Toward a major revamp of the system of establishments enquiries / - p.111-128 - Vol. 10 No. 1 First Sem 1983 .

The first part of this paper is devoted to a review of the growth and development of the system of establishment enquiries in the Philippines from the first Annual Survey of Manufacturers which was initiated in 1956 to the present system of quiquennial censuses and intercensal annual and quarterly surveys of establishments covering practically all the nonagricultural sectors of the economy. It then goes into a frank and candid assessment of the present system, identifying the major problems and their underlying causes, and raising relevant issues in the process. The last portion of the paper presents proposals for affecting a major revamp of the system of establishment enquiries, primarily directed to improve the timeliness and quality of establishments statistics generated to make these more responsive to the requirements of planning and policy formulation
