Since then, five Labour Force Surveys have been conducted in the country at more or less regular intervals of every four years. This survey was conducted only one year after the previous survey, in 2012, and the Namibia Statistics Agency plans to continue to conduct the LFS on an annual basis going forward.\nLike all its predecessors, the 2014 survey was conducted with the objective of generating \"timely collection and release of key socio-economic indicators for assessment of labour market conditions in Namibia.\" The survey covers all aspects of people's work, including the education and training needed to equip them for work, the jobs themselves, job search of those out of work, and income and benefits from work.\n\nAs with previous LFS analysis this report covers wide-range of topics to meet the demands of local stakeholders in labour statistics, and as well standard reporting demanded by SADC, the AU, and the ILO.  For example we have included SADC Minimum Indicator List page, for a quick glance of standard employment and unemployment indicators for accessing Namibia's efforts in meeting its various developmental goals in particular, those relating job creations.   \n\nMoreover, the anonymised micro-level data used for this report are available via the NSA website at <http:\/\/www.nsa.org.na> to enable other agencies and individuals to conduct further analysis of the data. In this way, the country will derive full benefit from the resources that were allocated to conduct the survey.\n\nIn conclusion, I would like to address my sincere thanks to the International Labour Organisation (ILO) for their technical inputs to the 2014 labour force survey in Namibia.  A word of appreciation goes also to our stakeholders for their contributions towards the review of questions use for the survey. \n\nFinally, I also thank all the staff of the NSA that worked hard for the successful and timely conclusion of the first annual labour force survey in Namibia.","nation":[{"name":"NAMIBIA","abbreviation":"NAM"}],"geog_coverage":"The survey had national coverage.

However, private households within institutional settings were covered, such as teachers' houses on school premises. \nThe sample design for the LFS 2014 was a stratified two-stage probability sample, where the first stage units were geographical areas designated as the Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) and the second stage units were the households. Up-to-date listings of households in the selected PSU was prepared during the field work, and 18 households were selected in each PSU using systematic sampling.","coll_mode":["Face-to-Face"],"sources":[{"name":"","origin":"","characteristics":""}],"weight":"Sample weights were calculated based on probabilities of selection at each stage."}}},"schematype":"survey"}
