Joblessness was high in April-June 2022 mainly due to the staggering impact of Covid-related restrictions in the country.

The unemployment rate (UR) for persons aged 15 years and above in April-June 2022 was 7.6 per cent in urban areas, the 19th Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) showed.

In January-March 2023, the unemployment rate was 6.8 per cent. It was 7.2 per cent in July-September 2022 as well as October-December 2022.

It also showed that the unemployment rate among females (aged 15 years and above) in urban areas declined to 9.1 per cent in April-June 2023 from 9.5 per cent in the same quarter a year ago.

It was 9.2 per cent in January-March 2023, 9.6 per cent October-December 2022 and 9.4 per cent in July-September 2022.

Among males, the unemployment rate in urban areas dipped to 5.9 per cent in April-June 2023 compared to 7.1 per cent in the same quarter a year ago.

It was 6 per cent in January-March 2023, 6.5 per cent in October-December 2022 and 6.6 per cent in July-September 2022.

Labour force participation rate in CWS (Current Weekly Status) in urban areas for persons aged 15 years and above increased to 48.8 per cent in April-June 2023, from 47.5 per cent in the same period a year ago.

It was 48.5 per cent in January-March 2023, 48.2 per cent in October-December 2022 and 47.9 per cent in July-September 2022.

Labour force refers to the part of the population which supplies or offers to supply labour for pursuing economic activities for the production of goods and services and, therefore, includes both employed and unemployed persons.

The NSSO launched PLFS in April 2017. On the basis of PLFS, a quarterly bulletin is brought out giving estimates of labour force indicators namely unemployment rate, Worker Population Ratio (WPR), Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR), distribution of workers by broad status in employment and industry of work in CWS.

The estimates of unemployed persons in CWS give an average picture of unemployment in a short span of seven days during the survey period. In the CWS approach, a person is considered unemployed if he/she did not work even for one hour on any day during the week but sought or was available for work at least for one hour on any day during the period.

Labour force, according to CWS, is the number of persons either employed or unemployed on average in a week preceding the date of the survey. LFPR is defined as the percentage of the population in the labour force.

The WPR (in per cent) in CWS in urban areas for persons aged 15 years and above stood at 45.5 per cent in April-June 2023, up from  43.9 per cent in the same period a year ago.

It was  45.2 per cent in January-March 2023, 44.7 per cent in October-December 2022 and 44.5 per cent in July-September 2022.

The present quarterly bulletin is the 19th in the series for the quarter April-June 2023.
