## MINISTER OF STATE (IC) FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SHRI SANTOSH KUMAR GANGWAR)

(a) & (b): The Labour Bureau has conducted six household based Annual Employment-Unemployment  Surveys  (EUS)  since  2010  till  2016  and reports  of  five  rounds  have  been  released  till  date.  The  report  of  fifth round of Annual Employment Unemployment Survey (EUS) was released in September,  2016.  The  key  labour  force  indicators  i.e  Labour  Force Participation Rate (LFPR), Worker Population Rate ( WPR ) and Unemployment  Rate  (UR)  are  reported  for  persons  aged  15  years  and above. The details of outcome of the key labour force indicators based on Usual  Principal  and  Subsidiary  Status ( UPSS ) Approach  are  placed  at Annexure-I.

On the recommendations of Task Force on Employment, however, this survey has been discontinued. Since 2016, Labour Bureau has also been conducting Quarterly Employment Survey (QES) for enterprises employing 10 or more workers. Six Reports of QES have been released so far. The findings of QES are placed at Annexure-II.
