- Coverage 2025'As from the first quarter 2025, labour force, employment and unemployment estimates are published based on population figures revised according to the 2022 population census results' (the Year 2025 release). Every quarter served here is on that basis.
- Coverage 2025Republic of Mauritius: 'All private Mauritian households in the islands of Mauritius and Rodrigues are covered' (Annex 1). The estimates 'refer to the Mauritian population aged 16 years and above' (paragraph 1), so foreign workers are not included: the release adds them only in its annual estimates (Annex 3), which are not loaded. The release does not name Agalega or St Brandon.
- Coverage 2025Sample estimates from the Continuous Multi-Purpose Household Survey (CMPHS), 'subject to sample variability' (paragraph 20). The release publishes standard errors (SE) and coefficients of variation (CV = SE/estimate) for its main estimates, graded high reliability below 7.5%, medium 7.5-15.0% and low above 15.0%. MorisLens loads no standard error or coefficient of variation: see the release.
