made uniformly for assuring the representativeness of the
data.

cover a full 12-month period, i.e.365 consecutive days,
preferably including holidays (like Christmas and New
Year).

Why TUS didn’t follow the all HETUS
recommendations?
 The limited financial and human resources. It wasn’t
created a separated Unit.
 To not increase interviewers/supervisors burden:
The fieldwork is carried out by the same personnel involved
in two other continuous surveys, LFS and HBS:
 150 interviewers;
 51 controllers/supervisors;
 5 persons in the Labour Market Statistics Division in the
NBS Head Office
UNECE Work Session on Gender statistics, 12-15 March 2012, Geneva, Switzerland
What are the main problems?
Coding issues
The coding of the diary is manually performed by the
regional survey supervisors.
 Problems with monitoring supervisors work;
 Little accuracy in the coding;
 Necessity to come back to check daily diaries, to read
the original description and to correct coding errors;
 It takes a lot of time for checking and data processing.
