NSSO 66th round Employment Survey
- The survey showed a decline in the labor force participation <for men, women or both?>
- Female LFP has declined as per all the three criteria (usual, weekly and daily status) in rural and urban areas as compared to 2004-05
- Even among urban males, there is a decline in the rates as per the usual and weekly status, though the daily status work participation rate shows an improvement.
- Only the rural males reported an increased participation in the labour market in terms of all the three criteria
- The decline in the work participation rate of females can stem from their increased participation in education and withdrawal from petty or subsidiary activities.
- Women may withdraw from principal activities if male earnings improve considerably
- Apart from the supply side (from labour point of view) factors driving this decline there are 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z"/> Subscribe on YouTube
