Year, Region, Gender, and State wise Worker Population Ratio by Highest Education Level
This dataset reports the Worker Population Ratio (WPR) by usual status (ps+ss) for individuals aged 15 years and above, based on their highest educational attainment across different states and union territories. Collected through the PLFS, this dataset supports the analysis of workforce engagement by education level on a state-by-state basis. 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.
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).
