Foreword
Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) has been conducting Labour Force Survey (LFS) since 1980 at different intervals. The present report is based on Labour Force Survey 2010, which is eleventh in the series. The present labour force survey used usual definition of economically active population according to ILO convention. In LFS 2010 in addition to core labour force module two additional modules on literacy and volunteerism was also used. Two separate reports on volunteerism and literacy have also been published I like to express my sincere appreciation to Mr. Md. Shahjahan Ali Mollah, Director General, BBS and the respected members of the technical committee for Industry and Labour Wing for their hard work. I hope and believe that this publication will be very useful one to the policy makers, planners, development partners and other users who are involved in labour force development and employment generation activities of the country. Any comments or suggestions for further improvement of the report will be highly appreciated. Riti Ibrahim Secretary Statistics Division Ministry of Planning

Preface
Conducting of Labour Force Survey at an interval of 4-5 years is a core activity of the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS). The present report is based on Labour Force Survey 2010 conducted during May 2010. The last Labour Force Survey was conducted in 2005-06. The survey of 2010 recorded labour force participation of all persons aged 15 years and above covering the whole geographic area of the country. The participation in labour force has been classified into four distinct categories namely; employed, unemployed, underemployed and not in the labour force (including students and inactive persons). The survey report presents information on the size and composition of labour force by gender, major occupation by industry, employment status by gender and so on. The report also addressed youth Labour Force separately. The report is prepared by a team led by Md. Shamsul Alam, Director, Industry and Labour Wing and Programme Manager of Labour Force Survey 2010 who was actively assisted by Mr. Kabir Uddin Ahmed, Deputy Director and Ms. Sabila Khatun, Statistical Officer. Thanks to Dr. Rushidan Islam Rahman, Research Director , BIDS for her review of the preliminary draft and valuable suggestions for the improvement of the report It may be mentioned that policy makers, planners and executives of Government and Non-government organizations require updated labour force statistics for monitoring the change in labour force and employment situation of the country. I hope the report will meet some of these requirements. Comments and suggestions for further improvement of the report will be highly appreciated.

