Explanation:

Gambia Labour Force Survey (GLFS) conducted from July to December 2018. The survey was conducted by the Gambia Bureau of Statistics (GBoS) in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade, Regional Integration and Employment (MoTIE) on behalf of the Government of The Gambia. The 2018 GLFS is the second of such survey conducted by the Government in collaboration with Development Partners and other stakeholders.

The objective of these surveys was to collect labour market information and other socio-economic data required for policy formulation and decision making in planning processes. The 2018 GLFS findings, will enhance monitoring and evaluation of the National Development (NDP 2018-2021) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in respect of economic growth and reduction of unemployment.

The survey provides indicators, which are very important in monitoring and assessing economic growth of a country. The labour force surveys are intended to collect, compile and analyse numerical information on the labour market. This information can also be used to assess the impact of various policies on social and economic activities of the people and consequently identify the disadvantaged groups of the population which will be used by policy makers to design relevant policy that address the situation.
