Year, Region, Gender, and State wise Share of Regular Wage/Salaried Employees without Social Security Benefits

This dataset reports the percentage of regular wage or salaried employees in usual status (ps+ss) within the non-agriculture sector (industry divisions 05-99 of NIC-2008) who lack written job contracts, paid leave, or social security benefits for each state and union territory. The social security benefits considered for the survey were PF/ pension, gratuity, health care/maternity benefit or a combination of these benefits. Collected from the PLFS, it sheds light on employment conditions for regular wage earners across regions. 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).
