EU LFS ad_hoc_module results - reliability limits from 1998 onwards |
03.07.2020 |
THOSE LIMITS ARE TO BE USED FOR ADHOC MODULE DATA |
The EU Labour Force Survey, like all sample surveys, is based upon a sample of the target population. LFS results are therefore subject to the usual types of errors associated with sampling techniques. Based upon the sample design and size in the individual Member States, Eurostat implements basic guidelines intended to avoid publication of figures which are statistically unreliable. These guidelines are summarised below. |

Values for groups of countries are calculated as the maximum of the values of the countries belonging to the group. EU and EURO_AREA are to be understood in their current composition. Values for other country groups can be derived in the same way. |
Figures less than those in column A above should not be published; by convention, a dot or full stop is used instead. Figures less than those given in column B but greater than thosein column A should only be published with a warning concerning their reliability. By convention, they appear between brackets. |
In most cases data released by Eurostat will conform to these rules. In some circumstances data may be provided to researchers without the modifications described above. This is done to enable them deriving their own aggregated tables in the course of their analysis. Once the aggregations have been finalised, the guidelines outlined above have to be observed again. Compliance with this principle is to be considered as acondition of the release of data in this form. |
