## ANSWER

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

- (a): Labour  Bureau,  an  attached  office  of  the  Ministry  of  Labour  and Employment has been conducting household based Annual Employment Unemployment  Surveys  (EUS)  since  2010-11  and  released  five  reports thereon.  According  to  the  4th  (2013-14)  and  5th  EUS  report(2015-16), Worker Population Ratio (WPR)  defined as the number of persons

employed per 1000 persons on Usual Principal Status (UPS) approach for persons 15 years & above was 49.9% & 47.8% respectively.

The  Report  for  2016-17  (6th   report)  is  under  finalization.  On  the recommendation of the Task Force on Improving Employment Data, this Survey  has been discontinued and replaced by the Periodic Labour Force Survey(PLFS) being conducted by the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation.  Based  on  the  Periodic  Labour  Force  Survey  (PLFS) conducted  during  July  2017-June  2018,  estimates  of  Worker  Population Ratio (WPR) in usual status (ps+ss) are 34.7% at All India level. However, methodology varies in both the surveys and figures are not comparable.

(b) & (c): No such data is  available.  However,  Labour  Bureau  initiated Revamped Quarterly Employment Survey(QES) in April, 2016 by extending scope  and  coverage  with  the  objective  to  measure  relative  change  in employment  situation  over  successive  quarters  in  sizeable  segment  of Non-farm Industrial economy covering 8 major sectors viz. Manufacturing, Construction,  Trade,  Transport,  Education,  Health,  Accommodation  & Restaurants and IT/BPO having 10 or more workers.

Under the New Series, the sector-wise details regarding level estimates under  first round and change estimates of employment under 2nd,  3rd,  4th,  5th,  6th    &  7th  Rounds  from  April  2016  to  Oct,  2017  are presented in Annexure-I.

(d): The  Unemployment  Rate  based  on  Usual  Principal  Status (UPS) approach for persons aged 15 years & above during the 4th & 5th round  of  Employment-Unemployment  Survey(EUS)  is  given  at  AnnexureII(a) and Annexure-II(b) respectively.

The  Unemployment  Rate  according  to  Usual  Status  (ps+ss) approach  for  each  State/UT  as  per  the  PLFS  is  given  in  Annexure-III. However  methodology  varies  in  both  the  surveys  and  figures  are  not comparable.

- (e): Employment generation coupled with improving employability is  a  priority  concern of the Government. Further, Government has taken various steps for generating employment in the country like encouraging private  sector  of  economy,    fast  tracking  various  projects  involving substantial  investment  and  increasing  public  expenditure  on  schemes like Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) run by the  Ministry  of  Micro,  Small  &  Medium  Enterprises,  Mahatma  Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) and Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) schemes run by

the  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  and  Deendayal  Antyodaya  YojanaNational  Urban  Livelihoods  Mission  (DAY-NULM)  run  by  the    Ministry  of Housing & Urban Affairs.

The  Make  in  India,  Skill  India,  Digital  India  schemes  are  being implemented  by  the  Government  and  these  are  likely  to  enhance  the employment base. MUDRA and START UPS schemes are initiated by the Government for facilitating self employment.

Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana has been initiated by the Ministry of Labour and Employment in the year 2016-17 for incentivizing industry  for  promoting  employment  generation.  Under  this  scheme, Government  is  paying  the  entire  employer's  contribution  (12  %  or  as admissible) towards the EPS and EPF w.e.f. 01.04.2018 to all eligible new employees and is applicable for all sectors for the next 3 years from the date of registration of the new employee.

Government  has  also  implemented  the  National  Career  Service (NCS) Project which comprises of a digital portal that provides a nationwide online platform for jobseekers and employers for job matching in a dynamic, efficient and responsive manner and has a repository of career content.
