Description
|
Percentage of working age people who are full-time employees. The Labour Force Survey (LFS) full-time/part-time split is based on respondent self-classification. Respondents are asked whether they work full-time or part-time in their main job. However, if a respondent classifies their main job as part-time and then says, in answer to a subsequent question about their usual hours of work, that they usually work more than 40 hours per week in their main job (excluding overtime and meal breaks) a validation check is triggered and their status is reclassified as full-time. A similar validation check is triggered if a respondent classifies their status as full-time but later says that they usually work fewer than 16 hours per week in their main job, in which case their status is reclassified as part-time. |
