Some methodological issues using labour force survey data for mobility research

The paper discusses the use of Labour Force Survey (LFS) data in mobility research. Design, conceptual, statistical, and other issues are addressed. Mobility figures emanating from Icelandic LFS and tax register data are then compared. These aspects of LFS data are of interest because they illuminat...
