The reference period for data on labour force is the last week of the survey month. Scope and coverage of collectionHPrivate mauritian households in the islands of Mauritius and Rodrigues. Sampling methodStratified two-stage sampling design. At the first stage, Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) are selected with probability proportional to size and at the second stage, a fixed number of households is selected from each selected PSU. Prior to 2005, the first stage stratification factors were urban, semi urban and rural geographical locations. As from 2005, the Relative Development Index (RDI) is used as the spatial stratification factor. This index is based on 12 variables encompassing housing and living conditions, literacy and education, and employment derived from the 2000 Housing and Population Census to rank PSUs. A set of RDIs for administrative regions has been published in the series "Economic and Social Indicators" - Issue No. 393. xThe second stage stratification criteria are community, household size and average monthly expenditure of the household. Sample size From 1999 to 2003, around 6,500 households were covered each year. In 2004, the sample was increased to 8,640 so that reliable quarterly estimates of labour force, employment and unemployment could be worked out. In 2005, the sample for the year has been further increased to 11,280. Furthermore, in order to measure quarterly changes, 50% of the households sampled in the first quarter have been re-interviewed in the second quarter. For the third quarter also, re-interview has been done for 50 % of households covered in the second quarter. Questionnaire NThe CMPHS questionnaire comprises three modules: a basic module common to all rounds of the survey covering the general characteristics of the population, one or more special topic modules dealing with subjects requiring in-depth investigation and a third module grouping other topics of interest but investigated in less details. YEvery year different topics are covered according to users' needs. As from 2004, the CMPHS is also being used as the instrument for the measurement of labour force, employment and unemployment on a quartely basis; hence, a set of core questions on the labour force has been included and will be kept constant at all rounds of the survey. %Estimation and reliability of resultsEstimates worked out from households survey data are inevitably subject to sampling variability since they are based on information collected from only a sample of households rather than from all households. The Standard Error (S.E) which is a measure of this variability, is used to set confidence intervals for any estimate (whether a total or a rate) derived from the sample. For example, a 95% confidence interval indicates that there is 95% chance that the upper and lower limits of the interval enclose the true value (which would be obtained if all households had been surveyed). Standard errors and confidence intervals are calculated for the main labour force estimates.Definitions used  Definitions of labour force, employment and unemployment used are according to the ILO recommendations. The labour force or active population (aged 15 years and over) is made up of the employed and the unemployed populations. The employed population consists of persons who are working while the unemployed population consists of persons who are not working but who are looking for work and are available for work. The inactive population (aged 15 years and over) is neither employed nor unemployed and consists mainly of students, homemakers, retired persons and the disabled. Activity rate is defined as the percentage of the Mauritian population aged 15 years and over who is active (employed or unemployed). Unemployment rate is the percentage of the Mauritian labour force that is unemployed. kx  '=  BO   ANNEX IIK Labour force, Employment and Unemployment, 15 years and over, 2000 - 2005 ('000) Labour force Employment UnemploymentYear MauritianForeign workersTotalin large establishments2outside large establishmentsNumber Rate (%) Both sexes  514.242005 Male 340.54 Female  173.74 Includes foreign workerss 4 The low increase results from the implementation of the Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) in the sugar industry, Average of March and September figures $ Unemployment as a percentage of Mauritian labour forceJ4 ~V)d*<*+ @ %b-@A  dMbP?_*+%;";??U} }  }  }  }  %@@@@@w@,@,@,@ ,@ ,@ ,@ ,@ ,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@,@i@;hhhhhhhh   ij m m m m m c  c  c  c  c  &klnnnnnddddf&kloooooeeeeg  $  !X A  LL!8 A!
