Labour Force Survey 3rd quarter 1978 - 4th quarter 1979 panel file

SSB has conducted official quarterly labor force surveys (LFS) as of Q1 1972. The purpose is to provide information to labor authorities and others familiar about the occupational structure of the population and development over time. The studies will provide the basis and statistical material for occupational forecasting and labor market research. In the LFS interview one respodent is interviewed for two consecutive quarters, then there's a two quarter pause and then the respondent is interviewed again over two consecutive quarters. Labour Force Survey 1972 is the first complete vintage with LFS. Originally it was intended that such statistics would be a more analytical supplement to the monthly employment statistics were based on the insurance fund membership files. The insurance fund-based statistics, however, fell away when health insurance was included in the National Insurance Scheme from 1 January 1971, the LFS has gradually evolved to become the main source of knowledge about the state and development of the labor market.

Overview of LFS panels with detailed explanation for panel files:
Data collection for the LFS was started somewhat experimental in 1971, but the data are first published from 1972. It may be useful to look at these detailed overview:

Panel files are created by linking four interviews from an ordinary interview round in LFS. In the table above means that one could connect all the pools labeled X. Selection criteria is that the respondent has participated four (4) times.

By Labour Force Survey 1976 also adopted a slightly modified questionnaire and one came back at the original six-block rotation plan. The new questionnaire meant that people in the family group workers and temporarily absent from work were identified in a better way. This resulted in approximately 30-35000 more were counted as employed. Group job seekers without work income was also expanded to include involuntary lay-offs. The issues of under- and over-employment in the original form was deleted.

SSB自1972年第一季度起正式开展官方季度劳动力调查（Labour Force Survey，LFS）。本次调查旨在为劳动主管部门及其他相关方提供有关人口职业结构及其随时间演变的信息，相关研究成果将为职业预测与劳动力市场研究提供基础依据与统计素材。在LFS的访谈设计中，每名受访者需连续接受两季度的访谈，随后暂停两季度，之后再次连续接受两季度的访谈。1972年劳动力调查是首个完整的LFS调查批次。最初，这类统计数据本拟作为基于保险基金会员档案的月度就业统计的分析性补充，但1971年1月起健康保险被纳入国民保险计划后，基于保险基金的统计方式被废止，LFS也逐步演变为了解劳动力市场现状与发展趋势的核心信息来源。

抽样面板数据集文件通过关联LFS常规访谈轮次中的四次访谈记录生成。上表中标记为X的所有抽样组均可进行关联。入选标准为受访者需完成共计四次访谈。

1976年的劳动力调查对问卷进行了小幅修订，并回归至最初的六组轮换方案。新问卷能够更精准地识别家庭用工人员与临时离岗人员，这使得就业统计人数增加约3万至3.5万人。同时，无工作收入的求职者群体统计范围也得到扩充，纳入了非自愿下岗人员。原问卷中关于就业不足与过度就业的问题被移除。

本抽样面板数据集文件包含上表中的第31组数据。
