Consultative engagement objectives
Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey (LFS) Supplements Program is a series of non-mandatory surveys that compliment the core LFS questionnaire. The Supplements Program fills data gaps on quality of employment and other emerging labour market topics, with a particular focus on highlighting the labour market situation of diverse groups. It builds on the rotational design of the LFS - where respondents are invited to participate in the survey for six consecutive months - by posing questions among a subset of respondents. To minimize response burden, the supplements are not collected among those who are in their first month of participation in the LFS. The supplement program was launched in January 2022 and has since collected valuable data on a range of labour market indicators, such as the location of remote workers and digital platform employment.
Statistics Canada invites stakeholders and LFS users to provide feedback on the LFS Supplements Program. Feedback will be used to evaluate potential adjustments to data collection intervals and/or topics covered in the program.
