CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, October 18 (PIA) -- The National Statistics Office (NSO) is currently conducting nationwide the October 2011 round of the Labor Force Survey (LFS) with the 2011 Survey on Overseas Filipinos (SOF) and the Survey on Children (SOC). | |||
According to Efren C. Armonia, provincial statistics officer of NSO-Oriental Mindoro, the three surveys started last October 8 and enumeration will be until the end of this month. | |||
“The LFS is conducted quarterly and aims to provide statistics on levels and trends of employment, unemployment and underemployment in the country, as a whole, and in each of the administrative regions,” Armonia said. | |||
The LFS also provides a quantitative framework for the preparation of plans and formulation of policies affecting the labor market. | |||
The SOF, on the other hand, aims to provide data on overseas Filipinos, particularly the Overseas Contract Workers (OCWs) and their contribution to the economy. It aims to obtain estimates on the number of overseas Filipinos, their socio-economic characteristics and the amount and mode of remittances to their families. | |||
Meanwhile, the SOC is designed to collect demographic and socio-economic characteristics of working children 5 to 17 years old. Its objectives include estimation of the proportion of children in employment to the total children 5 to 17 years old, indicators of child labor and hazardous child labor. | |||
‘Like all other surveys, the data that will be provided shall be confidential and shall only be used for statistical purposes and will be published in summary forms. The data will not, in any way, be used for investigation and law enforcement purposes,” Armonia said. | |||
In this undertaking, NSO would like to request for the full cooperation and support of the pubic so that accurate and relevant data will be obtained. (NSO-ECA/Louie T. Cueto) | |||
