The method stipulates that there are methodological differences between
these indicators, and additional work is required to bring them into a
comparable form. It also indicates the need to adjust the number of
employees who worked part-time in accordance with the terms of the
contract, as well as adjusting the structure of the population coverage and
taking into account interregional labour migration.
Also, a similar method of calculation is described in the average monthly
income of employment [Zarova E. & Musikhin S. & Smelov P. (2016); Laikam
K.E et al. (2017)].
My research is devoted to solving the methodological question of
determining informal employment according to a sample survey of labour
related to the distribution of the survey results. The ILO recommendations on
conducting LFS recommend a direct question, allowing to reveal the formality
of the employment relationship between the employee and the employer.
Based on the answer choices, it is possible to form the indicator “The number
of employees working in organizations by verbal agreement (component of
informal employment No2), people”.
Knowing the features of the distribution of sample survey data on the
demographic structure of the population of last year, I set a goal to study the
impact of this methodological assumption and myself distributed the survey
results to the current demographic structure of the population. I suggested
that due to the high difference in the adjacent years of the sex-age pyramid
in the cohort groups of the population of the Russian Federation (Fig. 1,
[Website Rosstat]), the LFS results should be weighed on the demographic
structure set at the beginning of the current year. This procedure is described
in the methodological guidelines of international statistical services [ILO
(2018), p.28; ILO (2017), p.8]. However, at present, Russian official statistics use
the demographic structure at the beginning of the year preceding the year of
the survey in order to promptly weigh the results of the LFS without waiting
for the results of the demographic statistics.
