15 15  2. In order to fulfil the above objectives the programme of statistics of the [[economically active population>>doc:working:Glossary.Economically Active Population.WebHome]] should in principle cover all branches of economic activity, all sectors of the economy and all status groups ([[employees>>doc:working:Glossary.Employees.WebHome]], own-account workers, etc.) and should be developed to the fullest extent possible in harmony with other economic and social statistics. The programme should specifically provide for both short-term and longer-term needs, i.e. statistics for current purposes compiled frequently on a recurrent basis and statistics compiled at longer intervals for structural in-depth analysis and as benchmark data:

17 17  * (a) the current statistics programme should encompass statistics of the currently active population and its components in such a way that trends and seasonal variations can be adequately monitored. As a minimum programme, countries should collect and compile statistics on the currently active population twice a year, if possible coinciding with the agricultural peak and slack seasons wherever considered appropriate;
18 -* (b) the non-current statistics programme which may include censuses and surveys should provide {{{(i)}}} comprehensive data on the [[economically active population>>doc:working:Glossary.Economically Active Population.WebHome]], (ii) in-depth statistics on the activity pattern of the [[economically active population>>doc:working:Glossary.Economically Active Population.WebHome]] over the year and the relationships between employment, income and other social and economic characteristics, and (iii) data on other particular topics (e.g. children and youth, women, households) as determined by the long-term and continuing needs.

Population censuses and sample surveys of households or individuals generally constitute a comprehensive means of collection of data on the [[economically active population>>doc:working:Glossary.Economically Active Population.WebHome]] which can be linked with data on other related topics. Establishment surveys and administrative records may also serve as sources for obtaining in some cases more precise, more frequent and more detailed statistics on particular components of the [[economically active population>>doc:working:Glossary.Economically Active Population.WebHome]]. The different sources of information should be regarded as complementary and may be used in combination for deriving where necessary integrated sets of statistics. In designing population censuses, surveys of households or individuals or other means of data collection on the [[economically active population>>doc:working:Glossary.Economically Active Population.WebHome]], efforts should be made in so far as possible to incorporate the international standards.
