Labour market information, statistics, analysis and research services

---

Empstat specializes in the application of international standards on labour statistics, specifically those established in the International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS) resolutions. Our data collection services include the design of questionnaires aligned with ICLS standards, sampling design, as well as the cleaning and coding of datasets in compliance with ICLS definitions and quality assurance. Our team also possesses experience in leading qualitative data collection, which encompasses key informant interviews and focus group discussions geared towards insightful labour market analysis across various settings.

In addition to offering data collection services, Empstat provides in-depth analysis of employment statistics and data, including the cleaning of datasets. Our expertise extends to the design and implementation of labour market assessment studies, comprehensive labour market analysis, and detailed labour force survey reports. Our team is well-versed in various thematic areas, such as labour migration, youth, gender, and marginalised groups, and excels in both quantitative and qualitative research and analysis.

Support for monitoring and results measurement (MRM), including logframe design, monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and third-party evaluation at the programme level is essential. This encompasses approaches for full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs and headcount measures of employment, crucial for private sector development and human capital development programmes and interventions. Our data collection services can help adjust for different budgets, programme types, and channels of impact (e.g., direct, indirect, and induced job impacts), providing accurate employment statistics and facilitating effective labour market analysis.

While we specialize in labour market statistics and analysis, our team has extensive experience in various settings related to labour markets, including policy advice and recommendations. This allows us to offer data collection services focused on improving labour market information. Furthermore, we provide policy and strategy services aimed at enhancing employment statistics and job promotion, as long as sufficient data and information are available to ensure an evidence-based approach.
