The broad objective of statistics on the labour force is for measurement of the relationship between employment and other social and economic characteristics of the economically active population for the purpose of formulating and monitoring employment policies and programmes, income-generating and maintenance schemes, vocational training and other similar programs. It provides data on the main characteristics of the workforce engaged or available to be engaged in productive activities during a given period and its distribution in various sectors of the economy.
