Codes and Frequencies
Description
This variable indicates the type of statistical operation, covering three types: census, population/community surveys, and labor force surveys.
In a census, the entire population is visited during data collection. Some countries implement population counts that similarly cover the entire population (classified as "census" in ENUMOP), but with a shorter questionnaire.
Population surveys typically use a large sample, without full population coverage, and are focused on population trends. Labor force or employment surveys use nationally representative samples and are specifically focused on the analysis of the labor market.
