4,000 Aruba households selected for labor market survey

ORANJESTAD — Between October 31 and November 28, 2026, the Department of Labor and Research (DAO), Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) and Central Bank of Aruba are conducting a labor market survey covering 4,000 households across the island.

Over four weeks, 25 interviewers will visit selected homes between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. to collect information on employment, unemployment, education levels and labor force participation.

The survey includes everyone aged 15 and older, including students and retirees. A new topic this year is the balance between work, leisure and family life.

Responses will be collected digitally and processed anonymously. The results will help the government and other sectors develop labor market policies.

DAO emphasizes that interviewers must present an official identification badge. Residents are not required to provide information if an interviewer cannot show one.