Executive Summary
The eleventh round of Labour Force (LFS) was conducted by Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics in April-M ay 2010. This year in addition to traditional labour force module two separate modules; one on volunteerism and another on literacy were added to the labour force survey. These two surveys were conducted in all the households covered under the purview of the Labour Force Survey. M oreover, a separate survey was conducted on the same area to capture the Informal Sector activities. This survey was named as Informal Sector Survey (ISS). Two separate reports on Literacy and Volunteerism have already been published and report on ISS will be published soon. For LFS 2010, a separate sampling frame was developed with the technical support of the Asian Development Bank using the 2011 census enumeration areas as the sampling frame. This sample consists of 1500 Primary Sampling Units (PSU). The PSUs were the enumeration areas of the Population Census 2001. Of the 1500 PSUs 325 were in the urban area and 1175 were in the rural area. As many as 43925 households were covered in the LF S 2010 of which 9325 were in the urban area and 34620 were in the rural area. The estimated population from the LFS 2010 was 148.7 million and the population of working age population (15+) was 95.6 million. Of the total working age population 54.1 million were employed and 2.6 million were looking for job (unemployed). Thus, the total labour force of the country stands at 56.7 million in 2010 which was 49.5 million in 2005-2006. The labour force growth rate during period was estimated at 3.39 percent. The growth rate was 3.10% in the urban area and 3.48% in the rural area. It is observed from the survey that about 1.8 million people are coming to labour market annually. The labour force participation rate was 59.3% in 2010 which was 58.5% in 2005-2006. It is notable that the female labour force participation rate increased from 29.2% in 2005-2006 to 36.0% in 2010. Labour force participation rate were higher in the rural area (60.0%) compared to urban area (57.3%). According to LFS 2010, the unemployed population of the country stands at 2.6 million which was 2.1 million in 2005-2006. The corresponding unemployment rates were 4.5% and 4.3% respectively. It is mentionable that unemployment rate increases if unpaid family helpers working 6
less than 15 hours a week is considered . In that case unemployment rate stands at 14.16% for the total population, 6.63% for male and 31.49% for female. According to Labour Force Survey 2010, the crude activity rate stands at 38.1% for both sex, 52.5% for male and 23.3% for female. Such rates were 36.0%, 53.3% and 18.0% respectively for both sex, male & female in 2005-2006. It is praise worthy that both demographic and economic dependency of the country reduced in 2010 compared to 2005-2006. The demographic and economic dependency ratio stands at 72.5 and 68.7 in 2010 compared to 73.5 and 71.5 in 20052006. The youth labour force of the country increased to 20.9 million in 2010 from 17.8 million in 20052006. Among the youth labour force 13.1 million are male and 7.8 million are female. Such numbers were 13.2 million and 4.6 million in 2005-2006. Among the employed population 47.6% were employed in agriculture sector and the rest were in manufacturing (12.0%), service (35.0%) and other industry (5.3%). As regards occupational distribution of the population it was observed that the highest 47.4% were engaged in agriculture, forestry and fishery occupation followed by production and transport labourer (22.8%) and sales worker (15.0%). As regards growth rate of occupation, the highest growth rate was observed for sales workers (42.57%) followed by administrative and managerial occupation (36.83%). This may be due to expansion of service sector of the country in the recent year. It is notable that 87.5% of the employed population are in the informal sector and the rest 12.5% were in the formal sector. It is observed that the highest 64.0% employed are engaged in sole proprietorship organization followed by households (21.6%) and private enterprise (6.0%). The growth rate of population by industry shows highest growth in real estate, renting and business services (24.47%) mining & quarrying (18.98%) and construction (13.52%). Regarding status of employment of the employed population the highest 22.8% were self employed in agriculture followed by unpaid family helper (21.8%) and regular paid employee (14.6%). In the urban area the highest 30.3% were regular paid employee followed by self employed in non7
agriculture (21.7%) and unpaid family helper (17.1%). On the contrary, in the rural area, the highest 27.7% were self employed in agriculture followed by unpaid family helper (23.2%) and day labour in agriculture (12.8%). The survey findings shows that the average hours of work per week stands at 46 hours for both sexes, 51 hours for male and 35 hours for female. Such hours of work for the urban areas stands at 49 hours for both sexes, 53 hours for males and 38 hours for females. In the rural area, the average hours of work for both sexes is 45 hours, 50 hours for male and 34 hours for females. Average hours of work by occupation show highest average hours of work for sales worker & production and transport labourers (51 hours). Average hours of work by status in employment shows 57 hours for servants followed by employer and irregular paid worker (55 hours) and day labourers in agriculture and non-agriculture (54 hours). Lowest average hours of work per week were observed for the unpaid family workers (24 hours). Regarding weekly income of the agriculture labourers it was found that the average income of the highest 42.8% labourers was between Tk. 501-1000 and in case of non-agricultural labourers the weekly income of the highest 34.4% labourers was Tk. 1001-1500. As regards monthly income of salaried employees the highest 21.0% were in the monthly income group Tk. 10000-12499 followed by income group Tk. 8000-8999 (11.8%) and Tk. 4000-4999 (11.6%).
CHAPTER-I
SURVEY METHODOLOGY
1.1. Introduction :
Labour force in any country play significant role in of development by producing goods and services. The experience of the developing role indicate that the countries which are developing at a higher rate are due to their skilled labour force. The glaring examples are China, Korea, India, Taiwan, Hongkong and Malaysia. Bangladesh is a least developed country with a vast population of around 148 million in a small territory of 1,44,000 square kilometer with a population density of 1028 per square kilometer, the highest in the world except the city states. Bangladesh is also lagging behind in natural resources, therefore the development of the country depends mainly on the skilled labour force. The skilled labour force is the human resources, which can develop the country through their expertise in one hand and can earn a huge foreign exchange on the others. In the recent years, workers remittance is the highest source of foreign exchange earning of Bangladesh. If more skilled manpower can be deployed in the overseas employment, then they could contribute in the countrys development to a greater extent. Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), the National Statistical Organization of the country, has been conducting Labour Force Survey (LFS) since 1980. The surveys could not be held at uniform t ime intervals due to resource constraint and other reasons. The latest survey, before the current one, was done in 2005-2006. Bangladesh Standard Industrial Classifications (BSIC, Rev-4) which is comparable to International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC, Rev-4) and International Standard Classification of Occupation (ISCO-88) have been used in the Labour Force Survey 2010.
The LFS 2010 was conducted in 1500 Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) of the country. Earlier the LFS was conducted in the Integrated Multipurpose Sample (IMPS) areas. But these areas were too old and outdated. Therefore, a Master Sampling Frame was developed to conduct the LFS 2010. This sample design consists of 1500 Primary Sampling Units (PSUs). The PSUs were the enumeration areas of Population Census 2001. Of the 1500 PSUs 325 were in the urban area and 1175 were in the rural area. From each PSU at least 27 households were selected, in case the number of household in the PSU increased from the Census 2001, the number of households were increased proportionately, thus the survey covered 43945 households of which 34620 were in the rural area and 9325 were in the urban area. (Details of the survey design and selection procedure has been presented in Annexure-A). Data collection in the LFS 2010 were held between May 10 to May 25, 2010. The survey report presents information on the size and composition of labour force major occupation and industry, status in employment, hours worked, earning, unemployment and duration of unemployment etc. It also covers the major occupation and industry of the employed person and the broad sector and place of employment. In order to facilitate comparison of data of labour force survey 2010 with those of the previous year, all tables have been shown covering population aged 15 years and over.
1.2. Survey objectives:

The main objective of the survey is to collect comprehensive data based on current activity status of the population aged 15 years and over. The specific objectives of the survey are as follows: i) ii) To estimate the size of the labour force (economically active population) by age, gender, education and locality; To estimate the number of employed persons by occupation, industry and status of employment;
10
iii) iv) v) vi)
To assess the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of current labour force. To assess the average hours worked, earnings, etc. of employed persons; To assess the extent of unemployment/underemployment; To estimate the number of educated unemployed by age, gender and locality etc.
1.3. House Listing and PSU Maps:

A list of households were made in each selected PSU for the labour force survey. The map of the PSU were collected from the Geographic Section, BBS. The number of households from the PSU were selected by systematic sampling technique. The listing from contained information on name and addresses of the household head, occupation of household head, total household members etc. The household list used for selection of sample households for data collection of the Labour Force Survey. Maps used for identifying the boundary of the sample area and also the location of household within the PSU.
1.4. Preparation of Questionnaire, Form and Training Manual:

