The Namibia Labour Force Survey (NLFS) is a household-based sample survey. Namibia's first Labour Force Survey was conducted in 1997, and the survey has been conducted every 4 years since then, by the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare (MoLSW). The NLFS 2012 is the first Labour Force Survey conducted by the new Namibia Statistics Agency, established as an autonomous National Statistics Office in 2011. The NLFS 2012 collected labour market data on people aged 15 years and above for the week prior to the survey week (16-27 October 2012).
