Italian Labour Force Survey - April (2021)

The Italian Labour Force Survey is the main source of statistical information on the Italian labor market. The information gathered from the population constitutes the basis on which official estimations of employment and unemployment are calculated, as well as information on the main job’s issues –occupation, the sector of economic activity, hours worked, contracts’ type and duration, training. The survey data are used to analyze a number of individual, family and social factors too, such as the increasing labor mobility, changing professions, the growth in female participation, etc.., which determine the difference in labor participation of the population. Starting from the first quarter of 2021, the indications of European Regulation 1700/2019 have been transposed, which concern in particular the changes in the definitions of family and employee, and a new questionnaire has been adopted (see notes). The questionnaire is divided into several sections. In particular, in addition to the first socio-demographic information, the first section covers the employment status during the interview’s week, dealing with questions about the type of work, hours worked, reasons for not working. The second section – reserved for employed people – covers the main job, investigating, in particular, the position in the profession, the industry in which he works, the company he works for, the type of contract, working full-time or part-time and reasons for his selection, working hours, overtime hours, shift work, night and weekend work, job transfer, salary, job satisfaction. The third section – always reserved for employed people – concerns the secondary work (if any). It’s exclusively addressed to respondents who carry out another activity compared to the main one and only detects certain information such as the type of activity, type of contract, occupation, the economic sector he works in, hours worked. The fourth section – for unemployed people – collects information about previous work experiences: last work, type of contract, occupation, economic sector, the reasons for the interruption of work. The fifth section deals with the job search. It investigates the reason for seeking a job, the actions put in place to look for it, the channels used to look for and the type of work sought. The sixth section deals with self-perceived employment conditions, and retirement. The seventh section concerns employment services and employment agencies, and investigates their use by the respondents: quantity of contacts, reason for contact, services required. The eighth section concerns education and training: degree obtained, course of study currently attended, professional training. The last section focuses on the self-perception of the employment status, compared to the previous year.意大利劳动力调查（Italian Labour Force Survey）是意大利劳动力市场统计信息的核心来源。从受访人群收集的信息，是官方计算就业与失业估算值的基础，同时也涵盖了职业、经济活动行业、工作时长、合同类型与期限、培训等主要就业相关议题的信息。该调查数据还可用于分析诸多影响人群劳动力参与率差异的个人、家庭与社会因素，例如日益加剧的劳动力流动、职业变迁、女性劳动参与率增长等。自2021年第一季度起，该调查落实了欧盟第1700/2019号条例的相关规定，其中特别涉及家庭与雇员的定义修订，并启用了全新的调查问卷（详见注释）。该调查问卷分为多个模块：其中第一部分除基础社会人口学信息外，涵盖受访当周的就业状况，涉及工作类型、工作时长、未就业原因等问题；第二部分仅限在职受访者填写，聚焦主要工作，具体调查内容包括职业岗位、所在行业、任职企业、合同类型、全职/兼职状态及入职原因、工作时长、加班时长、轮班制度、夜班与周末工作情况、岗位调动、薪酬、工作满意度等；第三部分同样仅限在职受访者，涉及第二职业（如有），仅面向开展与主要工作不同的额外活动的受访者，仅收集活动类型、合同类型、职业、所在经济行业、工作时长等特定信息；第四部分针对失业人群，收集其既往工作经历信息，包括上一份工作、合同类型、职业、经济行业、工作中断的原因等；第五部分围绕求职活动展开，调查求职原因、已采取的求职行动、使用的求职渠道及意向求职岗位类型；第六部分涉及自我感知的就业状况与退休相关内容；第七部分聚焦就业服务与职业中介机构，调查受访者的使用情况，包括接触次数、接触原因、所需服务类型等；第八部分涵盖教育与培训内容，包括已获得的学位、当前就读的专业课程、职业培训情况；最后一部分则对比上一年度，评估受访者对自身就业状况的自我认知。
