The calculation of the annual growth rate of GDP volume is intended to allow comparisons of the dynamics of economic development both over time and between economies of different sizes. For measuring the growth rate of GDP in terms of volumes, the GDP at current prices are valued in the prices of the previous year and the thus computed volume changes are imposed on the level of a reference year; this is called a chain-linked series. Accordingly, price movements will not inflate the growth rate. www.cpessec.org 20

II. SURVEY DATA SOURCES LABOUR FORCE SURVEY Labour Force Survey is a research conducted to gather data on major characteristics of the working-age population, based on which the estimate of the overall labour force in the country is made, together with data on demographics, education, socio-economic standing and other characteristics of the population. The main goal of this research is to obtain data on three major, mutually exclusive categories of the population: the employed, the unemployed and the inactive. Methodological principles behind the Survey are based on the recommendations and definitions of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the requirements of the European Statistical Office (EUROSTAT), which set the standards for the international comparability of data in the area of labour statistics. The Survey is intended to measure economic activity of the population in a short observation period comprising one week, which is called the reference week. Working-age population includes all persons aged 15 and over, divided in two major categories: labour force (economically active) and economically inactive population. Labour force or economically active population is comprised of the employed and the unemployed. The employed are persons aged 15 and over who worked during the reference week for at least one hour for a salary or a wage, nothwithstanding their formal status, or did not work but had a job to return to.
