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

A two stage stratified sample by regions (marzes) has been designed to conduct the survey. The method of systematic probability sampling was used to frame the sample. Yerevan and all marzes with rural and urban settlements were covered by sample population with proportion of all HH available in these strata.

Based on the administrative and territorial division of RA at the first stage of sampling, the preliminary sampling units, i.e. enumeration areas were selected. 2001 Armenian Population Census results were used to calculate the mentioned proportions for 2014 LFS and 2011 Census results for 2015 LFS.

At the second stage of sampling the primary sampling units, that are HHs to be surveyed, were randomly selected. As a result, during the 2014 year have been surveyed 7680 HHs, of which 5 160 urban and 2520 rural areas. During the 2015 have been surveyed 7788 HHs, of which 4 752 urban and 3 036 rural areas.

At the same time a reserve sample was selected by the same steps, because it was anticipated that in most cases the questionnaire may not be completed due to household's refusal to participate in the survey, absence from the republic or other reasons. As a result, the HHs not participated in the survey were replaced from the reserve sample. The selection of households (HH) has been done monthly by the rotation principle.

抽样程序
---------------------------
为进行调查，已设计了一种按地区（marzes）进行的两阶段分层抽样。采用了系统概率抽样方法来编制样本。样本人口涵盖了包括埃里温在内的所有具有农村和城市定居点的marzes，其中这些层级中的所有家庭的比例相等。根据RA的行政和领土划分，在抽样第一阶段，初步抽样单元，即统计区域，被选中。2001年亚美尼亚人口普查结果被用来计算2014年LFS和2011年人口普查结果用于2015年LFS中所述的比例。
在抽样的第二阶段，选择了初级抽样单元，即需要调查的家庭。因此，在2014年，调查了7680户家庭，其中5160户为城市地区，2520户为农村地区。在2015年，调查了7788户家庭，其中4752户为城市地区，3036户为农村地区。
同时，通过相同的步骤选择了一个储备样本，因为预计在大多数情况下，由于家庭拒绝参与调查、离开共和国或其他原因，问卷可能无法完成。结果，未参与调查的家庭由储备样本替换。家庭的选取是通过每月的轮换原则进行的。

研究工具

问卷的设计、使用概念、指标集合和计算方法，以及抽样方法基本上符合国际劳工组织（ILO）和欧洲统计局（Eurostat）推荐的定义和概念，同时考虑到在亚美尼亚应用这些定义和概念的独特性，在尽可能的范围内提供与国际类似指标的可比性。
