The report aims to estimate the key employment and unemployment indicators (viz. Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR), Worker Population Ratio (WPR) and Unemployment Rate (UR)) in both usual status (principal activity status + subsidiary activity status) and Current Weekly Status (CWS).
Key Indicators:
LFPR: Percentage of persons in the labour force (i.e. working or seeking or available for work) in the population.
WPR: Percentage of employed persons in the population.
UR: Percentage of persons unemployed among the persons in the labour force.
Activity Status – Usual Status: Determined on the basis of the reference period of last 365 days preceding the date of survey.
Activity Status – CWS: Determined on the basis of a reference period of last 7 days preceding the date of survey.
