HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE MAY 2019 LABOUR FORCE AND HOUSEHOLD INCOME SURVEY Employment rose by 4,330 in May when compared to November 2018 and reached about 215,000 persons.
On a year-over-year basis, employment grew by 6,635 or 3.2%.

Meanwhile, the national unemployment rate dropped to 9.5%, down from 10.7% in November.

Hightlights Two of the three most populated islands that were surveyed experienced decreases in their unemployment rates, and one experienced an increase.

At the time of the survey, the rate in New Providence was 9.4%; and in Grand Bahama 10.9%.

On the other hand, Abaco’s unemployment rate increased from 7.7% in November to 9.3% in May.
Employment gains were driven by private sector employees which increased by 1.8% to 137,605 persons when compared to November.

Additionally, the number of self-employed persons remained unchanged 32,475 since November 2018.
The “Hotel and restaurant” sector experienced the greatest increase since May 2018 (24%) while the “Community, Social and Personal Service” industry, which includes the civil service, police service and domestic service continued to be the country’s largest employer in May 2019 and accounted for 35% of the workforce.

The vulnerable employment remain basically unchanged since May 2018 with no difference in its rate of 6.9% of total employment.

Males (11,355) still dominate this category.


These workers as defined by ILO are less likely to have formal work arrangements, and more likely to lack decent working conditions and are often characterized by inadequate earnings and benefits.

Department of Statistics 1 Women were more likely than men to be unemployed Overall, the unemployment rate for women dropped to 9.9% in May, compared to 9.2% for men.
Young women, those aged 15-24 and core-aged women, those aged 25 to 54, were more likely to be unemployed than their male counterparts.

By contrast, men aged 55 years and over were slightly more likely to be unemployed when compared with women in their same age cohort.
Young women were more likely to be unemployed than young men According to The Caribbean Development Bank’s (CDB) report, youth unemployment in the Caribbean is among the highest in the world, with the unemployment rate for those aged 15 to 24 reaching 42.7%.

Similar patterns persist in the Bahamas, as youth unemployment for women was highest recorded for all age groups.

The unemployment rate for young women reached 20.7%, compared with 19.5% for young men, 20.0% for both sexes.
Department of Statistics 2 Unemployment is higher for women than men despite higher education attainment Nationwide, for the unemployed persons that had completed secondary school, there is a slight difference in the proportion of males (62.5%) and females (67.2%).

However, a larger percentage of unemployed males (16.8%) than females (9.8%) had not completed secondary school.

Conversely, a larger proportion of unemployed females (11.2%) than males (5.2%) had completed university.
Number of discouraged workers declined In the six months from November 2018, the number of discouraged workers in the country declined by 2.0%.

Notably, the number of discouraged workers fell by 1.0% in New Providence and 5.4% Grand Bahama.

However, the number of discouraged workers in Abaco increased by 7.3 %.
Discouraged workers, according to the standard definition of the International Labour Organization (ILO), “are persons without work and available for work, yet were not actively seeking work because they are not hopeful about their prospects of finding work.” Department of Statistics 3 OUTLINE OF THE LABOUR FORCE SURVEY PURPOSE The primary objective of the Labour Force Survey (LFS) of The Bahamas is to provide up-to- date information on the Labour Force size and characteristics on an annual basis.

SAMPLE DESIGN, FIELD PROCEDURES AND ESTIMATION PROCESSES OF THE 2019 SURVEY 2.1 SAMPLE DESIGN In general the LFS sample is drawn from New Providence, Grand Bahama and most recently Abaco and two or three additional Family Islands.

The Family Islands covered in each cycle of the LFS are rotated in and out of sample to ensure that over time the more populated islands are represented directly.

For May 2019 Inagua and Berry Island remained in the sample and will be rotated out in the November 2019 round.
This concludes all the islands inclusive before The Census 2020.

The Department utilizes a multi-stage-stratified design in which each selected island forms a stratum.

Each stratum contains a number of supervisory districts, which correspond to the political constituencies, as they existed in 2010.

All supervisory districts are represented in the sample.

The supervisory districts are further subdivided into enumeration districts.
The number of enumeration districts depends on the number of households in the supervisory district as each enumeration area comprises about 150 households.

