Permanent Household Survey, Argentina (EPH)
The EPH study captures information regarding unregistered work, as well as all forms of labour not recognized as employment by the population of Argentina. In doing so, the study aims to improve the overall measurement of activity, employment, and unemployment. The sample includes individuals with various employment circumstances, including employed individuals, unpaid workers, those with less than 15 weekly working hours, and those who do not work due to specific labour reasons. The study replaces 25% of the samples in each wave, so that all observation units are fully renewed every four waves.
