted to take into account the sample EAs which were not enumerated, as well as the household non-interviews, followed by an adjustment based on the population projections for the domain. The weight adjustment was carried out in three stages for the LFS data (1) Weight Adjustment Factor for Sample EAs Which Were Not Enumerated The first stage weight adjustment was carried out at the stratum level (domain city, other urban or rural, within province). This adjustment factor (A,,) was based on the number of sample EAs xselected in the stratum (b,’) divided by the number of sample EAs actually enumerated: Am by Using this adjustment factor is equivalent to substituting 6, with by in the formula for the weight specified earlier, as if b,’ sample EAS had been selected in stratum h instead of b,, (2) Weight Adjustment Factor for Noninterview Households The second stage weight adjustment factor for non-interview households was carried out at the level of the sample EA. This adjustment factor can be defined as follows Poy Ani Dy Nyy = number of sample households selected in the j-th sample EA in the i-th sample barangay in stratum h for the October 2000 LFS (fixed at 12) n'y, = fumber of households with completed survey interviews in the j-th sample EA of the i-th sample barangay in stratum h (that is, n'y minus the number of valid non-interview households which were not replaced); for the October 2000 LFS, this would be equal to 12 minus the number of sample households which were not interviewed (3) Weight Adjustment Factor Based on Population Projection In order to adjust the survey estimates of total population for each domain to reflect changes in the population over time, a final weight adjustment factor was applied at the domain level, based on the best population projections for the corresponding reference period For each domain and age group, the last weight adjustment factor was calculated as follows: xxiwhere: Aag = last stage weight adjustment factor for the sample survey records for persons in age group g for geographic domain d X?eq = projected number of persons in age group g for geographic domain d Xeq’ = preliminary weighted estimate of the total number of persons in age group g for geographic domain d, from the LFS data The final weight for the sample households would then be calculated as follows: W aan = Wry X Ain X Aan X Aag 3.4.7 Geographic Area Coverage For most part, statistics have been limited to the socio-economic data at the national level. it is very evident though that there is the need for information at the local level. In this regard, the LFS sample design has been drawn in such a way that accurate lower level classification would be possible The 77 provinces, 30 cities and twenty key municipalities are covered under the following regional groupings National Capital Region Cordittera Administrative Region 1.

Refer to Appendix C for detailed information on the items included Method of Collection Personal interview is deemed most applicable for the LFS owing to the complexity of the questionnaire, the details required, and the level of education of respondent in sample households. NSO Statistical Coordination Officers and Statistical Researchers served as interviewers during the operations. Supervision and monitoring of survey operations were done by the Regional Directors/Provincial Statistics Officers of NSO, most of whom have experience and have undergone training on various types of surveys and censuses. Data Processing Data processing involves two stages: manual processing and machine processing. Manual processing refers to the manual editing and coding of questionnaires. This is done prior to machine processing which entails code validation, consistency checks as well as tabulation Enumeration is a very complex operation and oftentimes it happens that accomplished questionnaires have some omissions and implausible or inconsistent entries. Editing is meant to correct these errors For purposes of operational convenience, field editing is usually done. The interviewers are required to review the entries at the end of each interview. Blank items which are applicable to the respondents are verified and filled out. Before being transmitted to the central office, all questionnaires are edited in the field offices Coding, the transformation of information from the questionnaire to machine readable form, is likewise done in the field offices Machine processing involves all operations that are done with the use of a computer and/or its accessories, that is, from data encoding to tabulation. Coded data are usually in such media as tapes and diskettes. xxvMachine editing is preferred to ensure correctness of encoded information. Except for sample completeness check and verification of geographic identification which are the responsibility of the subject matter division, some imputations and corrections of entries are done mechanically For this round, preliminary and final tabulations are done at the Central Office The extent of non-response is estimated at 2.6 percent for October 2000. 3.5 Publication of Results Published in this report are data on labor force which provide details for analytical use at the regional and national levels.

The said methodology is in compliance with NSCB Resolution No. 13 series of 1999 entitled “Adopting the Methodology Used in Generating City/Municipal Population Projections, 1995-2010". Using the 1995 census-based population projection, estimates were generally lower compared to the 1980 projections, For the population 15 years old and over, the ratio of the 1995 projection over the 1980 projection was computed at 0.96 for the three survey periods of July 1999, October 1999 and July 2000. The statistics generated for the labor force and employment likewise showed lower results using the 1995 projection compared to those using the 1980 projection with the ratio computed at 0.95. The unemployment statistics showed closer results with ratio at 0.98. While the levels were lower using the 1995 projections compared with those based on the 1980 projections, the rates, i.e., employment and unemployment rates showed minimal differences with changes varying from 0.1 to 0.2 percentage point in the three survey periods.
