PLFS: Year, Region, Gender, and Social Group wise Labour Force Participation Rates
This dataset captures the labour force participation rates (LFPR), expressed as a percentage, according to usual status (ps+ss) for different social groups. It is derived from the PLFS reports and is sourced from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation. The data provides insights into labor force engagement across various social groups.
NB: Survey years previously followed a July–June cycle (e.g., 2023–24 refers to July 2023–June 2024). From 2025 onward, data is reported on a calendar-year basis (January–December), with data for 2022–2024 also published in calendar-year format in the 2025 report.
