Labor Market Panel Survey, JLMPS 2010, Jordan
No full textThe JLMPS 2010 offers significant advantages over the regular Employment and Unemployment (EUS) survey conducted quarterly by the Department of Statistics (DOS). Although it is only the first wave of what is to be a longitudinal survey, it contains a number of retrospective questions that allow us to reconstruct entire employment trajectories rather than simply get a snapshot of a single point in time. The main advantage of this approach is that it allows for the examination of flows into various segments of the labor market and not simply stocks over time.
The JLMPS 2010 data also offers significant advantages over the EUS in its ability to identify informal employment in its various guises, including wage and salary employment without contracts or social insurance and self-employment and unpaid family employment. It also offers a more detailed view of employment conditions including paid and unpaid leaves, the presence of health insurance, hours of work, and the type and size of economic unit in which the worker is employed.
Since JLMPS 2010 has the same sampling strategy as the EUS it focuses exclusively on the population residing in regular households rather than in collective residential units. This makes it equally likely as the EUS to under-sample the foreign worker population in Jordan.
