Abstract
The 2019 Labour Force and Child Labour Survey (LFCLS) is a national household based survey designed to provide indepth information on the labour force in Zimbabwe, as well as socio-economic indicators useful in monitoring living conditions. The report seeks to accurately determine the current activity status of the population. Statistics on the size and distribution of the two groups are key to formulating economic and social policies and related planning and research.

The 2019 LFCLS is the first labour force survey to be done in Zimbabwe using the 19th International Conference of Labour Statistics (ICLS) resolutions on work statistics.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
A two stage stratified sampling design was used for the 2019 LFCLS. The first involved the selection of enumeration areas using probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling method. The measure of size used for the PPS is the number of households as per 2012 population census. The second stage involved selection of 25 households in each of the selected EAs. The households were the ultimate sampling units and were selected using random systematic sampling.

A total of 419 enumeration areas and 10475 households were covered during the survey.
