Labor Force Survey represents a study survey that most completely considers the labor force status and fluctuations in the labor market. In this survey, we applied the methodological solutions, harmonized with the recommendations and definitions of the International Labor Organization, ILO and the Eurostat requirements and thereby the most important source was obtained for the international comparison of data of the Republic of Serbia and other countries, regarding the field of labor statistics. The frame for the sample selection is based on the 2002 Census of population, households and dwellings.
The survey covered about 8000 households of Central Serbia and Vojvodina. The data were collected relative to the demographic features of the whole population.
