Labour Survey To Be Conducted

Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei will conduct a labour force survey in April and June to identify the characteristics of unemployment in the country, as well as collect an up-to-date information on the size and distribution of the labour force to assist in the planning and evaluation of manpower needs.

The Department of Economic Planning and Development at the Prime Minister's Office has divided the survey in two stages, house numbering from April 5-14 and the labour force survey from June 7-16, according to a press release issued by the department yesterday.

Coverage of the labour force survey would be determined though sampling, where various areas in each district will be selected and all houses will be listed in the numbering stage.

Only randomly selected households will be participating in the survey.

During the house numbering stage, survey officers will visit every house in the selected areas to collect data on the names of household heads; number of household members and entrepreneurial household activities, among others.

The survey is carried out under the Statistics Act, where all information will be treated as strictly confidential. -- Courtesy of The Brunei Times
