The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a quarterly household survey conducted by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) that measures the labour market characteristics of Rwanda's working-age population. Key indicators include the unemployment rate, labour force participation rate, employment-to-population ratio, and working poverty rate, disaggregated by sex (male, female, total) and area (urban, rural, national). The survey has been conducted quarterly since 2017.