A draft questionnaire for the Labour Force Survey 2010 was designed on the basis of the objectives of the survey. An informal pre-testing of the draft questionnaire was carried out by the officers and staffs of the Industry and Labour Wing of BBS. The training manual was modified and finalized on the basis of discussions and suggestions of the survey personnel.
1.5. Training of Survey Personnel:

An intensive training of the master trainers, supervising officers and enumerators
11
was arranged in two stages. At the first stage, divisional coordinators and supervising officers were trained in Dhaka Head Office for two days. Training of the enumerators was conducted by the master trainers three days at the Dhaka Head Offices.
1.6. Data Collection and Supervision of field work:

Data collection was done by the trained officials of BBS fro m headquarter and also from the field offices. The Deputy Directors, Statistical Officers/Regional Statistical Officers/Assistant Statistical Officers were involved in supervision of the field work at different level.
1.7. Data Processing:

Manual editing and coding of data were carried out by the enumerators at the field level following the international Standard Classification of Occupation (ISCO-88) and Bangladesh Standard Industrial Classification (BSIC, Rev-4) at 3 digit and 4 digit level respectively. Other items eg, geo-codes and open ended answers were also coded in accordance with their respective code lists. Data entry were carried out by the Computer Wing of BBS and tabulation plan, data processing were developed by the Industry and Labour Wing of BBS.
1.8. Limitations:
The labour force survey 2010 has the following limitations: Labour force data by occupation at 3 digit level may not be statistically representative because of small sample size. Age-heaping may be observed due to digit preference and data on age recoding given without smoothing.
12
Two separate modules namely - volunteerism and literacy were added to the labour force survey which overburdened the workload of the enumerators and as such the quality of the LFS survey was hampered.
The time allocated for data collection was also inadequate as there was time constraints for the Zonal Operation of Population Census 2011
1.9. Post Design Weights:

Post design weights were developed to make the estimates objective and logical. Weights were derived in the same way as the stratifications were done. In other words, proper weights or raising factors were used for the estimation purpose. Actually weights are the inverse of the sampling fractions obtained from the ratio of observed sample households in the survey to the updated (May 2010) total households. The sampling fractions were variable type and derived at the divisional level so that estimates at sub national level become rational and logical.

CHAPTER-II
HOUSEHOLD AND POPULATION CARACTERISTICS

This Chapter presents the household and population characteristics obtained from the Labour Force Survey 2010. The household and housing characteristics that, have been discussed are household size, ownership of housing, type of housing structure, sources of drinking water, type of fuel used, ownership of selected assets, land ownership, households by activities, households by main source of income, average monthly income of households etc. The population characteristics that, have been included are age-sex distribution, literacy, level of education, marital status, training received by gender etc.
2.1
Age-Sex Distribution of Population

Age-sex distribution of population obtained from the Labour Force Survey 2010 has been
presented in Table-2.1. It is seen from the table that, the high concentration of population exists in lower age groups. The percentage of population in age group 0-14 stands at 35.7% for the nation as a whole. Such percentage for urban and rural areas were found 32.0% and 36.9% respectively. This indicate high fertility in rural area compared to urban area. It is notable that, the highest percentage of population for both sexes in the national level was observed for age group 5-9 (13.1%) followed by age group 0-4 (11.5%) and age group 10-14 (11.1%). The same pattern is observed in both urban and rural area except for rural males where the percentage of 10-14 was higher than 5-9 group. In the urban area, 9.5% population was found in age group 0-4 compared to 12.1% for the rural area for the same age group. The percentage of population in the age group 5-9 in the urban area was 13.7% as against 13.0% in the rural area. The percentage of population in the age group 65 years and over was 3.9% at the national level. The corresponding percentages in the urban and rural areas were 3.2% and 4.2% respectively.

2.3. Population aged 5 Years and Over by Level of Education

Population 5 years and over by level of education has been presented in Table-2.3. It is observed from the table that, of the total population 5 years and over 38.4% have no formal education and the rest 61.6% have some sort of educational attainment. The highest 29.4% have educational level class I-V followed by class VI-VIII (14.0%) and class IX-X (7.5%). Those who passed SSC (Secondary School Certificate) or equivalent examination were 5.0% and those who passed HSC (Higher Secondary Certificate) or equivalent were 3.7%.It is seen from the table that, the percentage of persons drops sharply after Higher Secondary certificate examination where degree or equivalent and masters or equivalent were 0.9% and 0.8% respectively. The percentage of population having engineering or medical degree were only 0.1% and that, for technical or vocational degree were 0.1%. There exist urban-rural and sex variation in respect of level of education, particularly for higher education. In the national level 1.5% males have degree or equivalent education compared to 0.3% female. The percentage of males having master degree were 1.2% compared to less than one half (0.4%) for the females. As regards engineering and medical degree the percentage of male was 0.2% compared to 0.5% for females and for technical and vocational education, the corresponding percentage for males and females were 0.1% and 0.3% respectively. In the urban area, 2.0% population had degree and above educational attainment as against 0.6% for the rural area. The percentage of population having master or equivalent degree were 2.1% in the urban area compared to only 0.4% for the rural area. Those who achieved degree in engineering or medical were 0.4% in the urban area as against only 0.3% in the rural area. The percentage of population having technical or vocational education were 0.1% in the urban area compared to 0.1% in the rural area. There exists also wide sex variation between urban and rural area with respect of educational attainment.

