Labour Force Survey Report 2012 Key Findings

Labour Force Survey Report, 2012
FOREWORD
The Labour Market Information & Research Division (LMIRD) of the Department of
Employment, Ministry of Labour and Human Resources (MoLHR) is pleased to publish the 10th
National Labour Force Survey Report 2012 conducted between March April, 2012.
The Survey was conducted with the aim to provide reliable and timely labour market information
on the labour situation of the country at particular point of time. The stability and growth of the
countrys economy depends on the proper execution of plans and programs. For this purpose, it
is necessary to have a clear knowledge and understanding of the size, composition and economic
characteristics of the population. Therefore, it is imperative to know and monitor the growth of
human resources categorized by its respective demographic features and educational level on a
timely basis.
The Labour Force Survey (LFS) had been incepted since 1998. From 2003, it has become a
regular activity of MoLHR. The Department of Employment will from now on conduct the
Labour Force Survey annually to enable the Ministry to assess the current and emerging labour
situation in the country.
We would like to express our deep appreciation and acknowledge the cooperation received from
the National Statistics Bureau (NSB). I would also like to extend special thanks to the
Dzongkhag Administrations, the Thuemis, Gups, Geog Administrative Officers, Chupons,
Mangmis and our esteemed respondents for their generous cooperation and support rendered to
our survey teams without which the survey would not have been possible.
I am hopeful that this survey report will be informative and will be a useful document to people
working at all levels of administration, decision making, planning, research and other group of
beneficiaries. We welcome readers feedbacks, suggestions and valuable comments for its
further improvement.

PART II: SURVEY COVERAGE & METHODOLOGY
SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
Labour Force Survey is a regular activity of the Labour Market Information & Research Division
(LMIRD) of the Department of Employment. It is conducted with a moving reference period i.e
one week prior to date of interview. This is the 10th nationwide Labour Force Survey covering a
national representative sample of 12,000 households (urban=9000 & rural=3000). The survey
covered more households in the urban areas since urban population is more heterogeneous and
the economic activities prevailing in the same are quite diverse. The data contained in this report
includes demographic and economic characteristics.
1. METHODOLOGY
The statistics and information contained in this publication are obtained from 12,000 sampled
households in urban and rural areas. Personal interviews were carried out in each sampled
household. Out of 12,000 sampled households only 11,764 households (questionnaires) were
fully completed, accounting for 98.03% completion rate. Of 12,000 households, 236 households
did not respond comprising of 1.97% as non-response rate. The sampling frame for the rural
areas had been developed from the Population & Housing Census of Bhutan 2005 and for the
urban the latest frame (2012) developed by the National Statistics Bureau had been used.
OBJECTIVES & COVERAGE
Labour Force Survey aims to provide a quantitative framework for the preparation of plans,
programs and formulation of policies affecting the Bhutanese labour market.
Broadly the objective of the survey is to generate the following:
Percentage of economically active population;

Labour force participation rate;
Status of active population in number (employed + unemployed);
The labour force available in the country by age group, sex, level of education,
nationality, marital status, area of residence, by industrial and occupational classification,
hours of work and;
The survey also provides information on main and subsidiary economic activities and
womens participation in the total labour force. It also reveals the labour situation
especially the young generation entering labour market and unemployment problem.
The survey covered all the 20 Dzongkhags out of which 200 sampled Chiwogs in the rural areas
and 272 sampled blocks in the urban areas. The foreign nationals and those members who were
temporarily absent from the households but living in the institutions like school, hostels, army
barracks, hospital and prisons were included as household members to increase the precision for
population estimation. Concurrently, the survey excluded those members who were absent from
the household for more than six months to avoid double counting since they would be counted as
household members of the current household they reside with.

