New Data: Japan subnational - LFS (Q) - Addendum
Thursday, 06 Sep 2018 08:55 ET
By Megan Hilaman
Summary
May 2018 -- Data Buffet now carries labor force status detail by region of Japan (1,227 new quarterly series from 1983).
Detail

Dataset properties:

  • Activity classification: JSIC 12
  • Population basis: Benchmarked to five-year population census, or intercensal adjustment
  • Measurement: 10 thousand persons (10 Ths. #) or percentage (%)
  • Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted (SA) or not (NSA)
  • Geo coverage: Country and 12 regions (IJPN_^^^^)
  • Native frequency: Quarterly
  • Start date: As early as 1983Q1

The source reports labor data in two ways, and we have reorganized the catalog to reflect this:

  • Benchmarked to the five-year population census (currently, 2015)
  • Adjusted between censuses (intercensal 2010 to 2015)

The series reside in the historical catalog:

  • (Japan » Labor and Wages » Intercensal adjustment (2010 and 2015 Census) » Labor force status » Quarterly)
  • (Japan » Labor and Wages » 2015 Census » Labor market dynamics » Labor force status » Quarterly)

They include, for example:

  • LWQWPTCUQ.IJPN_KYOK  = Population - Ages 15 and older, (10 Ths. #, NSA) - Intercensal-level adjustment 2010 and 2015 - for Kyushu, Okinawa [region]
  • LW%PRTUQ.IJPN        = Labor force status: Labor force participation rate, (%, NSA) - for Japan
  • LWQFWTUQ.IJPN_HOKK   = Family worker, (10 Ths. #, NSA) - for Hokkaido [region]
  • LWQEMCNTUQ.IJPN_SHIK = Employment - Construction, (10 Ths. #, NSA) - for Shikoku [region]

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.
