    Labor Force Survey [hh/lfs]
    Series Information

    The provision of labor force data is the responsibility of the Sub Directorate of Manpower Statistics, BPS - Statistics Indonesia. It is carried out through The National Labor Force Survey (NLFS) in all provinces of Indonesia. The other sources of labor force data are from among others National Socio-Economic Survey, Population Census, and Intercensal Population Survey. The concepts and definitions used for the labor force data are similar for all surveys and censuses since 1976, except for the unemployment rate and employment status, which have been extended since 2001.
    Abstract

    The National Labor Force Survey aims to obtain characteristics of employment, unemployment, underemployment, and of working age population not in the labor force who are in schools, doing housekeeping, others, excludes personal activity. This survey covered all provinces in Indonesia (33 provinces). The total number of household samples were around 200 000 households that consist of 50 000 households of quarterly samples and 150 000 household of additional samples, with a 96.30 percent of response rate.

    It is important to note the industrial classification applied in the survey is the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (KBLI) 2009 (aligned with ISIC Rev 4). The occupation classification is based on the Indonesian Classification of Occupation (KBJI) 2002, which refers to ISCO 88, which presents occupation classification in much more detail.

    Sakernas is a survey which is specifically designed for labor data collection. Sakernas is relatively different compared with SP (Population Census) and Supas (Intercencal Population Cencus) which are more focused on demographic characteristics of the population. Other labor force data source is Susenas (National Social and Economic Survey) which collects data on many aspects of social and economic characteristics, such as: consumption, labor, health and household variables. The differences in the characteristics coverage of surveys/census mentioned above are contributed to the labor data quality, in which the Sakernas results are regarded better.