2. QUESTIONNAIRE
The questionnaire used for 10th National Labour Force Survey 2012 is the revised form of the
National Labour Force Survey 2011 questionnaire. The questionnaire had been reviewed by
officials of the Labour Market Information & Research Division.
The questionnaire has been pre-tested and checked for its reliability to ensure its precision in
capturing good data and information. The questionnaire comprises two parts, namely, the
demographic characteristics and economic characteristics. The economic characteristics is
collected only from those persons aged 15 years and above as per the International Labour
Organization (ILO) definition of working age population.
3. SAMPLE DESIGN
Universe: The universe for the National Labour Force Survey 2012 consists of all the urban and
rural areas of Bhutan i.e all the 20 Dzongkhags
i. Sampling Frame: The sampling frame has been developed by the National Statistics Bureau.
Each town in a Dzongkhag has been divided into numerous enumeration blocks. The block for
the urban has been demarcated by the Department of Urban and Housing Development, Ministry
of Works and Human Settlement. Enumeration blocks for urban and Chiwogs for rural have been
considered as Primary Sampling Unit (PSUs). The households in both urban and rural were
considered as Secondary Sampling Unit (SSUs).
ii. Stratification Plan: Each Dzongkhag is considered as primary stratum and the stratifying
factors used were the geographical demarcation of the administrative boundaries. There were
two sub-strata namely urban and rural.
iii. Sampling Design: A stratified two-stage sampling method has been adopted for the survey as
follows.
a. Selection of primary sampling units (PSUs): The blocks and the Chiwogs have been
taken as the PSUs in urban and rural respectively. In both the urban and rural areas
the blocks and Chiwogs were selected with the assignment of Probability
Proportional to Size (PPS).
b. Selection of secondary sampling units (SSUs): The households in the sampled
blocks and Chiwogs were considered as SSUs. A fixed number of sampled
households have been selected from the selected PSUs by Circular Systematic
Sampling (CSS) method after listing the households present in blocks and Chiwogs
exhaustively.
iv. Sample size and its allocation: With the resources at our disposal, the nature of population
distribution and the variability of characteristics for which the estimates are to be made, a sample
of 12000 households have been found appropriate to provide reliable estimate of key labour
force characteristics. It is also based on the past experiences.

7. Field Operation: For maintaining the conformity of survey concepts, definitions and
procedure to be used during enumeration, training for a week was imparted to the concerned
supervisors and enumerators on interviewing techniques and survey procedures. For quality
control, supervisors made frequent visits to the field for spot- checking during data collection.
8. Method of data collection: Data have been collected by direct interview method. There were
64 enumerators, 8 supervisors and one field coordinator for duration of 33 days. The survey was
launched with representative sample size of 12,000 (9.3%) households out of 131,194 total
households.
9. Non-response rate: Out of 12000 households, 236 were found as non-response accounting
for 1.97%. One major source of non-sampling error is non-response. Non-response is caused due
to absence of occupants in the sample house, due to total refusal to answer any of the questions
and sometimes when the interviewee is incapable to answer.
10. Data Processing: Soon after data collection, the supervisors were held responsible to edit
and check the filled in questionnaires for consistency and completeness and sent for revisits
wherever necessary. Further coding, manual checking and editing were carried out at Ministry.
Also during data entry in Census and Survey Processing System (CSPRO), further identified
errors were edited by applying computer edit checks, data ranges in numerical values in order to
eliminate erroneous data resulted while coding. The survey records were edited and corrected
through a series of computer processing stages.

The figure above indicates the labour force participation rates by sex in different age groups in the country.
The male curve shows similar labour force participation curve as that of developed countries. However,
14

female curve in Bhutan is not M-shaped, which is normally observed in the developed countries. This is
mainly because women in Bhutan do not quit jobs during the child bearing age group, as they avail
maternity leave, which is considered economically active in the labour force but as for the developed
countries female labour force participation increases or shoots up in the beginning and gradually decline as
women quit jobs to give care to their children. The participation again picks up from mid 30s to 40s as once
again they join into the labour market.
Figure 7: Labour Force participation by resident of labour force and age group, 2012
Percentage
The figure below presents the distribution of labour force by area of residence and age group. The graph
indicates that higher rates of participation are observed in the rural areas. This is mainly due to the fact that
more number of people in the rural areas still involved in the agricultural industry. The labour force survey
2012 statistics reveal that 62.2% of the labour force in Bhutan is involved in the agricultural industry when
classified by major economic activity.

8. Unemployment Status:
Unemployed rate is defined as the percentage of total unemployed to the total labour force. The
unemployment rate has shown a decline from 3.1 % in 2011 to 2.1% in 2012. Female
unemployed rate is higher (2.2%) compared to males (1.9%). The LFS 2012 statistics also reveal
that more number of people are unemployed in the urban areas (3.5%) than rural areas (1.5 %).
Higher rates of unemployment are observed in the ages between 15-19 and 20-24 year. The same
pattern is observed for males and females separately. The youth unemployment rate has
decreased from 9.2% in 2011 to 7.3% in 2012. The pattern of high unemployment in the early
age groups indicates that these are the youths entering the labour market with certain level of
education that are available for work or looking for work but lacks the required skills needed for
immediate employment.
