Dear sir or madam, I would like to ask if there is any way I can access the monthly microdata for the Economically Active Population Survey (preferably in STATA format and in English). I would like the monthly survey waves from January 1998 to the latest survey wave currently available. The only resources available on KOSTAT on the Economically Active Population Survey are the press releases. I could not find any other information in your database on datasets for the Economically Active Population Survey. If you do not provide the data, is there anyone I can perhaps contact to obtain the data? Thank you very much in advance for your help. Ui Yoshida

Dear Ui Yoshida, Thank you for visiting the KOSIS website. The Microdata Service Division of Statistics Korea provides microdata through the Micro Integrated Service (MDIS) system (https://mdis.kostat.go.kr/index.do). Basically, microdata are provided only to Koreans. However, Statistics Korea provides microdata to foreigners who reside in Korea and work for universities, research institutes or public agencies in Korea. Microdata are provided only in Korean and not provided in STATA format. In addition, microdata can't be re-disseminated without permission. In the meantime, macrodata of the Economically Active Population Survey can be obtained on the following KOSIS webpage.: KOSIS Home > Statistical Database > Employment/Labor/Wage > Employment > Economically Active Population Survey http://kosis.kr/eng/statisticsList/statisticsListIndex.do?menuId=M_01_01&vwcd=MT_ETITLE&parmTabId=M_01_01&statId=1962002&themaId=#B11.4 Thank you.
