The sampling weights distributed with the 2001 and 2002 rounds of the LFS were based on the 1996 census, and yield a significantly different demographic distribution than that of the more nearly contemporaneous 2001 census. This inconsistency is troublesome, as the estimated domestic worker employment totals are quite sensitive to the demographic weights. The 2001 census, however, is believed to have misrepresented some key demographic proportions, including the proportion of the population who are women of working age, an obvious correlate of domestic worker status. Furthermore, the population growth rate used to extrapolate from 1996 to later years turned out to be almost twice as large as the actual growth rate, due to an initial failure to account for the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
