The National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas) is one of the important sources of employment data in Indonesia. Data from Sakernas results are widely used by various groups, both at home and abroad. Therefore, the sustainability, availability, and quality of Sakernas data must be maintained and improved.

In August 2020, the questionnaire was refined, namely adjusting the “new normal” conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The main changes to the questionnaire included the use of the concept of employment according to the ICLS 13 concept, the addition of questions related to the impact of Covid-19 on employment based on ILO recommendations, simplifying the questionnaire and grouping questions according to each topic.

In the Sakernas February 2021, the questionnaire used in general still refers to the August 2020 Sakernas questionnaire, however, improvements were made and added several questions. These changes include:

1. Adding enumeration status to the front page.

2. Adding questions regarding the current working hours and usually working hours before Covid-19.

3. Adding questions for work experience, namely job status, job field and type of work.

4. Use of the 2020 Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (KBLI).

5. Changes in the order of the pre-work card program questions placed at the end of the questionnaire.

PURPOSE

In general, the purpose of collecting data on the National Labor Day for February 2021 is to provide basic data on sustainable manpower. In particular, Sakernas aims to obtain estimates of data on the number of working population, the number of unemployed, other employment indicators, as well as representative developments at the national and provincial levels. In addition, the February 2021 Sakernas also has a special purpose to gather information related to the impact of Covid-19 on employment in Indonesia.
