Database Specific
Database Specific Abstract AbstractThe indicator refers to the number of persons expressed in thousands who are classified as employed people by an adaptation of the International Classification of the Situation in Employment (CISE-93) or occupational category. The estimates were updated in accordance to the annual review process of the National Labour Force Survey carried out in the April-June quarter. For more information, check the technical note “Policy for the revision and update of figures from the National Labour Force Survey (ENE)”, published on July 30, 2021.

Reference period Reference periodThe week (Monday to Sunday) before the period of collection. The ENE can have four or five reference weeks, depending on the month. Each week of collection has a mobile reference week that varies according to the week of collection.
Sampling SamplingSampling of the ENE has two stages and is probabilistic. The two stages refer to the First Stage Sampling Unit (UPE), which is the block (urban) or section (rural), and the Second Stage Sampling Unit (USE), which is the private occupied dwelling. Probabilistic means that the selection of the UPE in each stratum is proportional to the size of the unit in relation to the number of dwellings (USE) and that the probability of selection of the USE is equal for all dwellings within the UPE.

Population & Scope Population & Scope Geographic coverage Geographic coverageAll the mainland of Chile, except for the Areas of Difficult Access (ADA)
Population coverage Population coverageThe population living in Chile, excluding collective housing. Also excluded, because of operational problems, are areas of difficult access (ADA) and blocks with seven or fewer dwellings.
Statistical population Statistical populationPopulation aged 15 and over who live in the homes of the selected occupied private dwellings.
Concepts & Classifications Concepts & Classifications Classification(s) used Classification(s) used(1) ICSE classification: Classification of types of occupations, based on a relationship of dependency and subordination. (2) CIIU4.cl 2012, according to CAENES: Classification used to identify the branch of economic activity of the economic unit that pays the employed person or that the employed person owns.

Other Aspects Other Aspects Other comments Other commentsAs part of the process of strengthening the National Labour Force Survey (ENE), the platform includes estimates that apply the calibration method of sampling weights according to the base population projections of the 2017 Census. Series corresponding to calibration based on population projections from the 2002 Census were discontinued.
Quality comments Quality commentsThe quality of the estimates are evaluated according to the "Standard for evaluating the quality of estimates in household surveys".
