PLFS: Year, Region, and Gender wise Unemployment Rate among Youth

This dataset provides the unemployment rates (in percent) for individuals or youth aged 15-29 years, based on usual status (ps+ss), as estimated from the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS). Sourced from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, this data highlights youth unemployment trends over time. 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.