CHAPTER-IV CHARACTERISTICS OF EMPLOYED POPULATION

This chapter discusses about the characteristics of the employed population. The characteristics that have been included are broad sector of employment, employed population by major occupation, level of education, occupation by sector of employment, employment by industry and level of education, status in employment etc. The growth of employment by sector and occupation, hours worked per week, monthly income and wage rate have also been presented in this chapter. It may be mentioned, in 2010 LFS there was a provision for including more than one occupation. Therefore, the occupational distribution, sector of employment and status in employment would be higher than employed persons.

Among the males the highest 39.5% had income between Tk. 501-1000 whereas among females the highest 32.9% had income between Tk. 15012000. In the rural area, the highest 40.1% had income between Tk. 501-1000 and in the urban area the highest 32.5% had income in the same range. In the rural area, only 31% had income Tk. 2001 as against 6.3% in the urban area. Among the agricultural labourers the highest 42.8% had income between Tk. 501-1000 whereas, among non-agricultural labourers the highest 34.4% had income between Tk. 10011500.

CHAPTER-V UNEMPLOYMENT AND UNDEREMPLOYMENT

There exists some misconception about unemployment and underemployment in the context of Bangladesh. Those who are termed as unemployed generally do some works in family enterprise or other places, therefore they are not actually unemployed. It may be mentioned that, BBS always adopt concepts and definitions recommended by the International Labour Office (ILO) regarding unemployment and underemployment and this is also followed in Labour Force Survey 2010. Accordingly, a person aged 15 years and over considered as unemployed if he/she did not work at all during the preceding week of the survey (even an hour in the reference week) and was actively looking for work or was available for work but did not work due to temporary illness or because there was no work available. In the context of Bangladesh, the concept of unemployment based on this definition need to be supplemented by the concepts of visible and invisible underemployment. These terms are defined by ILO as follows: Underemployment exists when a persons employment is inadequate in relation to specified norms or alternative employment, accounts being taken of his occupational skill (training and work experience). Two principal forms of underemployment may be distinguished : i) Visible underemployment is primarily a statistical concept measured by labour force and other service, reflecting an insufficiency in the volume of employment. It occurs when a person is in an employment less than normal duration and is seeking, or would accept additional work. ii) Invisible underemployment is primarily and analytical concept reflecting a misallocation of labour resources or a fundamental imbalance as between labour and other factors of production. Characteristic symptoms might be low income, underutilization of skill and/or low productivity measure (potential underemployment). ILO also points out that the countries that have attempted to measure underemployment have faced a number of difficulties. Embedded in the definitions of underemployment are normative concepts such as normal duration of work, standard level of income skill utilization and 72
productivity which are difficult to operationalize and subjective such as whether the person accept additional work which elucidate intensions not actual behavior. M oreover, the measurement of invisible underemployment have generally been focused to be impracticable and imprecise, especially in the traditional or informal sector in the economy. Since informal sector predominate in Bangladesh economy, the measurement of underemployment in the above situation is difficult. In 2010 survey an attempt has been made only estimate underemployment in terms of hours worked. No attempt has been made to determine invisible underemployment which is difficult to operationalize.
5.1. Unemployment Rate

Following the ILO definition, the unemployment rate for 2010 has been estimated and presented in Table5.1. It may be mentioned that, according to this definition unemployment rate is not very high in Bangladesh. According to labour force survey 2010, the rate of unemployment stands at 4.5% which was 4.3% in 2005-2006. In the urban area, the unemployment rate was 6.5% in 2010, whereas, it was 4.3% in 2005-2006. On the other hand, the rate of unemployment was 4.0% in the rural area in 2010 which was 4.2% in 2005-2006. There exists sex differentials in the unemployment rate where the rate of unemployment for male was 4.1% in 2010 and it was 3.4% in 2005-2006. In the urban area, the unemployment rate for male was 5.7% in 2010 which was to 3.6% in 2005-2006. In the rural area, the corresponding unemployment rate was 3.6% in 2010 and 3.3% in 2005-2006 respectively. For the females, the unemployment rate for Bangladesh, urban and rural was 5.7%, 8.3% and 4.9% in 2010 which was 7.0%, 6.7% and 7.2% in 2005-5006.

5.2. Unemployment Rate by Age

Unemployment rate by age, sex and residence has been presented in Table 5.2. It is observed from the table that, at the national level, the highest unemployed rate was found is age group 15-19 (10.6%) followed by age group 20-24 (7.1%) and 25-29 (5.4%). This pattern also follows in case of male & females. In case of female the highest unemployment rate was observed in 15-19 (11.4%) followed by 20-24 (7.7%) and 25-29 (7.3%). It is notable that unemployment rate is lower in all age group in the rural area compared to urban area. The unemployment rate of females in the urban areas were higher in all groups compared to urban area.

