  1. The views expressed here are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the policies of Statistics Netherlands From Labour Force Survey to Labour Market Statistics j.vanderValk@cbs.nl

  2. Digital revolution is going on

  3. ‘Big’ Data 1 Exabyte= 1018 B= (GB)2

  4. Big Data for (labour market) statistics

  5. Future of surveys (Mick Couper, ESRA 2013) • Reduce survey length or burden • Use data from other sources • Ask less detail • Use matrix sampling (= wave approach for LFS) • Use technology • Better understand non-respondents A survey is a tool, that will remain relevant!

  6. Survey as a tool for making statistics Modern Using new technology Appropriate Fit for purpose

  7. Is (Labour Force) Survey modern?

  8. The survey as a modern tool • Digital • Cost-effective • Flexible • Incorporating new technologies • Connected to other data sets Modular Design

  9. ESSnet on Multi-mode data collection for social surveys: some findings • Web data collection is feasible for LFS • Mode effects not really different from other modes • Can help to cover whole population • Is liked by respondents (better than CATI) • Guidance on questionnaire design is available • How to combine modes is still an open question Finalworkshop: 4-5 September 2014, Wiesbaden

  10. Is (Labour Force) Survey appropriate?

  11. The survey as a lessappropriate tool • Preparation, management and fieldwork is resources consuming • Sample based: not ideal for producing statistics on small groups • Geographical areas • High frequency (monthly or weekly) • Information on transitions and mobility • Not most logical way to collect facts

  12. The survey as a more appropriate tool • Can in principle collect private, sensitive or subjective information • Could be precise: enables harmonisation (of questionnaires) • Could be a flexible instrument (modular design)

  13. Changing role of (LF)Survey Past • LFSurvey: ‘large’ scale data collection to provide data for many labour market statistics • Administrative sources for some employment statistics Future • Administrative/Open/Machine generated/Big Data for many statistics • Surveys: targeted data collection for specific research and quality assessment

  14. Consequences for LFS • The future role of LFS will be less prominent • Stand-alone surveys not appropriate anymore but integrated designs are required • System of surveys must be very flexible and extremely efficient • Includes web-based data collection • Effective (modular) systems for collection and processing of data

  15. From brick to slick! Redesign LFS to make it ready for the future!

  16. Consequences Labour Market Statistics • The challenge is to how combine several data sources to make Labour Market Statistics • This includes new diverse data sets and even ‘big’ data • International collaboration is required to deal with these challenges

  17. Thank you for your attention!
