SWS survey on unemployment disputed

by www.gov.com.ph - 02/25/2009
 
"MANILA (PND) -- Labor Secretary Marianito Roque said today that the Social Weather Station (SWS) survey on unemployment is not comparable to the Labor Force Survey (LFS) done by the National Statistics Office (NSO)."
 
In a text message to Malacanang reporters, Roque said the LFS’ “concept and survey design is based on international standards which is more scientific,” while the SWS study is an opinion survey which is accurate only in four questions with dichotomous responses like yes or no.

“LFS has 50,000 household samples nationwide compared with only 1,200 samples of SWS drawn from Comelec list of voters, which may not be of equal probability, hence does not capture adequate changes in national unemployment situation,” Roque said.

Roque was referring to the latest SWS survey that about 11 million Filipino adults, or 27.9 percent of the adult labor force, are unemployed.

The survey, conducted from Nov. 28 to Dec. 1, 2008, also found that hunger was higher among families of the unemployed (31.4 percent) compared to families of the employed (consisting of private and government employees, and the self employed).

The percentage of unemployed adults in the SWS surveys has been 20 percent and above since May 2005, except for Dec. 2007 when it was 17.5 percent, the survey firm said.
