The
Agency runs the National Integrated Survey Program on annual basis
and this operation involves quite substantial number of professional
staff (Statisticians, Economists, Demographers, Mathematicians,
Computer programmers, etc). There are also semi professionals
that include statistical technicians, data editors and coders,
data entry operators, field supervisors, enumerators and other
supporting staff. The Agency also occasionally undertakes an ad-hoc
survey that requires specialized personnel like only female enumerators,
supervisors, field editors, etc. In such cases the office hires
the field staff on temporary basis for the survey period and lays
them off as soon as the field work of the survey in question is
completed.
This time, the Agency has a total of 3,400 employees
out of which about 1,400 of them are permanent and the remaining
2,000 are working on contract basis. Among the employees working
in the Agency, about 10 percent of the employees constitute
professionals from various disciplines, more than 50 percent
are sub-professionals (mainly statistical technicians, data
editors and coders, data entry clerks, field supervisors and
enumerators) and the remaining are supporting staffs (administrative,
personnel, finance, mechanics, drivers, etc).
