Microcensus 2002, 1. quarter: Labour Force Survey (SUF edition)

Full edition for scientific use. Since 1983 labour force surveys (LFS) are conducted annually in all European Union (EU) member states. The LFS serve as a basis for internationally compatible (in terms of definition and survey method) data on employment and unemployment for the European Commission. In Austria the LFS is conducted in full annually. The chosen month therefore is March because in this month the Microcensus-quarterly-survey which is most suitable in terms of scheduling for the LFS is performed. Central questions for the assessment of the number of employed and unemployed persons (and as a result for the calculation of the unemployment rate according to international standards) are in addition (since 1994) asked quarterly in the Microcensus standard survey. The survey conducted in March always relates to the week before the interview and includes the whole population, which means everybody who has their main residence in Austria. Data for persons not found have to be added via a substitution method so that results for the whole population can be provided. In Austria (as well as in several other states) the LFS is only conducted among the population in private households; people who live in institutions (retirement homes, boarding homes, etc) are not included in the survey. These are topics of the LFS: -> immigrants with and without the Austrian citizenship (4 questions) -> features of the first job (21 questions) -> statements on part-time jobs (6 questions) -> previous employments of unemployed persons (7 questions) -> job-seeking (13 questions) -> situation of unemployed persons (3 questions) -> school and professional education (9 questions) -> situation one year previous to the survey (7 questions). Furthermore, there are questions on the demographic background. The questions have remained more or less the same over the years. The only questions that have been changed slightly were those on education. Missing information is substituted with information from persons with similar socio-demographic variables (imputation), so that there are no unknown cases.

本数据集为科研专用完整版。自1983年起，欧盟（European Union，EU）所有成员国每年均开展劳动力调查（Labour Force Survey，LFS），该调查旨在为欧盟委员会提供定义与调查方法均符合国际兼容标准的就业与失业统计数据。在奥地利，劳动力调查全年全面开展，故选定3月作为调查月份——因适配劳动力调查调度安排的微观普查季度调查（Microcensus-quarterly-survey）恰于该月实施。自1994年起，微观普查标准调查额外增设核心问题，用于评估就业与失业人数，进而依据国际标准计算失业率。3月开展的本次调查均指向访谈前一周的情况，调查覆盖全体常住人口，即主要居住地位于奥地利的所有人群。对于未成功访到的受访者，需通过替代法补充数据，以确保可提供覆盖全人口的统计结果。与欧盟多数国家一致，奥地利的劳动力调查仅针对私人家庭住户人群，居住在养老机构、寄宿机构等公共机构的人员未被纳入调查范围。本调查涵盖以下主题：
-> 拥有与不拥有奥地利国籍的移民（共4个问题）
-> 首份工作相关特征（共21个问题）
-> 兼职工作相关情况说明（共6个问题）
-> 失业人员既往就业经历（共7个问题）
-> 求职情况（共13个问题）
-> 失业人员现状（共3个问题）
-> 学校教育与职业培训（共9个问题）
-> 调查前一年的生活境况（共7个问题）
此外，调查还包含人口统计学背景相关问题。多年来，除教育相关问题曾小幅调整外，其余调查问题大体保持不变。缺失信息将通过匹配社会人口学特征相似的受访者数据进行插补（imputation），以消除未知缺失案例。
