PRESS STATEMENT ON QUARTERLY LABOUR FORCE SURVEY-HOUSEHOLD LISTING
The Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT) will be conducting the Quarterly Labour-Force Survey (QLFS) Household Listing exercise from 11th to 17th January 2023. The main objective of the listing exercise is to facilitate selection of households that will be covered in the Quarterly Labour-Force Survey.
The Quarterly Labour-Force Survey which is conducted under the Census and Statistics Act [Chapter 10:29] of 2007 provides high-frequency labour market statistics to inform planning, human capital development strategies, compilation of Quarterly Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and decision-making among other key uses.
The survey also provides key labour market indicators which include but are not limited to:
i. employment levels, both formal and informal,
ii. unemployment
iii. labour underutilization, income levels, labour migration and job losses.
The listing exercise will be conducted in all provinces and information collected is strictly confidential and will be used for statistical purposes only.
For ease of identification, our field personnel will be carrying official letters and personal Identity Cards.
