- It aims to estimate the key employment and unemployment indicators in the short time interval of three months for the urban areas only
- A person is considered unemployed if he/she did not work even for one day during the preceding week but was available for work under the Current Weekly Status Approach
- It was launched by National Statistical Office(NSO) post 2008 recession crisis
Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution(a)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Incorrect Incorrect The Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) was designed with two major objectives for measurement of employment and unemployment. The first was to measure the dynamics in labour force participation and employment status in the short time interval of three months for only the urban areas in the Current Weekly Status (CWS). Second one was, for both rural and urban areas, to measure the labour force estimates on key parameters in both usual status (ps+ss) and Current Weekly Status. 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. Considering the importance of availability of labour force data at more frequent time intervals, National Statistical Office (NSO) launched Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) in April 2017. Context – India’s unemployment rate dips to 7.2% in July-Sept 2022 according to National Statistical Office (NSO)’s Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS).
