Description:
The primary purpose of the Labour Force Survey (LFS) is "providing good quality point in time and change estimates for various labour market outputs and related topics” (National Statistics Quality Review (NSQR) of Labour Force Survey 2014). The labour market covers all aspects of people's work, including the education and training needed to equip them for work, the jobs themselves, job-search for those out of work and income from work and benefits.
Output from the LFS is quarterly since 1992. Each quarter’s sample is made up of 5 waves. The sample is made up of approximately 40,000 responding UK households and 100,000 individuals per quarter. Respondents are interviewed for 5 successive waves at 3-monthly intervals and 20% of the sample is replaced every quarter. The LFS is intended to be representative of the entire population of the UK. This dataset is the longitudinal LFS data.
