| Sumario: | Several studies have attempted to correct the total amount of labour force from different census, but there has been little emphasis placed on examination of the consistency of estimates and corrections made of labour force participation rates by age and sex. Results from a number of studies suggest that, beginning in 1960, the quality of census information on the condition of activity alternates between overestimation and underestimation. Tha labour force was significantly overestimated in the census of 1960 and 1980. These facts are used to estimate the direction and level of the tendency in labour force participation rates by age and sex for 1980. The document concludes by discussing the results and providing examples to illustrate the signficance of overestimation and underestimation of the labour force. |
