ANNEXED NOTE
 
1. Characteristics of data, definitions and population counting operations in the UAE

Since 2016, the UAE Federal Competitiveness and Statistitics Authority (FCSA) (formerly National Bureau of Statistics)
resumed the implementation of Labour Force Surveys. The last one was conducted in 2009.
No metadata and methodological indications for the current Labour Force Survey are available.
No numeric figures are available.
Methodology and questionnaire for LFS 2009: http://methods.fcsa.gov.ae/Forms/SurveyQuestMeth/SurveyQuest.aspx
According to informations received by GLMM, the sampling base of the LFS could be family budget surveys, which in turn are based on the 2005 census,
with minor modifications.  Results of LFS conducted at the national level, therefore, may be taken with caution.
