This will increase the chance of variances from the actual values obtained from comprehensive enumeration. The variances of the key indicators in the survey were computed and disseminated on Palestine as a whole for reasons related to sample design and the computation of the variances of the main indicators (number of employed persons, intermediate consumption, output, gross value added, and compensations of employees).\n\nNon-sampling Errors\nThese types of errors could appear in one or in all of the survey stages.