5.3. Unemployment Rate by Level of Education

Unemployment rate by level of education has been presented in Table 5.3. It is observed from the table that unemployment rate increases with the increase of educational level up to HSC or equivalent level, then it reduces for degree or equivalent and slightly reduces for masters degree and equivalent levels. The unemployment rate for engineering and medical degree holders and those were higher than degree master degree or equivalent. At the national level, for the total unemployment, the highest unemployment rate was observed for those with educational level engineering or medical (14.27%) followed by HSC or equivalent (13.74%) and SSC/equivalent (7.73%). There exists variation between males and females with respect to unemployment rate by level of education. In case of males, the highest unemployment rate was found in case of person with HSC/equivalent educational level (11.83%) followed by medical/engineering degree holder (10.54%) and those with master degree (8.23%). On the other hand, in case of females, the highest unemployment rate was observed for medical/engineering degree (30.84%) followed by master/equivalent degree (19.87%) and HSC/equivalent (19.52%). There exists urban-rural variation in unemployment rate by level of education. In the urban area, the highest unemployment rate was found in case of those having HSC/equivalent educational 75

family enterprise as unpaid family worker may also be termed as unemployed. The persons who worked less than 35 hours in the reference week may be termed as underemployed. Unemployment population aged 15 years over and unemployment rate (including unpaid family workers worked less than 15 hours) has been presented in Table 5.5. It is observed form the table that though the unemployment rate as per definition of ILO is 4.5%, yet including the unpaid family helper the unemployment rate stands at 14.16%. This rate is 6.63% for male and 31.49% for female. The unemployment rate including the unpaid family helper for urban male and female are 6.89% and 28.41% compared to 6.55% and 32.45% for the rural males and females.

CHAPTER-VI
YOUTH LABOUR FORCE
This chapter deals with youth labour force. It may be mentioned that, youth labour force is defined by labour force aged 15-29 years. The characteristics of the youth labour force that have been discussed in this chapter are labour force by economic category, employed and unemployed labour force, labour force by division, labour force by literacy, level of education, youth labour force by industry, occupation and by employment status.
6.1. Youth Labour Force by Economic Category

Youth labour force by economic category has been presented in Table 6.1. It is observed from the table that, of the total youth population of age 15-29, 53.24% was in the labour force and the rest 46.76% was outside the purview of the labour force. Among the labour force, 92.54% was employed and the rest 7.46% was unemployed. Those who were outside labour force among them 58.25% was engaged in household work, 37.31% was student and 4.44% were others. There exists sex variation in the economic category of youth population where 69.50% male was in the labour force compared to only 38.22% for the females. The differences in economic category by urban-rural areas are also well pronounced where 50.17% in the urban areas was in the labour force against 54.30% in the rural area. The percent of unemployed youth in the urban area was 9.88% compared to 6.68% for the rural area.

Appendix-A Sample Design of Labour Force Survey 2010

1. Introduction
Household surveys of national coverage are the primary data collection tool of BBS. The 2005 LFS and 2005 Household Income and Expenditure Surveys (HIES) of BBS used the Integrated M ulti-Purpose Sampling Design (IM PS). After critical analysis by the experts, large design effects were derived for important characteristics of interest such as unemployment rate in the statistical metropolitan areas (SM A) and for large divisions such as Dhaka, Chittagong and Rajshahi because of ineffective stratification measures. Incorrect survey weights were also used. M oreover, the number of households sampled per primary sampling units (PSU) can still be reduced and the number of PSUs increased to mitigate the very large design effects. Because of the issues cited above and also, those others that were discussed, BBS requested ADB through RETA 6430: M easuring the Informal Sector for technical advice on the development of a new sampling design for the forthcoming LF S 2010, which is also envisioned to provide the sampling frame for the informal sector survey that was conducted under RETA 6430. This section documents the processes that were under taken to develop the master sample design, from the construction of the sampling frame in the next section to the estimation procedure in Section.
2.
Sampling Frame of PSUs
The most appropriate, cost effective and often used design for household surveys of national coverage is multi-stage such that primary sampling units which are actually clusters of households are selected and from which the ultimate sampling units (households or housing dwelling) will be drawn. While stratified simple random sample is perhaps the most efficient among the sampling designs, it is not practical and workable in the case of household surveys because an updated list of all households in a country which makes up the sampling frame is non-existent. A good sampling frame is needed to ensure that each ultimate sampling unit has a chance of being selected and hence, conclusions on the target population can be drawn from the sample. To develop a multi-stage sampling design, the sampling frame of the primary sampling units (PSUs) must first be constructed. It is, therefore, important to decide carefully on what can be designated as the PSU. All PSUs taken as a whole must cover the target population. Each one of them must have clear boundaries which can be easily located in the field and measure of size data that will be used for selecting PSUs must be available for each one of them. PSUs has to be as manageably small as possible but large enough to have adequate number of ultimate sampling units. This is to permit sampling rotations for different surveys which will be implementing the master sample. M oreover, availability of information to be used for stratification and sample allocation should also be among the practical considerations in constructing the PSUs.

