- It is data and information registered and updated with government agencies related to the labor market and generated through the official electronic registration and documentation processes followed in these agencies, which include all residents of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

First Source: Labor Force Survey (General Authority for Statistics):
- It is a sample household survey conducted by the
General Authority for Statistics every quarter, in which information is
collected on a housing sample from the Saudi Census 2022 and communication
with households in the sample is conducted through computer-assisted
telephone interviews (CATI) and through conducting computer-assisted personal
interviews ( CAPI) , the data is collected from a
sample of 96,000 Dwellings.
- According to the international standards to which the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia adheres, and which are applied in the G-20 countries, Unemployment, employment and labor force participation rates
are estimated through a sample household survey and not through
administrative records data
- Adhering to these standards facilitates the process of international
comparisons between countries in labor market indicators.
The second source (aggregate data from administrative records ):
- It is data and information registered and updated with government
agencies related to the labor market and generated through the official
electronic registration and documentation processes followed in these
agencies, which include all residents of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, General
Organization for Social Insurance, and the Center of national information
periodically provide the General Authority for Statistics with the data
registered with it (data of administrative records are assigned to the last
day of the Gregorian quarter of each year). |
