In use since 1992, the above approach allows the classification to be unaffected by the respondents’ subjective feelings. Since 2006, LFS respondents have been also allowed to identify their economic activity status by themselves. The objective of this paper is to indicate and attempt to explain the differences between the results based on the identification of economic activity statuses as per the criteria adopted by the Central Statistical Office and the LFS respondents’ own assessment of their economic activity status. This paper assessed the rationale behind each approach and the implications thereof for the procedure and results of unemployment surveys from a static and dynamic perspective}, title={Criteria used in the LFS to identify the population’s economic activity status vs. the respondents’ subjective views: implications for unemployment research}, type={artykuł}, keywords={Labour Force Survey (LFS), unemployment, economic activity, inflow/outflow analysis, BAEL, bezrobocie, aktywność zawodowa, metoda przepływów na rynku pracy}, }
