THE PRESIDENCY OF STATE INSTITUTE OF STATISTICS ANNOUNCED THE ANNUAL PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF 2003 HOUSEHOLD LABOUR FORCE SURVEY D The total employment was 21 million 147 thousand persons and the total unemployment was 2 million 493 thousand persons according to the annual preliminary results of the 2003 Household Labour Force Survey, which was adapted by International Labour Organization s (ILO) definitions (1). In the year 2003, the unemployment rate was estimated to be 10.5% and the highest unemployment rate was in Southeast Anatolia Region with 21.6% according to the annual preliminary results of the 2003 Household Labour Force Survey. The annual results of 2003 Household Labour Force Survey which is the basic indicator for analyzing the labour market, are examined according to the basic indicators, the following results emerged in labour market. I) IMPROVEMENTS ON THE BASIC INDICATORS OF THE YEARS 2002 & 2003 Non -institutional Civilian PopulationKurumsal Olmayan Sivi According to the results of 2003 Household Labour Force Survey (HLFS), non-institutional civilian population in Turkey reached to 69 million 479 thousand persons with an increase of 1 million 86 thousand persons compared to the results of the previous year. When this number was examined by urban and rural areas, an increase of 1 million 82 thousand persons in urban areas (42 million 135 thousand persons) and an increase of 4 thousand persons in rural areas (27 million 344 thousand persons) were emerged. According to the results of 2002 Household Labour Force Survey, 60% of the non-institutional civilian population was residing in urban areas. In the year 2003, this rate increased to 60.6% (Tables 1, 2, 3). Labour Force Participation Rate
In the year 2002, the labour force participation rate (LFPR) was estimated to be 49.6 % for Turkey. This rate decreased to 48.3% in 2003. When the LFPR was examined by sex, it decreased from 71.6% to 70.4% for male, and decreased from 27.9% to 26.6% for female. When 2003 labour force participation rate was compared with previous year, it decreased from 44.4% to 43.8% for urban areas, decreased from 57.6% to 55.5% for rural areas. In the year 2003, the annual labour force participation rate was estimated to be 48.3% for Turkey Employment In year 2003, total employment decreased 207 thousand persons for Turkey, and 383 thousand persons for rural areas and it increased 176 thousand persons for urban areas according to the results of the previous year. The number of employed persons decreased 293 thousand persons in agriculture sector and decreased 108 thousand persons in manufacturing sector for Turkey. Manufacturing sector employment increased for urban areas, while it was decreasing in rural areas. In other words, agricultural employment narrowed by 3.9% and manufacturing sector employment narrowed by 2.7%. However total employment in construction sector increased by 0.7% and by 2.4% in services sector. When this value was compared with the results of 2002, the employment rate decreased from 44.4% to 43.2% for Turkey, from 63.9% to 62.9% for male, from 25.3% to 23.9% for female. In the year 2003, the annual employment rate was estimated to be 43.2 % for Turkey. Unemployment In 2003, the number of unemployed persons was estimated to be 2 million 493 thousand persons with an increase of 29 thousand persons (1.2%) when compared to the results of the previous year. When the number of unemployed persons decreased in urban areas, it increased in rural. This number decreased by 2.2% for urban areas and it increased by 11.1% for rural areas.
In the year 2003, the unemployment rate increased from 10.3% to 10.5% for Turkey, from 9.4% to 10.1% for female and this rate was 10.7% for male without any changes, when compared with the results of the previous year. In the year 2003, the total unemployment rate was 15% for non-agricultural sector without any changes, when compared to the results of the previous year.

In the year 2003, 17.2% of total unemployed persons (429 thousand persons) comprised from persons loosed their job and 19.3% of those (480 thousand persons) were the first time job seekers. This figures was 20.2% (498 thousand persons) and 20.8%(513 thousand persons) respectively in the previous year. When the number of unemployed persons loosed their job and the first time job seekers decreased in 2003, the share of them in total unemployment also decreased. In year 2002, the unemployment rate of educated young people was 29.1%. This rate decreased 27.8% in year 2003. When the unemployed persons was examined by educational status, the share of persons less than high school graduates and un-educated people in unemployed persons increased from 62.6% to 65%, the share of persons completed high school in unemployed persons decreased from 26.5% to 23.3%.

