Labour Force Survey 2015, Year File

LFS is the most important source of information about conditions on the labor market in Norway. After sample surveys in the autumn of 1971, Statistics Norway has from the 1st quarter of 1972 carried out such surveys quarterly according to the sample method.

The purpose of the survey is to provide information on developments in employment and unemployment, and on the connection of different population groups to the labor market. In addition to providing the authorities and other interested parties with information on the state and development of the labor market, the LFS shall serve as a basis for forecasts and studies and provide research with statistical material. A large number of variables are included in the material. In addition to the demographics, mention can be made of education level, profession, industry, agreed and actual working hours, part-time employment and underemployment.

Important users are the ministries, the labor and welfare administration, research and study institutes, international organisations, mass media etc.

The labor force survey 2015, annual file is a collection file of the 4 quarterly files from 2015. The collection file also contains variables that deal with working time arrangements.

The weight "mmk_aarsnetto" must be divided by 4 in the annual files for the Labor Force Survey. This is because the weight was created as a quarterly weight, but is applied to the annual variables.

LFS是挪威劳动力市场状况最重要的信息来源。继1971年秋季的抽样调查后，挪威统计局（Statistics Norway）自1972年第一季度起，按抽样方法每季度开展此类调查。

该调查旨在提供就业与失业的发展动态，以及不同人群与劳动力市场的关联情况。除向当局及其他利益相关方提供劳动力市场现状与发展趋势的信息外，LFS还应作为预测和研究的基础，并为科研提供统计资料。资料中包含大量变量，除人口统计特征外，还涉及教育水平、职业、行业、约定工时与实际工时、兼职就业及就业不足等内容。

主要用户包括各部委、劳动与福利管理部门、科研院所、国际组织、大众媒体等。

2015年劳动力调查年度文件是2015年四个季度文件的汇总文件，该汇总文件还包含涉及工时安排的变量。

在劳动力调查年度文件中，权重“mmk_aarsnetto”必须除以4。这是因为该权重最初为季度权重，但被应用于年度变量。
