Decent Work Indicator of the ILO. The objective is to capture the general development of wage income across time. The fiftieth percentile is calculated and multiplied by the deflator (whose calculation is based on the CPI) to control for changes in consumer prices across time (values of October of the last year of calculation / estimations by province, city and urban/rural area valued at october 2019)

Click to collapse Sampling

Sampling 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.

For the main income variables, a variant of the conditional means imputation is used for the search and selection of donors. Qualitative variables (demand levels based on characteristics of income recipients) are mixed with geographic variables (areas of estimation). The omissions or refusals to deliver information that are considered for the purposes of this imputation are: Labor income from principal occupation (Income from Wages and Salaries, and Income from Self-Employment). For the variable of the number of hours actually worked in the reference month, a substitution methodology is used, that is, the imputation of the hours actually worked using data reported by the same informant in terms of hours usually worked.

Income from work: total income from current principal activity, received in the reference month of the survey. Real income: the adjustment in income in consideration of inflation as determined by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

According to the sample design, the calculation of the expansion factor is made up of two parts that account for each of the selection stages, that is, a weighting that accounts for the selection of first-stage units (blocks and sections ); and another, which accounts for the selection of second-stage units (dwellings) and is calculated as the inverse of the probabilities of selection of said sampling units. The resulting factor (formed by both selection stages) is adjusted by information annexed to the survey, which accounts for the population stocks obtained from the Population and Housing Census of 2017. This adjustment corresponds to the calibration by the Raking method.

Statistical population

Employed population

Geographic coverage

The population living in Chile, excluding collective housing. Also excluded, because of operational problems, are areas of difficult access (ADA) and blocks with 7 or fewer dwellings.

Sector coverage

All economic sectors used in the classification ISIC4.cl 2012, according to CAENES are covered. It should be noted that, for the Supplementary Survey of Income, the branch of economic activity refers to the sector of the economic unit, company, or business where the employed person works.

Classifier of economic activities - CAENES (in Spanish)https://www.ine.gob.cl/docs/default-source/ocupacion-y-desocupacion/metodologia/espanol/documento-clasificador-de-rama-de-actividad-econ%C3%B3mica-caenes-(abril-2016).pdf?sfvrsn=1b1cc016_3?len=en
Population coverage

The entire population aged 15 and over, belonging to households of private dwellings selected in the chosen blocks (or sections) of the sampling frame (excluding collective households).

Key statistical concept

Income from work: total income from current principal activity, received in the reference month of the survey. Real income: the adjustment in income in consideration of inflation as determined by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Dissemination format(s)

Dissemination has three formats: 1. Institutional webpage for the publication of official tabulations (2010-2017), databases, and related documents. 2. PDF documents related to the analysis of specific profiles of income. 3. Micro-databases in STATA, SPSS and CSV format.
