Resumen
The study of the labour market has always had a special interest in society, both economically and socially. In Spain, there are different sources of information that allow us to approach and measure this reality. Statistics based on surveys are available, such as the Labour Force Survey (LFS) - carried out by the National Statistics Institute of Spain (INE) -; and others using administrative data, such as those based on the social security affiliation register and the unemployed persons registered in public employment services, provided by the Ministry of Employment and Social Security. Therefore it is interesting to study the coherence among these sources of information as an aspect of improving the quality of statistics. Under the framework of the High Council on Statistics the working group of Short-Term Labour Market Statistics draws up periodically a report with the aim of analyzing and comparing the data provided by the LFS and those provided by the Ministry of Employment, using for that purpose, a harmonized methodology. In addition, a series of short-term analyses are also carried out to study the coherence between them from the point of view of the final published data. This project allows, on the one hand, to compare, study and review methodological differences, and on the other to analyze the information that users receive from different sources of information.
