<p><b>New concept</b></p><div>The [http://mospi.nic.in/Mospi_New/site/inner.aspx?status=3&menu_id=31 National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO)],since its inception in 1950, does the measurement of employment / unemployment in India. <br />
<br />
The National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) provides three different estimates of employment and unemployment based on different approaches / reference periods used to classify an individual’s activity status. These are the<br />
<br />
:#[http://arthapedia.in/index.php?title=Usual_Status_Unemployment Usual status approach] with a reference period of 365 days preceding the date of survey <br />
:#[http://arthapedia.in/index.php?title=Current_Weekly_Status_%28CWS%29_Unemployment Current weekly status approach] with a reference period of seven days preceding the date of survey<br />
:#[http://arthapedia.in/index.php?title=Current_Daily_Status_%28CDS%29_Unemployment Current daily status approach] with each day of the seven days preceding date of survey as the reference period.<br />
<br />
In order to find out whether an individual is employed or unemployed it needs to be first determined whether h/she belongs to the ‘Labour Force’ or not, which in turn depends on the '''Activity Status''' of the individual during the chosen reference period. <br />
<br />
Activity Status refers to the activity situation in which the individual is found during the reference period with respect to his participation in economic or non-economic activities. <br />
<br />
The NSSO defines following three broad Activity Status i) Working (engaged in an economic activity) i.e. ‘Employed’ ii) Seeking or available for work i.e. ‘Unemployed’ iii) Neither seeking nor available for work. <br />
<br />
All those individuals having a broad activity status as i) or ii) above are classified as being in the Labour Force and those having activity status iii) are classified as outside the Labour Force. Thus labour force constitutes of both employed and unemployed. <br />
<br />
<br />
In other words, '''Labor force''' (also called '''work force''') is the total number of people employed or seeking employment in a country or region.One is classified as ‘not in labour force’, if he or she was engaged in relatively longer period in any one of the non-gainful activities. <br />
<br />
'''Unemployment rate''' is the percent of the labor force that is without work.<br />
<br />
<br />
Unemployment rate = (Unemployed Workers / Total labor force) X 100<br />
<br />
<br />
As far as the situation in India was concerned, the longer the reference period, the smaller will be the rate of unemployment and the shorter the reference period, the larger the unemployment rate. <br />
<br />
The '''Work participation rate''' is also estimated which is defined as the percentage of total [http://arthapedia.in/index.php?title=Worker_(Census_Definition) workers] (main and marginal) to total population.<br />
<br />
<br />
[http://arthapedia.in/index.php?title=Worker_Population_Ratio Work participation rate] = (Total [http://arthapedia.in/index.php?title=Worker_(Census_Definition) Workers] (Main+Marginal) / Total Population) X 100<br />
<br />
<br />
The NSSO collected employment data based on ‘usual status (UPS)’ only upto its eighth round. However from 9th round onwards, it started collecting data based on ‘current weekly status (CWS)’ approach also. Planning Commission set up the Committee of Experts on Employment Estimates (Dantwala Committee) in 1960. The Committee recommended concepts and definitions for conducting such surveys. It recommended collection of data based on CDS in addition to UPS and CWS. Accordingly, beginning with the 27th round (1972-73),quinquennial(5-yearly) surveys were being conducted by NSSO to collect employment-unemployment data based on all the three approaches of UPS,CWS and CDS.<br />
<br />
In the annual survey rounds of NSSO, only employment-unemployment data based on ‘usual activity status’ and ‘current weekly status’ were collected up to 59th round. However in 60th round, a separate schedule was canvassed to collect employment and unemployment data on ‘current daily status’ also. In fact, since 60th round, NSSO is collecting data on employment and unemployment on current daily status also in its annual rounds.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
NSSO surveys are conducted on quinquennial basis. In order to measure employment-unemployment on an annual basis, Employment-Unemployment Survey is being conducted by Labour Bureau since 2009. This survey also captures the labour estimates in terms of usual principal status, usual principal and subsidiary status, current weekly status and current daily status. The findings of the survey may be viewed at [http://labourbureau.nic.in/rep_1.pdf http://labourbureau.nic.in/rep_1.pdf]<br />
<br />
<br />
Besides this, a quick quarterly enterprise level surveys([http://arthapedia.in/index.php?title=Quick_Employment_Survey Quick Employment Survey])are also conducted by Labour Bureau to capture the changes in the employment –unemployment scenario at much shorter interval. However the intent of this survey was to mainly assess the impact of global financial crisis on the Indian economy.<br />
<br />
