Spring 2026 Labour Force Survey and Quality of Life Survey Underway

Fieldwork for the Spring 2026 Labour Force Survey (LFS) and Quality of Life Survey (QLS) conducted by the Economics and Statistics Office (ESO) began on Sunday, 26 April 2026. The LFS seeks to collect data on employed and unemployed persons in the Cayman Islands, as well as those who are not in the labour force.

The QLS seeks to gather information on life satisfaction, sense of well-being, financial security, economic outlook, social inclusion, sense of belonging to the local community, and perceived health.

Trained interviewers with ESO identification cards will administer the survey to approximately 2,000 randomly selected households.

The ESO thanks the households who have already participated in previous surveys and is once again seeking support for the Spring 2026 surveys.

The data collected is kept in the strictest confidence as mandated by the Statistics Act (2016 Revision). Individual data will not be published or used outside the ESO and is exempt from Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.

For further information on any aspect of the surveys or results of previous surveys, contact the Economics & Statistics Office at 516-3329, 949-0940, or visit www.eso.ky.
