The purpose of the survey is to obtain detailed information of firms in the services sector for the compilation of business and economic indicators to monitor the performance of services industries. The data are also used as inputs for the compilation of national accounts, input-output tables and balance of payments. These statistics are used extensively by the government, business community and academicians in their policy-making, business planning and research. Legal Authority The survey was conducted under the Statistics Act (Chapter 317), which made the submission of returns mandatory. Individual returns received would be kept in confidence in accordance with the Statistics Act. The coverage included all establishments and statutory boards engaged in information and communications (Info & Comm) services. Please refer to Appendix I for the list of activities covered. Government ministries and departments were outside the scope of the survey. Operations by persons or organisations not registered with the Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) or Registry of Societies were also excluded. Sample Selection The sampling frame was based on the list of 'live' establishments obtained from the Department's Commercial Establishment Information System (CEIS). Information in the CEIS is regularly updated through simple postal surveys of newly registered companies, businesses and societies, and through extracting relevant information from administrative and other sources such as ACRA, newspaper advertisements, Registry of Societies, various business and trade associations and business and telephone directories. The sampling method for the survey was based on stratified random sampling. All establishments in the sampling frame were first stratified by activity and within each activity, establishments were stratified by operating receipts into three size strata (large, medium and small). All establishments in the large size stratum were selected with certainty whereas the firms in the medium and small size strata were selected using simple random sampling without replacement. The Lavallée and Hidiroglou method was used to determine the size stratum boundaries and sample sizes that minimize the total sample size required to achieve the target level of precision of estimation.","PeriodicalId":160673,"journal":{"name":"Research Handbook on Labour, Business and Human Rights Law","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127877987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