3.
Determination of Sample size and Sample Allocation
The total sample size is usually determined at the domain level. Domains are subpopulations for which separate samples are planned, designed and selected (Kish,1987). In the case of IM PS, the survey domain was not clearly specified although the official r4eport on the 2005 LFS has breakdowns by urban/rural levels, by gender, status of workers, occupation and industry (M aligalig and Barcenas,2008). The basis of determining the sample size in IM PS was not also documented. The choice of domains (Kish, 1965; 1987) depends on several factors, namely; reporting requirements, available budget and workload, and sampling design that will be used. Both statistical and practical issues must be considered in designating the domain level. There is now greater demand for statistics at finer disaggregation level and hence, would require increasing the number of domains. However, by increasing the number of domains, the total sample size would also increase and the corresponding budget requirements. If domains will be the 64 zilas (provinces) instead of the six divisions (regions) of Bangladesh, then sample sizes that would have to be determined at the zila level and consequently, the total sample size has to be increased. Because the workable sampling designs would all involve cluster sampling, the expected design effects should also0 be considered and used to determine the final sample size. The overriding concern was the limited budget that the Government provided for LFS. If the recommendation of M aligalig and Barcenas (2008) on the number of households per PSU will be observed, that is 10 households per PSU instead of 40 then the budget allocated for LFS can only cover about 1500 PSUs OR 15,000 households.On the other hand, since survey weights in the 2005 LFS are not correct and stratification measures that were introduced were not effective in controlling the design effects, the resulting estimates from the 2010 LF S using the master sample is being developed can still render acceptable design effects even with only 15,000 households total sample size. This favorable outcome is contingent upon the implementation of a better design for the master sample and the specification of the correct survey weights and better stratification measures to reduce the resulting design effects. Several allocation strategies were examined to allocate the 15,000 sample households across domains , however, Kish Allocation was deemed suitable
Kish Allocation :
Where nd is the sample size in the domain, n is the sample size, D is the number of domains, Nd is the total number of households in domain d, N is the total number of households in Bangladesh, per the 2001 Census of Population. Wd is the proportion of households in domain d, and/is the Kish relative importance assigned to estimates at the national or subgroups allocation index denoting the we ,To illustrate .(ii)he domain levels as compared to those estimates at t (i)that cut across domains to characteristics of interest such as numbers of crop farmers and female unpaid (i)can relate number of persons in the labor force who ,proportions of persons in poverty in Bangladesh ,workers 221
and estimates of the differences between ,ortion of households with electricity prop ,are unemployed .subgroups If the primary interest is to derive estimates for characteristics of interest of type (ii), one of the best approaches in allocating the sample size is to allocate it proportionally with respect to the population size of each domain. However, the ideal approach for type (ii) is to divide the total sample size equally among the domains (Kish, 1987). M oreover, it should be emphasized that these two approaches may yield very different sample allocations particularly when the domains differ in measure of size. Further, it is possible that a particular approach may perform satisfactorily when estimating a certain type of characteristic of interest but not necessarily for the other types. A possible way around this problem is to use Kish allocation which is basically a compromise between equal and proportional allocation. With I=0, it reduces to the equal allocation while it tends to proportional allocation approach with I . Table 1 provides estimates of sample size per domain using different allocation procedures.

Selecting the PS Us The following steps outline the procedure that was implemented to maintain a uniform probability within a domain in the master sample design for Bangladesh. 1. For a domain d, determine the number of P SUs to be sampled , such that is the
where b is the recommended number of households per PSU (in this case, b =10), number of households allocated to domain d (Table 6, last column). 2. Then compute the sampling interval:
,
3.
Sort all the PSUs in domain d by zila, urban/rural classification, by strata (as defined in 222
the previous section) and lastly, by PStrong values. 4. Compute the cumulative value of the measure of size (2201 total number of households), using the sorted list in step (3). 5. Select a random start (RS) by drawing a random number between 0 and 1 and multiplying it by the interval in step 2. The first sampled PSU will be the first PSU with cumulative value of containing the value of the random start (RS). The next sample PSU will be the PSU for which the cumulative value of contains RS+ , the next will be the PSU for which the cumulative value contains RS+ , etc. Table 2 below shows the computations from the procedure that was outlined above.

Selection of Households Since the measure of size that was used for selecting the P SUs is the 2001 Census of Population total households, the current value of this measure will be very different and hence, to maintain the same selection probability, the number of households to be sampled must also be revised. That is, since the households will be selected from the sampled PSU with , if the current value of the measure of size is now household level selection probability means that Type equation here. . And hence, , , maintaining the same

