Abstract
The Labour Force Survey of Mongolia (LFS) with the Child Activities Module (CAM) 2002-2003 is the first in a series of proposed employment surveys in Mongolia. The LFS is the first sample survey on employment to be undertaken in the country, utilizing internationally used concepts and methods of measuring the economically active population. Labour force survey (LFS), the nucleus of social statistical information is a first large scale survey that has measured the economic activities and employment of the population by two methods (“current” and “usual status” approaches) in conformity with common concepts and definitions and methodologies recommended by International Labour Organization. Labour force survey is especially important in a sense that it elicits comprehensive data on employment patterns and unemployment and provides new and reliable data sources which are useful in addressing the pressing issues in the lives of a society and citizens. LFS is specific in a way that at its early stage, a child activities module was incorporated to have collected a comprehensive and rich source of data on child economic activities and scope and pattern of child work and child labour.

Coverage
Geographic Coverage
The survey is nationally and regionally (5 regions - West, Central, East, South, Ulaanbaatar) representative and covers the whole of Mongolia.
Universe
The survey was designed to interview a representative national sample of about 12,800 households from Ulaanbaatar and urban and rural areas of 4 regions that was deemed sufficient to collect reliable data on employment and unemployment and child labour. At this level of disaggregation the sample would be sufficient to produce estimates of high levels of precision in respect of selected employment characteristics.
