Sampling procedure
---------------------------

A Stratified two-stage sampling design is used. At the first stage, Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) are selected with probability proportional to size and at the second stage, a fixed number of households is selected from each selected PSU. Prior to 2005, the first stage stratification factors were urban, semi urban and rural geographical locations. The second stage stratification criteria are community, household size and average monthly expenditure of the household. From 1999 to 2003, around 6,500 households were covered each year. In 2004, the sample was increased to 8,640 so that reliable quarterly estimates of labour force, employment and unemployment could be worked out. As from 2005, the sample for the year has been further increased to 11,280. Furthermore, in order to measure quarterly changes, 50% of the households sampled in a quarter are re-interviewed in the following quarter; for example, 50% of the households sampled in the first quarter of 2005 have been re-interviewed in the second quarter of 2005.

The CMPHS questionnaire comprises three modules: a basic module common to all rounds of the survey covering the general characteristics of the population (b) a second module covering labour force with in-depth investigation and a core set of questions which are kept constant at all rounds of the survey and (c) a third module grouping other topics of interest but investigated in less details.

抽样程序
---------------------------
采用分层两阶段抽样设计。在第一阶段，以规模比例随机选取初级抽样单位 (PSU)，在第二阶段，从每个选定的 PSU 中选取固定数量的家庭。2005年之前，第一阶段分层因素包括城市、半城市和乡村地理位置。第二阶段分层标准为社区、家庭规模和家庭平均月支出。1999年至2003年，每年约覆盖6,500户家庭。2004年，样本量增加至8,640户，以便计算出可靠的季度劳动力、就业和失业估计。自2005年起，年度样本量进一步增加至11,280户。此外，为了衡量季度变化，每个季度选取的样本家庭中，有50%将在下一个季度重新接受访谈；例如，2005年第一季度的样本家庭在第二季度的2005年重新接受了访谈。
