The Union government has formed a new committee under the chairmanship of former Chief Statistician Prof. T.C.A Anantto bring more transparency in employment-related data releases.
Labour bureau conducts two major surveys on employment scenario—Annual Employment-Unemployment Survey and Quarterly Employment Survey.
The Annual Employment Unemployment Survey was later replaced by Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) being conducted by the ministry of statistics and programme implementation (MoSPI).
The PLFS would not only have annual data on employment-unemployment on the rural sector but will also have quarterly data on employment-unemployment on urban sector based on larger sample size.
Besides, the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has started releasing monthly payroll data.
