Abstract
Initiated in 2003, the BITS is a modular survey that integrates the data requirements on employment, industrial relations, occupational injuries and diseases and labor cost that used to be collected by the BLES through independent surveys such as Survey on Specific Groups of Workers (SSGW), Employment, Hours and Earnings Survey (EHES), Industrial Relations at the Workplace Survey (IRWS), Occupational Injuries Survey (OIS) and Labor Cost Survey (LCS). Starting 2012 round, the survey covers establishments both in the agricultural and non-agricultural industries with 20 or more workers. Each round of the BITS covers different aspects of employment and establishments practices. The inquiry on occupational injuries and diseases is a regular feature while that on labor cost is undertaken on a less frequent basis.The main objective of this survey is to generate an integrated data set on employment of specific groups of workers, occupational shortages and surpluses, training of workers, recruitment and hiring practices for entry-level jobs, occupational safety and health practices, employees' compensation program and occupational injuries and diseases. These data are inputs to studies on industry trends and practices and serve as bases for the formulation of policies on employment, conditions of work and industrial relations. To some extent, the survey results will also be used to assess the progress of decent work in the country.