Survey Weights and Estimation
The complex design of the master sample has to be considered in analyzing the 2009 LFS and the Informal Sector Survey and other surveys that will use the master sample in the future. Survey weights must be used to produce estimates of population parameters and design features such as the stratification measures, P SUs and domains must be taken into account in variance estimation and inference. Survey Weights The final survey weights are the product of at at most three successive stages of computations. First, base weights are computed to counteract the unequal selection probabilities in the sample design the base weights are adjusted to balance uneven response rates and if data are available, the non-response adjusted weights are further adjusted to ensure that the weighted sample distributions conform with known distributions from valid sources. The base weight for sampled household is the inverse of its selection probability. In the master sample design the selection probability is uniform within a domain and hence, base weights will be also vary within domains. In general,
Table 3 presents the base weights of sampled households by division. Table 3. Base Weights by Domain.
Division Barisal Chittagong Dhaka Khulna Rajshahi Sylhet Selection Probability fd 0.001104 0.000550 0.000449 0.000673 0.000474 0.001282 Base Weight 905.7971 1818.1820 2227.1710 1485.8840 2109.7050 780.0312
Non-response adjustments will have to be incorporated in the final survey weights if the degree of unit non-response cannot be ignored. Unit non-response occurs when an eligible household fails to participate in the survey. For example, households may refuse to participate or an eligible respondent may be available at the times that the enumerator visits. In general, the nonrespondent adjustment inflates the base weights of similar responding units to compensate for the non-respondents. Weighting adjustment is perhaps the most common approach to compensate for non-response. This method calls for the formation of weighting cells in which adjustment factors are developed such that
224
The most common form of non-response weighting adjustment is a weighting class type. The full sample of respondents and non-respondents is divided into a number of weighting classes or cells and non-response adjustment factors are computed for each cell c (Kalton, 1990) as = Where the denominator of is the sum of the weights of respondents (indexed r) in weighting cell c while the numerator adds together the sum of the weights for respondents and the sum of the weights for eligible non-respondents (indexed m for missing) in cell c which is equal to the sum of the weights for the total eligible sample (indexed s) in cell c . Thus, the non-response weight adjustment is the inverse of the weighted response rate in cell c. Note that the adjustment is applied with eligible units. Ineligible sampled units (e.g., vacant or demolished housing units and units out of scope for a given survey) are excluded. Weighting cells c need not conform with the strata boundaries. They may cut across strata but it is important that the weighting cells will capture similar households. Similarity is viewed here in the perspective of the households propensity to response. In general, the response rates across weighting cells will vary widely. Estimation Assuming that the final survey weight for household i is w, or what can be viewed at the number of population units that the responding household i represent. Then the estimator or a population , where y, is the value of the variable y for total for characteristic of interest Y will be y = household i. The simple estimator y has many applications. For example, it can be applied to estimate the count of population with specific characteristic of interest, such as female-headed households. y, can be set to 1 if household i has the specific characteristic. To estimate the population mean, the following ratio estimator can be used:
With the total of survey weights of all responding households, as an estimator for the total number of households. A more general form of the ratio estimator (Kalton, 1983) would be: R = .
225
Note that with complex sample design such as the master sample, the means (in the form of equation 12 and 13) and proportions are ratio estimators that involve the ratio of two variables and hence, must be carefully considered in the computation of sampling errors.

Actual number of Households covered in LFS,2010
In LFS 2010 a separate module was used to capture the voluntary activities performed by the households. It was supposed that voluntary activities are not very common and as such the number of households were increased to capture the voluntary activities and simultaneously the extended households were also covered for the Labour Force Survey.

