PSA Davao Occidental set to complete labor force, family income surveys

MALITA, Davao Occidental, Jan. 28 – The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) – Davao Occidental provincial office is expected to complete its January 2022 Labor Force Survey (LFS) and 2021 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) by end of January this year.

Jessie A. Madulin, PSA Davao Occidental chief statistical specialist, said that his office hired 52 statistical researchers to interview 1,540 sample households from the different barangays of the five municipalities in the province.

The statistical researchers are using the Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) during the interviews, Madulin said in a press release.

He added that the researchers have been trained to equip them with the concepts and definition, related knowledge, enumeration strategies and responsibilities to ensure quality of output and compliance to targets and survey requirements.

Madulin explained that the LFS is a nationwide quarterly survey of households conducted by PSA that aims to provide a quantitative framework for the preparation of plans and formulation of policies affecting the labor market.

While the FIES, he stated, is a rider to the LFS that provides data needed in the different aspects of the country’s economic conditions.

The FIES is also used as basic information for the estimation of the household account in the system of national accounts and balances, measurement of the Human Development Index and measurement of poverty and of the levels of living of different sections of the population and disparities in levels of living across geographical regions and socio-economic groups and for inter temporal comparisons of these levels and disparities.

The FIES Visit 2 has been conducted this month to gather information for the period July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, Madulin further said. (PIA-XI/Carina L. Cayon)
