The indicator was calculated by the OECD using data from the European Union Labour Force Survey (LFS: EU), the Permanent Household Survey (EPH: ARG), the Australian Labour Force Survey (AUS), the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey (HILDA: AUS), Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de DomicĂlios (PNAD: BRA), the Canadian Labour Force Survey (CAN) the Socio-Economic Characterization Survey (CASEN: CHL), the National Survey of Occupation and Employment (ENOE: MEX), the New Zealand Labour Force Survey (NZL), the New Zealand Income Survey (NZL), Encuesta Nacional de Hogares (ENAHO: PER), the Turkish Labour Force Survey (TUR), the Current Population Survey (CPS: USA), the South African Labour Force Survey.
