Abstract

Reweighted Labour Force Survey (LFS) and Annual Population Survey (APS) microdata were published by the Offi ce for National Statistics (ONS) in May 2008. The underlying weighting methodology and the statistical tool used for weighting the LFS were also changed for the reweighting programme and for subsequent LFS weighting (although not for the APS, as this already used the new methodology and tool). This article outlines the background to the LFS and APS reweighting programme, briefl y describes the changes to the weighting tool and methodology in the LFS, and presents some results of the impact of reweighting on population estimates at unitary authority/local authority district
