Labor Force Survey [hh/lfs]
This Labour Force Survey was conducted by the General Statistics Office of Viet Nam in 2014. The main objectives of the surveys are to collect basic information on Viet Nam's labour market in 2014 in accordance with previous LFS studies and international standards. The data was collected using two-stage stratified sampling; the sampling frame is the sample 15% enumeration areas of the 2009 Population and Housing Census.The sample size of the survey is 50,640 households per quarter, equivalent to 16,880 households per month. Data covers the whole country, urban/rural areas; 6 socio-economic regions, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city for quarterly and all 63 centrally governed provinces for yearly.
The target universe includes population ages 15 and over. Sampling units are households; all eligible individuals in sampled households comprise the sample for the survey.
This is an in-depth survey with complicated contents. For each month, 12 to 22 enumeration areas per province are selected, 15-20 households are enumerated at each of the enumeration areas (for Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, there are 80 and 63 enumeration areas, respectively).

Sampling
The sample size of the survey is 50,640 households per quarter, equivalent to 16,880 households per month. Sample size was designed to ensure the statistical significance of data for region by quarter and for province by year. Households were randomly selected from the 15% sample enumeration areas of the Population and Housing Census 2009 following a two-stage procedure:
- Selecting enumeration areas
- Selecting households. All residents ages 15 and above were interviewed and enumerated.
Sample Frame: The sample of the 2014 Labour force survey is the two-stage stratified sample, presented for the whole country, urban/rural areas; 6 socio-economic regions, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City for quarterly and all centrally governed cities/provinces for yearly. Each centrally governed province, city constitutes a main stratum with two sub-stratums of urban areas and rural areas. The sample frame is the 15% sample enumeration areas of the 2009 Population and Housing Census.
Sample design: The survey followed a two-stage stratified sampling procedure designed as follows:
- Stage 1 (selecting enumeration areas): Each centrally governed city/province constitutes a main stratum, after that, each main stratum was divided into 2 sub-stratums within each representing "urban" and "rural" areas. Then, the list of enumeration areas of cities/provinces (the master sampling frame was taken from the sampling frame 15% of the Population and Housing Census 2009) was divided into 2 independent samples (urban and rural) and enumeration areas were chosen by the Kish method.
- Stage 2 (selecting households): for each enumeration area defined in stage 1, 15 enumeration households (55 provinces) or 20 enumeration households (8 provinces: Cao Bang, Bac Kan, Lao Cai, Lai Chau, Kon Tum, Gia Lai, ?ak Nong v? Binh D??ng) were systematically chosen.
Because the sample was selected independently for each stratum according to the systematic random sampling method, the basic sample weights for the household data were computed as the inverse of the probability of selection of the household.
