  8. List of ad hoc modules Labour Force Survey ad hoc modules

  9. Results ad hoc modules • Including module in LFS feasible • Valuable results • Rich data set • Basis for set of tables and publication • Used for analyse by Commission and researchers • Used for national publications Labour Force Survey ad hoc modules

  10. LFS ad hoc modulesPractical issue 1: definition of module • Different views in task force • Users vs. NSI’s • Resulting in compromise • Scope sometimes difficult for LFS • Only 11 variables, no in-depth survey • Labour market related • Variables sometimes difficult to implement • Complex concept, involve many questions, subjective • Proxy answering is allowed in LFS Labour Force Survey ad hoc modules

  11. LFS ad hoc modulesPractical issue 2: inclusion in LFS • LFS is continuous survey with sensitive data • Questions may not disturb regular data collection • National modules extra handicap • General practice in a number of MS • Complex variables can cause problems • Unclear questions involve much instruction • Sometime deviation from defined concept Labour Force Survey ad hoc modules

  12. LFS ad hoc modulesPractical issue 3: processing data • Quality checks AHM requires specific expertise • Substantial work • Not easy to organise • Ad hoc production lines • Within NSI • Within Eurostat Labour Force Survey ad hoc modules

  13. LFS ad hoc modulesPractical issue 4: outcomes • Results not always fully comparable • Between countries • In time in case of repetitions Labour Force Survey ad hoc modules

  14. Concluding remarks • LFS works as vehicle • Ad hoc modules gives valuable results But • A lot of work • Results not always satisfactory Room to improve process of definition & implementation ad hoc modules Labour Force Survey ad hoc modules

  15. Concluding remarks Evaluation task force will address: • How to make the process of defining a module more efficient? • How to reduce the work involved with implementing and processing? • How to improve the comparability of the results? Labour Force Survey ad hoc modules
