What is the Continuous Sample Survey of Population?

The Continuous Sample Survey of Population is the Nation’s Premier Household Probability Sample Survey primarily designed as a vehicle to obtain information on Employment, Unemployment and other Labour Force characteristics of the population as a whole or various subgroups of the population. It is also used as an omnibus survey for mounting myriad, high profile social and economic investigations by social scientists in both the public and private sectors, and national and international researchers. It has been used as a model for household surveys both within the nation and other CARICOM countries.
