The difficulties faced by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) in concluding the works of the 2022 Demographic Census made the agency postpone at least three releases of the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (Continuous PNAD), which portrays the situation of the labor market in the country.
The dates of the next three releases of the survey were postponed by up to one month each.
“Due to the creation of a task force that is using the collection structure of the State Superintendencies to collect the 2022 Demographic Census, there was an extension of the deadline for closing the interview database”, justified the IBGE, in a note.
The release of the monthly Continuous PNAD for the moving quarter ended in November was postponed from December 28, 2022 to January 19, 2023.
The monthly issue for the rolling quarter ending in December has been moved from January 31, 2023 to February 28.
The release of the quarterly Continuous Pnad, which brings regional labor market data for the fourth quarter of 2022, was moved from February 15 to February 28 of next year.
The IBGE informed last week that it would need to extend the collection of the 2022 Demographic Census again, given the difficulty in hiring census takers.
With further delays in the field, the deadline was extended from December to at least the end of January. The information gathering work, which began on August 1st, was initially expected to last until the end of October.
