The Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) is conducted by the National Statistical Office (NSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), Government of India. It is an annual survey providing estimates of labour force indicators at the national and state levels. This report covers the annual round(s) 2024-25.
| Code Range | Category | Sub-category |
|---|---|---|
| 11–21 | Employed | Self-employed |
| 31 | Employed | Regular wage/salaried |
| 41–51 | Employed | Casual labour |
| 81–82 | Unemployed | Seeking/available for work |
| 91–98 | Not in Labour Force | Domestic duties, education, etc. |
Uses the current weekly activity status code directly with the same classification scheme.
Weight = Multiplier / (100 × no_qtr), where no_qtr is the number of quarters in which the stratum appears. This is the standard NSS weighting scheme for annual estimates.
All standard labour force indicators are computed for persons aged 15 years and above.
Unit-level microdata from validated parquet extracts for the selected PLFS round(s), with variable metadata sourced from the NADA catalogue and original PLFS documentation.
The report is built from validated parquet extracts for 2024-25. Available integrity checks: column_count, column_names, first_5_rows, row_count, sex_distribution, state_count, weight_sum. Overall parquet validation status: PASS.
No official indicator-validation comparisons were available for the selected year(s). The report still includes parquet-integrity validation in the methodology section and manifest.