GEOGRAPHICAL REGION
GENERAL EXPLANATION ON HOUSEHOLD LABOUR FORCE SURVEY History Since the first five-year development plan, information on the economically active population and its components, although on a limited basis, had been periodically collected in Turkey through population census, which were conducted every five years. Since 1966, additional data had been obtained on the basis of labour force survey between the census years. However, data gathered with the labour force survey, remained fragmentary and could not be easily compared across time because of differences in questionnaire, geographical coverage, definitions and concepts until the end of year 1985. In 1988, the survey was re-designed to measure labour force improvement through time and to supply international comparability of data, using the latest international standards (ILO, Thirteenth International Conference of Labour Statisticians, 1982) concerning statistics on the economically active population, employment, unemployment and underemployment. The aims of Household Labour Force Surveys are preparing the questionnaire and the tabulation plan to view labour market in different aspects, ending the concepts chaos in labour market and constructing the definitions to collect figures, which are internationally comparable. For this reason the basic concepts and definitions accepted in the Thirteenth International Conference of Labour Statisticians have been used in the Household Labour Force Surveys which had been conducted since October 1988. In this series, the last week of April and October starting with Monday and ending with Sunday was taken as the reference week and survey was applied in the fifteen days following the reference week. The results of the surveys have been published by Turkey, urban and rural areas. While the total of 11,160 sample households were interviewed with the method of substitution in each application of HLFS from October 1988 to April 1994, the sample design was changed in the October 1994 HLFS application. Beginning with this application, substitution method was given up and the number of sample household was increased to about 15 000.
In 1999, the survey was evaluated and re-designed in the meeting with the participation of national and international experts. In this direction, in the year 2000, application frequency, sample size, estimation dimension, questionnaire and some other aspects of HLFS were changed. These changes were made taking into account the need of making comparisons with the existent series. It is aimed to increase the sensibility of estimations of the survey with the new design. The sampling size was increased to 23 000 household and was used firstly in October 1999 HLFS application. Since the year 2000, the sampling size has been about 23 000 household in period. Selected households are visited four times within the sixteen months with the new sampling design. Consequently, it would be possible to observe activities of household members in time and to measure effects of economic developments on household members. For this aim, some questions were added to the HLFS questionnaire. Another change in the questionnaire was about informal sector employment. The share of employed persons in informal sector to total employment is increasing in Turkey. Questions about domestic workers, legal status of workplace, and type of taxation were added to the HLFS questionnaire in order to determine regular information on informal sector. In addition, a question about time for seeking job by using any active method which is one of the unemployment criteria was added to the questionnaire in order to calculate the number of alternative unemployed. Since the year 2000, the fixed reference period was given up and the seven days preceding the application day of the HLFS have been used as the reference period. In the new series, the field application of the survey is initiated on the 8th day of each month. Another change in the new series was about the age criterion used in the survey results. From the beginning of the year 2000, the results of the survey have been given for the population 15 years old and over instead of 12 years old and over. In addition, since 2000, the economic activities of employed persons and persons who had worked before, have been classified according to the International Standard Industry Classification 1990, Rev.3 and since 2001 the occupations of them have been classified according to the International Standard Classification of Occupation 1988 (For more information see 2001 Household Labour Force Survey Concepts and Methods, SIS ).
Weighting Up to 1990, 1985-1990 General Population Census results, for 1991 and after 1990 General Population Census and 1997 Population Count results, were used for weighting of HLFS results. The necessity of the revision of HLFS results according to the 1990-2000 population projection has been inevitable because of the detailed results of 2000 General Population Census have been available and also there are important differences between the results of 2000 General Population Census and 1997 Population Count by the detail of age and rural-urban distribution. Another reason of differences in total population is being used the different hypothesis in population projections. The most important difference emerged in the rural population when used projections based on 2000 General Population Census results. In this press release, 2001-2002 revised results are given. It has been considered that the revised results of HLFS should be used after now on. Because 1997 Population Count was not a census and just applied for the purpose of election, it has some disadvantages. Moreover 2000 General Population Census gives the most current results and reflects the demographic structure of Turkey in a better way. The revised results of HLFS belong to 1991-2000 period will not be published, but it would be possible to reach these results through Household Labour Force Database existing in the SIS web site. The new sample design of HLFS has been designed to give estimations on the level of Turkey, urban, rural, seven geographic regions, (total, urban, rural) and selected nine province centers (Adana, Ankara, Antalya, Bursa, Erzurum, Gaziantep, İstanbul, İzmir, Samsun). According to this design, the annual data set was consisted by combining the data set of four rounds. The yearly estimation results of HLFS were re-weighted by using mid-year population Projections. Sample size and non-response rate According to the press release of 2002 HLFS, the estimation results were given for Turkey, urban, rural seven geographic regions and selected nine province center because of the sufficient sample size. A total of 96 802 sample households, 75 495 of which from about 163 urban areas and 21 307 of which from about 289 rural areas were used in the data set of 2003. 78 174 households were interviewed and for 18 628 households non response forms were filled in due to the reasons like rejection, not being at home, lack of communication etc.
In the year 2003, the annual non-response rate was 7.2% in rural areas, 12.4% in urban areas, and 11.2% for whole Turkey.
CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS In a defined time period (reference period) population above the certain age are composed of three basic groups in terms of labour force; employed, unemployed and not in labour force. Labour force is made up of employed and unemployed persons. These are summarised as follows; WORKING AGE POPULATION = LABOUR FORCE + NOT IN LABOUR FORCE LABOUR FORCE = EMPLOYED + UNEMPLOYED HOUSEHOLD: One person or group of persons with or without a family relationship who live in the same house or in the same part of the house, who share their meals, earnings and expenditures and who take part in the management of the household and who render services to the household.