In turn, enumeration districts (ED’s) are selected at random based on the size of the supervisory district relative to the stratum.

Finally, households within the selected ED's are selected randomly.
The May 2019 sample included 2,500 private households in New Providence, Grand Bahama, Abaco, Berry Island and Inagua, and All persons 15 years of age and over within these households who were usual residents were interviewed.

2.2 FIELD OPERATIONS In practice, the survey includes two phases of fieldwork.

In the first phase all the households in the selected enumeration districts are listed.

This procedure takes approximately four (4) months.
The second phase, which usually occurs in May, consists of enumerating randomly selected households from the lists of households of the enumeration districts.

Administrative field checks usually last for four weeks after the enumeration.

Department of Statistics 4 2.3 METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION Data for the labour force are collected by personal interview, usually with the head or other responsible member of the household.
Every year approximately ninety-five enumerators and twenty supervisors are recruited to complete the task.

2.4 ESTIMATION PROCEDURES Information from individuals and households with like characteristics are weighted-up to produce separate population estimates by sex based on the population ratio estimation method.

In the estimating procedure the estimates of the total Non-Institutional Population 15 years old and over is used to blow up the sample estimates.
Separate raising factors are calculated for males and females using the formula: Pi pi Where Pi is the estimated total population 15 years and over and pi is the sample population 15 years and over.

RELIABILITY OF DATA The estimates in this report are based on information collected in the May 2019 sample survey carried out in New Providence, Grand Bahama, Abaco, Berry Island and Inagua.
These estimates are prone to sampling errors and therefore are subjected to statistical tests, which help in ascertaining the reliability of the data The absolute value of the standard error and its value in relation to the magnitude of the statistics (proportion in this instance) being estimated should be cited.

For this purpose, the standard error can be expressed as a proportion (percent) of the value being estimated.

This is called the relative error or coefficient of variation.
Therefore, when using data, comparisons of the larger estimates may be used with confidence but smaller estimates should be regarded with caution.

For instance, small differences from one period to another may be due only to sampling error.

For this reason, comparison of particular variables from one survey to another should be used cautiously and should be regarded only as a guideline for ascertaining general trends.
This is an inevitable limitation of data obtained by sampling, and consequently, restricts the detailed cross-classifications that can be attempted.

Detailed cross-classification or detailed information for very small areas can be best obtained from a Census.
At the 95% level of confidence the standard error, relative error and margin of error for the estimate of the number of unemployed persons are as follows: Department of Statistics 6 Standard Standard Deviation Variance Skewnes s Kurtosi s Island All Bahamas New Providence Grand Bahama Abaco Berry Island Inagua Error 0.0229152 0.0217457 0.0158397 0.0166475 0.0063482 0.0045095 1.679359 1.678853 1.705511 1.650924 1.752549 0.816496 2.820246 0.9294313 2.96216 2.818546 3.3158 1.077617 2.908766 0.9122614 2.81501 0 2.72555 0.4156972 3.071429 -0.234068 1.42185 2 0.666667 0 Department of Statistics 7 CHART I: TOTAL LABOUR FORCE: MAY 2013 - MAY 2019 S N O S R E P F O R E B M U N 260,000 240,000 220,000 200,000 180,000 160,000 140,000 120,000 100,000 80,000 60,000 YEARS Department of Statistics 8 Department of Statistics 9 CHART III: UNEMPLOYMENT RATES BY SEX: MAY 2013- MAY 2019 TOTAL MEN WOMEN E G A T N E C R E P 20.0 18.0 16.0 14.0 12.0 10.0 8.0 6.0 4.0 2.0 0.0 Department of Statistics 10 CHAT IV: LORENZ CURVES AGGREGATE HOUSEHOLD INCOME: 1973, 1986, 199, 2014, 2017, 2018 AND 2019 120 100 80 60 40 20 20 40 60 80 100 Percent of Households PERFECT EQUALITY 1973 1986 1999 2014 2017 Department of Statistics 11 CHART V PERCENTAGE DISTRIBUTION OF LABOUR FORCE BY EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION:MAY 2019 OTHER TRADE CERTIFICATE 10% NOT STATED 0% NONE 22% DEGREED PERSONS/PROFESSI ONALS… BJC /PITMAN/RSA, ETC 16% GCE 'A' LEVEL 0% GCE O LEVEL/BGCSE 30% Department of

It was designed to collect data on the Labour Force as well as Household Income.

