10.5255/UKDA-SN-7285-17285 http://doi.org/10.5255/UKDA-SN-7285-1 Quarterly Labour Force Survey Eurostat Dataset, Quarter Four, 2010 Office for National Statistics, Social Survey DivisionNorthern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, Central Survey Unit <P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P>The <i>Quarterly Labour Force Survey Eurostat Datasets</i> form the UK component of the <i>European Union Labour Force Survey</i> (EU LFS), and consist of a subset of core variables from the UK Quarterly Labour Force Survey (held at the UK Data Archive under GN 33246), alongside primary and secondary derived variables computed by Eurostat from the core variables supplied. The data comprise seasonal or calendar quarters, depending on the date, and are not directly comparable with the UK QLFS quarters. Annual EU LFS datasets from 1999 onwards are also available (see under GN 33399) and 'ad hoc' modules (run each year to supplement the information from the core EU LFS questionnaire) are available from 2002 onwards (see under GN 33400). <br> <br> Users should note that the LFS Eurostat datasets available from the UK Data Archive comprise UK data only, and no data from other EU countries are included here. Further information about the EU LFS can be found on the Eurostat <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/EU_labour_force_survey" title="EU Labour Force Survey">EU Labour Force Survey</a> webpage.<br> <br> The UK Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a unique source of articulated information using international definitions of employment and unemployment and economic inactivity, together with a wide range of related topics such as occupation, training, hours of work and personal characteristics of household members aged 16 years and over. The first LFS was conducted in 1973 and continues to be one of the reasons for carrying out the survey. Eurostat co-ordinates information from labour force surveys in the European Union (EU) member states in order to assist the EU in such matters as the allocation of the Social Fund. Between 1984 and 1991 the survey was carried out annually, and moved to a quarterly cycle (the QLFS) from May 1992. Further information may be found in the main LFS documentation (see link below).<br> <br> <b>LFS Documentation (main LFS)</b><br> Besides the EU LFS documentation (see below), documentation is also available to accompany the main UK LFS datasets available from the Archive. This largely consists of the latest version of each document alongside the appropriate questionnaire for the year concerned. However, LFS documentation volumes are updated periodically by ONS, so users are advised to check the ONS <a href="http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/method-quality/specific/labour-market/labour-market-statistics/index.html" title="LFS User Guidance">LFS User Guidance</a> pages before commencing analysis.<br> <br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>Topics covered include household and demographic characteristics, country and region of work, employment and self-employment, employment history, working time, occupations and occupational status, job hunting, job changing, education and training, unemployment and economic activity.<br> APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENTEDUCATIONAL LEVELSEDUCATIONAL BACKGROUNDURBANIZATIONJOB CHANGINGUNEMPLOYMENTTRAINING COURSESLABOUR FORCEEMPLOYMENTEUROPEAN UNIONHOUSEHOLDSGENDERNATIONALITYPLACE OF BIRTHECONOMIC ACTIVITYSELF-EMPLOYEDEMPLOYEESOCCUPATIONSWORKPLACELOCATION OF INDUSTRYEMPLOYMENT HISTORYFULL-TIME EMPLOYMENTPART-TIME EMPLOYMENTHOURS OF WORKJOB HUNTINGOCCUPATIONAL STATUSEMPLOYMENT SERVICESTRAININGAGESUBSIDIARY EMPLOYMENTPOPULATION DENSITYINSTITUTIONSUNEMPLOYEDTEMPORARY EMPLOYMENTLABOUR AND EMPLOYMENTLONGTERM UNEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESAPPRENTICESOVERTIMELAY-OFFSSTUDENTS en 2013-06-19T10:58:48Z Dataset <a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/re-using-public-sector-information/uk-government-licensing-framework/crown-copyright/" target="_blank">© Crown copyright</a>.
