EEC : Continuous Labour Force Survey - 2018
Data description
The LFS questionnaire is structured around the following themes:
- a description of the household and its members;
- the status of an activity according to the ILO definition;
- a detailed description of the current main job (occupation, working time, kind of contract, income from work, etc.);
- the level of education and participation in training;
- the situation one year before the survey (place of residence, labour market situation, etc.);
- the receipt of benefits, including unemployment benefits and old-age pensions;
- social and geographical origin;
- health status;
- labour market trajectory over the past 12 months.
In 2018, the complementary module focuses on reconciliation between work and family life.

Persons
Statistical population
Persons aged 15 or more, living in: ordinary housing.
Reference area

The ILO status of activity is measured according to a fixed week, named reference week.
Data compilation
For Metropolitan France, a unique calibration is performed both to correct biases induced by non-response and to get consistency with external margins. The margins are individual characteristics (sex, age, NUTS2,...) and dwelling characteristics (number of dwellings, type of housing, income of the households,...).
For DOM, weights are first adjusted by using an estimation of response probabilities, and are next calibrated on external margins (number of dwellings, type of housing, diploma, place of birth...).
Sample size
Each quarter, 92,000 dwellings are surveyed, 73,000 of which are principal residences and are in the target population.
