Issues and challenges Issues and challenges Proposed solutions The current QLFS plans does not follow the actual quarter period of the calendar year (April, July, October and January). The SSD is proposing to conduct the QLFS following the strict quarter periods (this would entail doing away one survey planned for May 2024) For the second quarter labour force survey period, budget will not be available yet since the releases are made only towards end of July. Request the Ministry of Finance for special arrangements, so that quarterly reference period of data collection for LFS is not hampered Whenever there is an election (Local Government, National Council, National surveys/censuses are put on halt and as a result the time series disturbed. Take up the matter to Cabinet with the justification that surveys and census are the core mandate of the agency and hence election process should not disrupt the conduct of data collection. NSB will ensure that the survey/census does not coincide with the actual poll day. Assembly), the
Issues and challenges Issues and challenges Proposed solutions With the increasing number of surveys/censuses in the country, the entry into the military barracks (RBA) to conduct interview is becoming more difficult.
