Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) Quarterly Bulletin: April-June 2023

9 Oct 2023

The National Statistical Office of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, Government of India, initiated the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) in April 2017. The survey provides estimates for indicators such as the labour force participation rate (LFPR), the worker population ratio (WPR), and includes data on the employment status of workers and the sector (agriculture, secondary or tertiary) they work in. It also supplies data on the unemployment rate (UR) in the country. Data is calculated as per the current weekly status (CWS), that is, “on the basis of a reference period of last seven days preceding the date of survey.” The results of the survey are released in the form of quarterly bulletins, each covering three months of the survey year.This quarterly bulletin – covering the period of April to June 2023 – is the nineteenth publication in the PLFS series. The data collection for this bulletin concluded in June 2023. The survey for this quarter covered 167,916 individuals from 44,190 households in 5,639 urban frame survey (UFS) blocks across the country. The sample included 85,496 men and 82,417 women. Additionally, the report provides data from the four preceding quarters: January-March 2023, October-December 2022, July-September 2022 and April-June 2022.The 64-page report comprises three primary sections: Introduction (Section 1); Key Findings (Section 2); and Sample Size (Section 3).
