Labour Force Survey, April 1980 [Canada]

<p>Note: Because missing values are removed from this dataset, any form of non-response (e.g. valid skip, not stated) or don't know/refusal cannot be coded as a missing. The "Sysmiss" label in the Statistics section indicates the number of non-responding records for each variable, and the "Valid" values in the Statistics section indicate the number of responding records for each variable. The total number of records for each variable is comprised of both the sysmiss and valid values. </p> <p>The Labour Force Survey provides estimates of employment and unemployment which are among the most timely and important measures of performance of the Canadian economy. With the release of the survey results only 13 days after the completion of data collection, the LFS estimates are the first of the major monthly economic data series to be released.</p> <p>The Canadian Labour Force Survey was developed following the Second World War to satisfy a need for reliable and timely data on the labour market. Information was urgently required on the massive labour market changes involved in the transition from a war to a peace-time economy. The main objective of the LFS is to divide the working-age population into three mutually exclusive classifications - employed, unemployed, and not in the labour force - and to provide descriptive and explanatory data on each of these.</p> <p>LFS data are used to produce the well-known unemployment rate as well as other standard labour market indicators such as the employment rate and the participation rate. The LFS also provides employment estimates by industry, occupation, public and private sector, hours worked and much more, all cross-classifiable by a variety of demographic characteristics. Estimates are produced for Canada, the provinces, the territories and a large number of sub-provincial regions. For employees, wage rates, union status, job permanency and workplace size are also produced.</p> <p>These data are used by different levels of government for evaluation and planning of employment programs in Canada. Regional unemployment rates are used by Human Resources Development Canada to determine eligibility, level and duration of insurance benefits for persons living within a particular employment insurance region. The data are also used by labour market analysts, economists, consultants, planners, forecasters and academics in both the private and public sector.</p>

<p>注意：由于本数据集已移除缺失值，任何形式的无响应（如有效跳过、未声明）或“不知道/拒绝回答”均不得编码为缺失值。统计部分中的“Sysmiss”标签表示各变量的无响应记录数，而统计部分中的“Valid”值表示各变量的有效响应记录数。每个变量的总记录数由Sysmiss值与Valid值共同构成。</p><p>劳动力调查（Labour Force Survey，LFS）提供就业与失业估计数据，这些数据是衡量加拿大经济表现最及时、最重要的指标之一。由于调查结果在数据收集完成后仅13天即可发布，LFS估计数据是首批发布的主要月度经济数据系列之一。</p><p>加拿大劳动力调查（Canadian Labour Force Survey）于二战后开发，旨在满足对劳动力市场可靠且及时数据的需求。当时迫切需要关于从战时经济向和平时期经济转型过程中劳动力市场大规模变化的信息。LFS的主要目标是将劳动年龄人口划分为三个互斥类别——就业、失业和非劳动力——并提供每个类别的描述性与解释性数据。</p><p>LFS数据用于生成广为人知的失业率，以及其他标准劳动力市场指标（如就业率和参与率）。LFS还按行业、职业、公共与私营部门、工作时长等维度提供就业估计数据，所有数据均可按多种人口统计特征进行交叉分类。估计数据覆盖加拿大全国、各省、各地区及大量省级以下区域。对于雇员群体，还提供工资水平、工会成员身份、工作稳定性及工作场所规模等数据。</p><p>这些数据被加拿大各级政府用于就业项目的评估与规划。加拿大人力资源开发部（Human Resources Development Canada）利用区域失业率来确定特定就业保险区域内居民的保险福利资格、水平及期限。数据还被私营与公共部门的劳动力市场分析师、经济学家、顾问、规划师、预测师及学者所采用。</p>
