Data Change: Chile subnational - LFS - Geos
Thursday, 15 Aug 2019 08:40 ET
By Jason Flynn
Summary
August 2019 -- In September 2017 the Chilean government fissioned one administrative region into two, which impacted the subnational results of the labor force survey (six monthly series 2010 to 2018, replaced by 12 from 2010).
Detail

In response, we have:

  1. Discontinued series for old Bio-Bio region (ICHL_BI) after results for 2018m9.
  2. Created one-for-one replacements for new Bio-Bio region (ICHL_BO). Added "break in geo" notation to their "source" metadata.
  3. Created series for the new Ñuble region (ICHL_NU).

Dataset properties:

  • Measurements: Thousands of persons (Ths. #) or percent (%)
  • Cumulation: Three-month moving average (3-mo MA)
  • Adjustment: Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
  • Geographic coverage: National (1), all administrative regions (16)
  • Native frequency: Monthly 
  • Start dates: Varied

The series reside in the historical catalog (Chile » Labor and wages » Labor force survey » by Status » Not seasonally adjusted) and include, for example:

  • LWQWPT3MUM.ICHL_BI  = [DISCONTINUED] Labor: Working-age population - Both sexes, (Ths. # 3-mo MA, NSA) - for Bío-Bío (old)
  • LWQEMT3MUM.ICHL_BO  = Employed - Both sexes, (Ths. # 3-mo MA, NSA) - for Bío-Bío (new)
  • LW%URNT3MUM.ICHL_NU = Unemployment rate - Both sexes, (%, NSA) - for Ñuble

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
