Timor-Leste Labour Force Survey 2010
This report presents the main results of the Timor‐Leste Labour Force Survey, for which the fieldwork was carried out over a 12‐month period from mid‐2009 to mid‐2010. The survey was conducted by the National Statistics Directorate (DNE) in collaboration with the Labour Market Information Department of the Secretariat of State for Vocational Training and Employment (SEFOPE). Conducting the survey was made possible through the funding support provided by Irish Aid and AusAid and with technical support provided by the International Labour Organization (ILO).
The Survey provides an important set of labour force statistics, including data on employment, unemployment, time-related underemployment, and informal employment, which is essential for the design and evaluation of government policies and programmes.
The survey covered 4665 households spread across 311 enumeration areas throughout Timor‐Leste. Detailed information on each person’s economic activity was collected from more than 17,000 people aged 10 and over in these households.
