Abstract :This paper offers a summary of the evolution of the Household Labor Force Survey (HLFS) and is intended to serve as an informed guide to users of micro-data drawn from it. HLFS has an address-based sample frame suitable for studying the non-institutional population. Major revisions to the sampling frame and the survey instrument are discussed and their implications for empirical work are addressed. Challenges ushered in by the choice of the non-institutional population as the target are underscored. Since 2000 the data-collection effort has been based on a rotating sample frame which involves up to four visits to the same address. This ushers in attrition problems, but it also produces short panels that offer additional opportunities for research on labor market dynamics that can inform and guide economic policies. The short panel components of the HLFS are currently beyond the reach of micro-data users because of TurkStat’s data dissemination policy.Keywords : hanehalkı anketi, kurumsal olmayan nüfus, dönen örnek çerçevesi, kısa panel, cevapsızlık, kayıpranma, tersine kayıpranma, göz ardı edilememe, seçimlilik, ağırlıklandırma