The survey was conducted biennially until 1979, after which there was a break in the series.

The survey was revived in 1986 and since 1988 has been conducted annually except in census years.

In 1991, a Rotational Sample Survey was introduced and since the 2000 Census a new design was implemented.

The early surveys covered New Providence, Grand Bahama and six of the Family Islands.
This coverage proved costly and was also difficult to manage.

Results, from the latest Census indicated that New Providence and Grand Bahama accounted for approximately 85% of both population and dwellings in The Bahamas.

Therefore, the new sample design has New Providence and Grand Bahama and Abaco sampled annually with the remaining islands sampled on a rotation basis.
85 APPENDIX II - CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS 86 CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS REFERENCE WEEK In 2019, the enumeration began on May 6th and continued until the end of May.

The week proceeding this period, April 9th to May 5th, was the reference week.

All data collected referred to economic activity during that seven-day period.
PRIVATE HOUSEHOLD A private household is defined as a person or group of persons who live together and who collectively make provision for sustenance, budgeting and other essentials for living.

Any one of the following may constitute a household: i) ii) iii) a family with or without lodgers or servants.

a person living alone.

a group of unrelated persons living together.

HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD The head of the household is that person who is acknowledged as such by the other members.
This is usually but not necessarily, the person who bears the chief responsibility for the economic maintenance of the household.

HOUSEHOLD INCOME This is the total annual receipts of personal incomes of all persons in the household and includes payments for production, such as wages and salaries, income from self-employment and earned rent, dividends and interest receipts.
AGE Age refers to age at last birthday in years MARITAL STATUS This refers to the personal status of each individual in relation to the marriage laws, or customs of The Bahamas.
Marital status categories are as follows: i) ii) iii) iv) single(never married) married(legally) common-law other 87 THE LABOUR FORCE/ ECONOMICALLY ACTIVE POPULATION The labour force is that segment of the population, fifteen years of age and over, engaged in or willing and able to be engaged in the production of goods and services.

It is composed of those persons with jobs- the Employed, and those without jobs but who were engaged in some job- seeking activity- the Unemployed.
THE EMPLOYED POPULATION This includes: i) ii) all persons 15 years of age and over who worked for pay any time during the reference week or who worked without pay for at least one hour in a family- operated enterprise.

Persons who were temporarily absent from their regular jobs because of vacation, illness, inclement weather, or similar reasons.
THE UNEMPLOYED POPULATION The unemployed population incorporates persons 15 years of age and over who did not work or have a job from which they were temporarily absent during the reference week, but were actively looking for work in the four weeks prior to the survey week and were able and willing to work.

Persons who did not look for work because they were on layoff or waiting to start a new job within the following 30 days were also counted among the unemployed.
THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE Represents the number of persons unemployed as a percentage of the labour force.

THE LABOUR FORCE PARTICIPATION RATE The percentage of the population 15 years of age and over that is in the labour force (people who work or are looking for work).

EMPLOYMENT STATUS Classifies persons as follows: i) ii) iii) iv) Government Employees- individuals who work for a government department or corporation.

Private Employees- individuals who work for a private business.
Self-Employed Persons – persons who operate their own business, with or without paid help.

Unpaid Family Workers- persons who work in family enterprises, without pay, for at least one hour during the reference week.

88 OCCUPATION This refers to the type of work actually performed by individuals.

Classification is according to the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO).
INDUSTRY The industry in which individuals are classified relates to the main type of economic activity carried on by the firms or business in which they are employed.

Classification is based on the International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC).

PART-TIME WORKERS For the purposes of the survey, part-time workers were determined subjectively (an individual’s own assessment).
To obtain this information employed persons were asked, “Do you work full- time or part-time?” DISCOURAGED WORKERS These are persons who may or may not have worked before, are able and willing to work, but are not actively seeking work because they believe they would not find work.

Because they were not seeking work during the four weeks preceding the date of enumeration they were not counted among the unemployed and are therefore, not a part of the labour force.
