Employment in French Polynesia

# Social Security Fund (SPS) data The evolution of the employed labour force can be approached from the salaried employment declared to the general scheme of employees (RGS) of the CPS. An employee may hold several salaried jobs for the same period. The base of salaried jobs is updated monthly. The period of formalization (from 1 to 3 months) of these data depends on the derogations granted by the SPC (Activity of domestic services, employment in remote archipelagos, etc.). The ISPF calculates monthly estimates of salaried employment in the market sector (industry, construction, commerce, hotels and restaurants and services). Different indicators are calculated on the basis of salaried employment reported to the SPC's RGS. This information is presented in the form of annual and monthly tables which can be broken down by major sectors of activity, detailed activities, location of employers (archipelagos and municipalities) and legal forms. They concern staff, salaries, working hours and employers. # Data from the Employment Survey The survey on employment in French Polynesia is carried out annually during the second quarter in the Society archipelago (Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Raiatea and Tahaa) and every three years in each of the other three archipelagos (Marquises, Australes and Tuamotu-Gambier). The statistical timing of the survey makes it ‘representative’ for all of the Society’s islands (excluding atolls) and more distant archipelagos. Judiciously set, the collection is used to infer the results by taking into account the non-questioning of an archipelago over three years, and thus to publish results for the entire statistical field in French Polynesia. Around 97.5% of the working-age population of French Polynesia is thus represented by the survey.
