Samoa Labour Force and School-to-Work Transition Survey 2017

The conceptual framework used in this second labour force survey in Samoa aligns closely with the standards and guidelines set out in Resolutions of International Conferences of Labour Statistician

The 2017 Samoa Labour Force Survey was conducted as a joint exercise between the Samoa Bureau of Statistics and the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Labour and was co-funded by the International Labour Organization and the Trade, Commerce and Manufacturing (TCM) Sector Coordinating Unit of MCIL. Furthermore, the 2017 Samoa Labour Force Survey was implemented simultaneously with the 2017 Samoa School to Work Transition Survey as the two surveys are closely inter-related.

This is the first time ever that the Samoa Bureau of Statistics has used CAPI (computer aided personal interview) where tablets were used to record answers out on the field