Appendix-B Concepts and definitions

This section briefly describes the key definitions and concepts adopted in the Labour Force Survey. All the persons in the surveyed households were classified into three broad activity categories (i) working person (employed) (ii) not working person (seeking and/or available for work) or unemployed and (iii) neither working nor available for work (i.e. not in labour force or inactive). The detailed information such as work status, occupation, industry, hours worked, earnings, sector of work etc. were collected for those categorized as working. The not working/unemployed persons were simply asked about the extent of their unemployment. Activity status: of person 15 years and over as employed, unemployed and outside the labour force (inactive) refers to current activity status in 7 days preceding the survey date. Housing unit/ultimate sampling unit: The ultimate sampling unit for the purpose of this Survey is the housing unit. A housing unit is defined as a structure or a part of structure which is use as a separate living quarter. Generally, a separate living quarter should have its own entrance and kitchen facilities. Household: means a group of persons, related or unrelated, living together and taking food from the same kitchen. The terms household and dwelling household were used synonymously. Household members: are defined on a de jure basis i.e, they are considered as members of the household if they actually live in the household most of the time. This criterion was deemed necessary to avoid double counting of person living in more than one residence. For example, if a family member lives, works or in studying away from his family residence he/she is still considered as a member of the household. Household head: is a person who is acknowledged as such by other members of the household. Economic activity: is synonymous with the definitions of U.N System of National Accounts (SNA-1993) and covers all market production and certain types of non-market production including production and processing of primary products for own consumption, own account construction and production of fixed assets for own use. It excludes unpaid activities such as unpaid domestic activities and voluntary community services. Production of goods and services as specified in the SNA comprises the following: a) The production of goods and services normally intended for sale on the market at a price that is designed to cover their cost of production.
229
b)
The production of other goods and services which are not normally at a price intended to cover the cost of production, these items range from government service and private non-profit services to households and domestic services rendered by one household to another. Specified types of production for own consumption and fixed capital formation for own use. all production of primary products for own consumption covering the products of agriculture, hunting, forestry, logging, mining and quarrying. the processing of primary commodities by the producers of these items in order to make goods such as butter, cheese, flour, oil, cloth or furniture for their own use whether or not they sell any of these products in the market. production for own consumption of other commodities only if they are also produced for the market by the same households. all production of fixed assets for own use that is own-account construction of building, roads and similar works as well as fabrication of tools, instruments containers and similar items which have an expected life or use of one year or more.
c) C1) C2)
C3) C4)
For convenience the activities corresponding to (a) and (b) were designated as market production or market activities, while those corresponding to (c1) to (c4) were taken as non-market production or non-market activities. The aggregate of market production and non-market production constitutes the set of economic activities. All other activities are to be considered as non-economic activities. Labour force: (economically active population)- Economically active population or labour force is defined as persons aged 15 years and over, who are either employed or unemployed during the reference period of the survey (week preceding the day of survey). It excludes disabled and retired persons, income recipients, full time housewives and students, beggars and other persons who did not work for pay or profit at least one hour during the reference week. Employed person: is a person who was either working one or more hours for pay or profit or working without pay in a family farm or enterprise or organization during the reference period or found not working but had a job or business from which he/she was temporarily absent during the reference period. Employed persons versus number of employment: in LFS 2010 there was a provision to include more than one occupation of an employed person, therefore number of employment would be higher than employed person in LFS 2010 230
Unemployed person: is a person who as involuntarily out of gainful employment during the reference period but either (a) (b) has been actively looking for a job or was willing to work but not looking for work because of illness or believing that no work was available.
Under-employment: is the condition whereby a persons employment is considered inadequate in terms of time worked, income earned, productivity or use of his/her skill and the person is looking for additional work in conformity with his/her education or skill to augment income. Not in labour force/inactive: A person who was not engaged in a economic activity. Regular full time students though engaged in household activities in leisure time were treated as inactive and remained outside the labour force. Household work also belongs to this category. Self-employed: means a person working for his/her own household farm or non-farm enterprises for profit or family gain. Such persons do not receive wages or salary for the work performed. Employer: is a self-employed person who may employ one or more persons in a commercial or industrial enterprise. A person employing non-productive servants such as domestic servants was not considered as an employer for the purpose of this survey. Unpaid family worker: is a person who works at least one hour in the reference period (other than household work) without pay or profit in a family operated farm or in a business owned/operated by the household head or other members of the household to whom he/she is related by kinship, marriage, adoption or dependency. The treatment of unpaid family worker is of particular importance in agriculture including fishery and livestock as in most cases such holdings are operated on a household basis and members of the household take part in agricultural production. Unpaid family workers who worked at least one or more hours during the reference period were considered as a part of the labour force. Full-time employee: refers to a salaried worker whose services are engaged for the full working hours of the enterprise or establishment or organization in which he/she works. Casual worker/day labour: refers to a wage earner whose services are solicited only for a periodic time intervals during the reference period. Regular worker/employee: is one who has a regular employment and receives wages or salary from the enterprise or establishment or organization to which they are attached for performing assigned work.
231
Activity rate/economic participation rate: is the ratio of the number of economically active persons to the population aged 15 years and over expressed in percentage. Crude activity rate: is the ratio of the economically active population to the total population expressed in percentage. In other words, the crude activity rate represents the labour force as percent of total population. Refined activity rate: is the ratio of the economically active persons to the population aged 15 years and over expressed in percentage. This is also called economic participation rate. Economic dependency ratio (EDR): is the ratio of the economically inactive population to the economically active population, expressed in percentage that meansEconomically inactive population EDR = -------------------------------------- x 100 Economically active population
Hours worked: are the total number of hours worked during the reference period of the survey. For a person holding more than one job, hour worked is the total of hours worded for all jobs. Occupation: is defined as a type of economic activity which a person usually pursues to earn income in cash or kind. If a person works in more than one occupation the occupation in which maximum working hours were spent was regarded as the main occupation. If equal time is spent in two occupations the main occupation was that which provided the large share of income. Occupation other than main occupation was considered subsidiary occupation. Classification of occupations are based on International Standard Classification of Occupation (ISCO-88). Industry: includes all types of establishment or business in which persons are engaged in producing or distributing good and services during the reference period. The classification of the industry was adopted from Bangladesh Standard Industrial Classification (BSIC, Rev.-4). Reference period: is the week preceding the day of enumeration. Survey year: refers to the year that starts from M ay 2009 to April 2010.

Summary of the Discussions and Decisions taken in Different Technical Committee Meetings on the Labour Force Survey 2010.
Technical Committee Meeting held on 04/05/2011 Discussion : 1. Dr. Barkat-E-Khuda, Professor, Department of Economics, Dhaka University wanted to know about the selection of sample in the divisional level. In response M r. Md. Shamsul Alam, Director, Industry and Labour Wing mentioned that, in selecting divisional sample only divisions were considered and urban-rural breakdown was not considered and as such in providing divisional estimates of variables no urban-rural breakdown will be possible. He also wanted to know about the definition of Labour Force participation rate, Employment and Unemployment rate etc. In response M r. Alam described about the definition of different Labour Force indicators. 2. M r. Faizuddin Ahmed, Consultant, World Bank wanted to know which frame was used in selecting the households in LFS. In response M r. Kabiruddin Ahamed, Deputy Director, Industry and Labour Wing mentioned that Enumeration Areas (EAs) of Population Census 2001 were used as the sampling frame. He also mentioned that as the number of households have increased in 2010 compared to 2001, therefore, more households was taken from the initial estimate of 20 households from each PSU. There were 1500 PSUs in the sample and as many as 45,000 households were covered in LFS,2010. 3. Dr. Pratima Pal M ajumder, Senior Research Fellow, BIDS wanted to know whether person engaged in economic activities less than 15 years of age were included in the LFS 2010.
