Deviations from the Sample Design
All industrial establishments with 5 or more persons engaged is the target population of ASI. The list of industries with 5 or more persons as in the Census of Industry - 1983 was the frame ( sample population ) of ASI.
The whole frame was divided into two sectors as establishments with 25 or more persons engaged and establishments with 5-24 persons engaged. All establishments in the 25 or more sector ( census part ) and probability sample of 5 to 24 sector (survey part ) were canvassed. The census part of the frame updated from time to time and the survey part remained unchanged.
The survey part was further stratified according to the geographical locations, industrial activity and size. Geographical strata were 24 administrative districts. Industrial activities were defined as the industry group levels 4 digit level of ISIC. The persons engaged size classes which were defined as 5-9, 10-14 and 15-24 persons engaged were used as the size strata.
There were approximately 2500 establishments in the census part and approximately another 2500 were selected for the sample out of about 12000 industries. Higher probabilities were given to select rare industries. The sample was selected systematically within the strata.

The non responses of the sample were automatically imputed when applying weights. The other establishments were imputed using previous year's information whenever available or, otherwise using the either district or province averages of the category which the establishment belongs.
