The Ministry of Labour & Employment has said that India has witnessed significant employment growth of nearly 36%, adding around 170 million jobs during 2016-17 and 2022-23. With a robust democracy, dynamic economy, and a culture that celebrates unity in diversity, India’s journey toward becoming a global powerhouse continues to inspire the world.
Besides, it said that employment data from the Reserve Bank of India's KLEMS database, which relies on surveys like the Employment and Unemployment Survey (EUS) and Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS), indicates a steady rise in employment since the 1980s. The PLFS data from 2017 to 2023 also suggests that Worker Population Ratio (WPR) has increased by 9 percentage points or almost 26 percent during this period.
The Ministry further noted that employment elasticity is a rational measure for checking the causal relation between growth and employment generation in an economy. The report’s estimates, based on a linear econometric model, show that for the period 2017-23, there was a 1.11 percent increase in jobs for a percent increase in value added.
