The aim of this article is to analyse the possibility of applying selected perturbative masking methods of Statistical Disclosure Control to microdata, i.e. unit‑level data from the Labour Force Survey. In the first step, the author assessed to what extent the confidentiality of information was protected in the original dataset. In the second step, after applying selected methods implemented in the sdcMicro package in the R programme, the impact of those methods on the disclosure risk, the loss of information and the quality of estimation of population quantities was assessed. The conclusion highlights some problematic aspects of the use of Statistical Disclosure Control methods which were observed during the conducted analysis.

Celem artykułu jest analiza możliwości wykorzystania wybranych zakłóceniowych metod kontroli ujawniania mikrodanych na przykładzie danych jednostkowych z Badania Aktywności Ekonomicznej Ludności. W pierwszym etapie oceniona została ochrona poufności informacji w oryginalnym zbiorze danych. Po zaaplikowaniu wybranych metod, zaimplementowanych w pakiecie sdcMicro programu R, przedmiotem dociekań stał się wpływ tych metod na ryzyko ujawnienia, poniesioną stratę informacji, a także na jakość estymacji określonych wielkości dla populacji. Podkreślone zostały pewne problematyczne aspekty praktycznego wykorzystania kontroli ujawniania danych, zaobserwowane podczas przeprowadzonej analizy.
