Year, Region, Gender, State and Education level wise Labour Force Participation Rate according to usual principal status
This dataset provides the Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) according to usual status (ps+ss) for individuals aged 15 years and above, segmented by the highest level of education completed, across different states and union territories. Sourced from the PLFS, this data assists in understanding the relationship between educational attainment and labor force engagement. For 2023-24, Chandigarh's entire area has been considered urban for this survey. Before 2019-20, Ladakh was part of Jammu and Kashmir, and since 2020-21, Daman and Diu have been merged with Dadra and Nagar Haveli to form the union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.
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).
