Italian Labour Force Survey - Annual file (2013)

The Italian Labour Force Survey is the main source of statistical information on the Italian labor market. The information gathered from the population constitutes the basis on which official estimations of employment and unemployment are calculated, as well as information on the main job’s issues - occupation, sector of economic activity, hours worked, contracts’ type and duration, training. The survey data are used to analyze a number of individual, family and social factors too, such as the increasing labor mobility, changing professions, the growth in female participation, etc.., which determine the difference in labor participation of population. This database is the result of the union of the four quarterly datasets for the year 2013. In this way it is possible to calculate the annual estimations at the national, macro-regional and regional levels. In the box to the right  we provide the questionnaire for the first quarter survey, also used in subsequent quarters.
