The five rounds of Annual Employment  Unemployment  Surveys  (EUS)  which  have  been  conducted  and results  released  pertain  to  the  years  2011-12,  2012-13,  2013-14  &  2015-16 respectively.  Labour  Force  Participation  Rate  (LFPR)  &  Workers  Population Rate (WPR) based on Usual Principal and Subsidiary Status (UPSS) Approach are at Annexure.

The Task Force on improving employment data under  the  Chairmanship of Vice Chairman, NITI Aayog has inter-alia, recommended that in addition to the (Periodic Labour Force Survey) PLFS, a new time-use survey be conducted and instituted by M/o Statistics  &  Programme  Implementation  (MoSPI).    It recommended for tapping  administrative  data  from  sources  like  Employee's Provident  Fund  Organization  (EPFO),  Employee  State  Insurance  Corporation (ESIC), National Pension Scheme (NPS), MUDRA Loans etc., to collect data on certain category of workers.
