10.6. Documentation on methodology | |||
Important aspects and procedures of quality management within statistical production process as well as methodology are documented in the so-called technical projects, event. instructions for surveyors that are available for every statistics produced. Technical projects in general contain description of the primary input data, data sources, definition of population, sampling procedure, processing technology, requirements for data transfer, control relations and checks, automatic corrections, derived indicators, definition of organization responsibilities, description of controls and relations, methodology of imputations, definition of outputs, description of input, source and user databases, backups, schedules of project and program preparation, schedules of preliminary and final processing, etc. In the CZSO there is a process of technical project preparation that is coordinated by the Department for Methodology of Performing Statistical Processing. For these purposes every year the so-called Schedule of technical preparation of statistical surveys is discussed in the advisory bodies of the President, where activities, terms and responsible units are specified. The documentation mentioned above is of internal nature and therefore is not publicly available. General public can access methodological notes attached to individual outputs. Annexes: Methodology |
|||
10.7. Quality management - documentation | |||
The whole process of data production is driven by internal documentation (Technical project and the Statistica Metadata System) to which all interested parties have an access (see also the point 11.1). |
|
|||

Overall assessment: |
|||
13.2. Sampling error | |||
Sampling error is not regularly measured. |
|||
13.3. Non-sampling error | |||
The main problems related to non-sampling errors are the following: |
|
|||
14.1. Timeliness | |||
Data are released simultaneously to all interested parties by issuing the publication tables 65 days after the end of the reference quarter. Exact days (see the Release Calendar) take into account the distribution of working days in particular period. |

|
|||

There are a few specifities of the Czech labour market that could lead to minor discrepancies when the comparability of data between countries is concerned, namely: |
|||
15.2. Comparability - over time | |||
The relevant time series are available from the first quarter of 2000, they are comparable over time. |
|||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | |||
As basically all labour market data surveyed among businesses are based on the same administratrive sources and the same estimation methods, methodological coherence especially between quarterly (STS) and annual (SBS) outputs is secured. The regular coherence checks are taken for granted. |
|||
15.4. Coherence - internal | |||
There are no problems regarding internal consistence of the time series in question. |
