Abstract
Labour statistics play an essential role in the efforts of the country to achieve decent work for all. These statistics are needed for the development of policies towards this goal and for assessing progress towards decent work.
The government of Rwanda needs updated information for monitoring progress on programs and policies as stipulated in the first National Strategy for Transformation (NST1) 2017-24, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as vision 2050. To monitor progress towards these goals and targets, relevant, reliable, coherent, timely and accessible labour statistics have to be produced.
The National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda introduced the labour force survey (LFS) program since 2016 to provide key stakeholders, Ministry of Public Service and Labour and Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, the Ministry of Education, International Labour Organization and other users, with needed labour statistics.
The ultimate goal of the labour force survey is to collect data on employment and labour underutilization characteristics of the population on a continuous basis, providing quarterly estimates of the main labour force aggregates. The Rwanda Labour Force survey programme begun in 2016 with an annual sample spread into two rounds to provide bi-annual estimates of main indicators at the National level. From February 2019, the annual sample was spread into four rounds to provide estimates of main labour market indicators on quarterly basis at the National level. This specific report combine data of all four rounds for which the data collection was conducted in 2022, specifically in February, May, August and November, to provide 2022 annual estimates at national and district level where applicable.
