The LFS is aimed to generate official labor statistics required for implementation of economic and social planning and monitoring and LFS can represent the national, capital city and province levels. The LFS is the main source to determine the size and structure of the labor market and its changes in short-term. Generating a comprehensive dataset is significant for analysis, such as characteristics of the labour force, employment, decent work, informal employment, and labour underutilization. In addition, at the international level, LFS serve as the primary source for monitoring global commitments on the world of work, including under Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and Goal 5 (Gender Equality) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
