Abstract

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 the population. This database is the result of the union of the four quarterly datasets for the year 2019. In this way, it is possible to calculate the annual estimations at the national, macro-regional and regional levels. The documentation available on this page refers to the survey conducted in the last quarter. For more information, please refer to the pages of the individual quarterly surveys of 2019: Italian Labour Force Survey – January (2019) Italian Labour Force Survey – April (2019) Italian Labour Force Survey – July (2019) Italian Labour Force Survey – October (2019)
