| Content | In order to obtain a more complete picture of the labour supply and demand situation, the economic activity status of the population over a long reference period of 12 months based on the usually active population measurement concept recommended by the ILO was also adopted in the survey. Where agriculture, animal husbandry and informal sectors are large and where there is seasonality of employment the measurement of the activity status over a long reference period is particularly necessary to make an accurate assessment of the employment situation. According to the concept of usually active population used in conjunction with the reference period of the last 12 months, persons who had worked (employed) and or are available or are seeking work (unemployed) when taken together are more than 6 months then they are reckoned as economically active and if it is less than 6 months then the persons are treated as economically inactive. Usually active persons who had been employed for a longer period than the duration for which the person was unemployed in the last 12 months is accepted as employed, and if the person had worked less than the number of months he was unemployed is reckoned as unemployed.
|
| Definition | There are certain distinguishing characteristics of usually economically active status. The measurements based on the usual status concept are for all practical purposes not affected by seasonality since it takes the entire one full year as the reference period. Whereas in the case of the current activity concept the employment and unemployment measures are affected by seasonality due to changes in the volume of economic activity in the different seasons. Another major difference arises due to the fact that some of the unemployed under the usually active concept include persons who had been unemployed for a longer duration though they may have worked and been employed sometime during the year. In the case of unemployed under the currently active concept, unemployed are persons who had not worked at all during the brief reference period used in the measurement. There is an important difference in the classification into economically active and economically inactive under the two concepts. Under the usually active concept first a decision is made as to whether the respondent was usually active or usually inactive considering the persons activities over the one year reference period.
|
| Notes | Only after the classification of the person as usually active or inactive, the person's status as employed or unemployed is decided upon taking the longer of the two durations of employment and unemployment status over the whole one year reference period as the activity status
