Haryana’s Labour Landscape: Deciphering Employment Challenges Through Periodic Surveys

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, we aim to present numerical data shedding light on the employment challenges in Haryana, emphasizing the issues of elevated youth unemployment, a diminished labour force participation rate, and a low worker-population ratio.Material and methods: The insights are drawn from unit-level data gathered in periodic labour force surveys.Results: The study underscores that Haryana's labour force participation rate is notably lower compared to neighbouring states, the national average, and global standards.Women bear a significant burden, experiencing remarkably low labour force participation rates compared to males.The situation is exacerbated for young individuals and those with higher education.Despite a positive note in the declining unemployment rate from 9.2% to 6.5% between 2018-19 and 2019-20, there remains a connection between higher educational attainment and increased unemployment, indicating a scarcity of opportunities for educated employment. Conclusions:The research highlights Haryana's low LFPR, notably below neighboring states, the national average, and global norms.
