29 Nov 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 in urban areas 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 July to September 2023 – is the twentieth publication in the PLFS series. The survey for this quarter covered 170,004 individuals from 44,738 households in 5,706 urban frame survey (UFS) blocks across the country. The sample included 86,297 men and 83,703 women. Additionally, the report provides data from the four preceding quarters: April-June 2023, January-March 2023, October-December 2022, and July-September 2022.The 63-page document contains three sections: Introduction (Section 1); Key findings (Section 2); and Sample Size (Section 3).
