RFL - Labour Force Survey
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.
For more information, please refer to the pages of the individual quarterly surveys of 2013:
- Italian Labour Force Survey – January (2013)
- Italian Labour Force Survey – April (2013)
- Italian Labour Force Survey – July (2013)
- Italian Labour Force Survey – October (2013)
In order to optimize the time of use of the dataset (exclusively distributed from ISTAT for not member users), UniData offers a service of convertion from ASCII format to the main statistical software format (SPSS, Stata, R or SAS). For detailed information visit the Services for Istat Data page.
