The PLUS (Participation, Labor, Unemployment, Survey) is a recurring national sample survey. Created in 2005, it has also been in the National Statistical Plan since 2006. It aims to analyse certain target groups in the context of work, including women, young people, people over 50 and others. In particular, the research aims to study specific aspects of the labour market, such as young people’s entry into the market, the extension in length of employment of the population in older age groups, participation of the female population, and job search patterns. The survey also aims to detect the labour characteristics of employed people and changes in employment status and needs as a result of the health emergency. The main features of the survey are: the absence of proxy respondents, i.e., the answers are provided directly and exclusively by the respondent; the presence of questionnaire modules dedicated to each contractual case with specific questions administered selectively; the possibility of analysing these indicators in conjunction with unavailable variables such as income (from work and family), education and family background of individuals, services in the area, health, etc.; the fact that the survey is designed to provide a comprehensive survey of the population and in particular all employed persons; the complete coverage of the population and in particular of all employed people; the longitudinal structure of the survey, where the panel follows a classic, non-rotational longitudinal design, which allows for flow analyses between different conditions (not only employment) thus enabling the analysis of individual “work histories.”
