Employment Status as Per Periodic Labour Force Survey in Haryana, India

This study aims to depict numbers that speak for themselves about Haryana’s employment situation, highlighting the issue of the UR (unemployment rate), LFPR (labour force participation rate) and WPR (worker population ratio). This study is based on periodic labour force survey unit-level data from 2017-18 to 2022-23. This paper shows that Haryana's LFPR (for the overall population) is 35.3 percent, more significant than Bihar, Manipur and Lakshadweep’s Labour Force Participation Rate. The results show the critical condition of employment in Haryana compared to other states. The central problem women face in India is the exceptional LFPR compared to males. In Haryana, the female LFPR is more miserable and is less than the national level’s record. The employment condition of youths in Haryana has deteriorated because the education level is increasing, but the UR is rising. The condition is more severe of UR in youths of Haryana. In the overall age group of Haryana, most people were employed in the primary sector, which is larger than the secondary and tertiary sectors during 2019-20. A higher UR after the rising education level in Haryana is a major issue for policymakers
