In this  survey, a nation-wide enquiry was conducted in a moderately large sample of households to provide estimates on various characteristics pertaining to employment and unemployment in India and some characteristics associated with them at the national and state levels. Information on various facets of employment and unemployment in  India were collected  through a schedule of enquiry (Schedule 10). \n\nIn terms of subject coverage for employment and unemployment (Schedule 10), this survey is  broadly similar to the NSS 60th  round. On the request of the Planning Commission, additional  information regarding the possession of different types of \u2018ration cards\u2019 by the households and the participation of the household members in the rural areas in various  public works  programmes were also collected. Further, to meet the requirements of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, information on current attendance in educational institutions by persons of age below 30 years and the type of educational institutions being attended by the persons currently attending educational institutions was also collected. Instead of collecting detailed particulars on formal vocational training, as was done in NSS 60th  round, it was enquired from the household members, of age 15 \u2013 29 years, whether they received or receiving\u2018formal\u2019 or \u2018non-formal\u2019 vocational training. Besides, information was collected on whether the household members ( of age 15 \u2013 29 years) were receiving formal vocational training. For the purpose of collection of information on industry of activity, National Industrial Classification (NIC), 2004 was used in this survey.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2005-07-01","end":"2005-09-30"},{"start":"2005-10-01","end":"2005-12-31"},{"start":"2006-01-02","end":"2006-03-31"},{"start":"2006-04-01","end":"2006-06-30"}],"nation":[{"name":"India","abbreviation":"IND"}],"geog_coverage":"The survey covered the whole of the Indian Union except (i) Leh (Ladakh) and Kargil districts of Jammu & Kashmir, (ii) interior villages of Nagaland situated beyond 5 kilometres of the bus route and (iii) villages in Andaman and Nicobar Islands which remain inaccessible throughout the year. All the sample first-stage units of the districts Poonch and Rajouri of Jammu & Kashmir, became casualty and therefore, the districts Poonch and Rajouri of Jammu & Kashmir, are outside the survey coverage. . Thus, the estimates of Jammu and Kashmir and all-India estimates do not include these two districts.","analysis_unit":"Randomly selected households  based on sampling procedure and members of the household","universe":"The survey used the interview method of data collection from a sample of randomly selected households and members of the household","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"As in the quinquennial surveys, in the present survey too, NSSO collected data on some characteristics, based on which, estimates of employment and unemployment, measured in terms of three basic approaches, viz.,  usual status, current weekly status and current daily status can be obtained.  The reference period for these approaches differ - it being 365 days preceding the date of survey for \u2018usual status\u2019, 7 days preceding the date of survey for \u2018current weekly status\u2019 and each day of the 7 days preceding \nthe date of survey for \u2018current daily status\u2019.  \n \nData were collected on the activity status of all persons, i.e. for workers, for those seeking or available for work and also for those remaining out of labour force.  A worker could be self-employed or enjoy regular salaries\/wages or be employed on casual wage basis.  Data on this aspect, along with the industry of work of the worker and his\/her occupation, were collected during this survey.  In order to reveal the multi-dimensional features of the employment-unemployment situation in India, information on several correlates pertaining to it were also gathered. Information on participation of the household members of age 15 years and above, in the rural areas, in  public works programmes, was additionally collected. To study the employment and unemployment in proper perspective, information on current attendance in educational institutions for persons of age below 30 years was also collected. To have an idea about the skill level of the population, information on, whether the household member of age 15 \u201329 years, received \u2018formal\u2019 or \u2018non-formal\u2019 vocational training and whether they were receiving formal vocational training were collected. \n \nIn this round, Schedule 10 on employment-unemployment consisted of 9 blocks. The first three blocks, viz. Blocks 0, 1 and 2, were used to record identification of sample households and particulars of field operations, as is the common practice in usual NSS rounds. Similarly, the last two blocks, viz., Blocks 7 & 8, were again the usual blocks to record the remarks of investigator and comments by supervisory officer(s), respectively. Of the remaining 4 blocks, \nBlock 3 was for recording the household characteristics like household size, household industry, occupation, religion, social group, household type, land possessed, possession of ration card, and monthly household consumer expenditure, etc. \nBlock 4 was for recording the demographic particulars, current attendance in educational institutions, vocational training and some particulars relating to participation of the household members on public works. \nIn Block 5, usual activity particulars, both principal and subsidiary, of all the household members, were recorded. \nThe daily time disposition for different activities, for each of the seven days prior to the date of survey, along with the particulars of the activities, were recorded for each of the household members in Block 6. For the regular salaried\/ wage employee and casual labourers, wage and salary earnings were also collected in this block. Besides, the current weekly status (cws)  derived in this block from the daily time disposition data."},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Field Operations Division of Naional Sample Survey Office","abbr":"NSSO(FOD)","affiliation":"Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation "}],"sampling_procedure":"An outline of the sampling design: The 62nd  round (July 2005 - June 2006) of NSS was earmarked for survey on unorganised manufacturing enterprises, annual survey of consumer expenditure and survey on employment \u2013 unemployment. The sampling design adopted for the survey was essentially a stratified multi-stage one for both rural and urban areas. Two frames were used for this survey viz. List frame and Area frame. List frame was used only for urban sector and that too for selection of manufacturing enterprises only and thus is not relevant for discussion. Area frame was adopted for both rural and urban sectors for selection of First Stage Units (FSU)  . For the area frame, the list of villages as per census 2001 (for Manipur, 1991 census was used since 2001 census list was not available) was used as frame for the rural sector and the latest available list of UFS blocks was used as frame in the urban sector. However, EC-98 was used as frame  for the 27 towns with population 10 lakhs or more (as per Census 2001). The ultimate stage units (USU) were households, in both the sectors. In the case of large  villages\/ blocks requiring hamlet-group (hg)\/ sub-block (sb) formation, one intermediate stage was the selection of two hgs\/ sbs from each FSU.  \n\nSample Size \u2013 first stage units:  At the all-India level, a total number of 9997 FSUs (4847 villages in the rural areas and 5150 UFS blocks in the urban areas) for area frame were allocated on the basis of investigator strength.  The allocation between rural and urban sectors was made in proportion to the number of unorganised non-agricultural workers as per EC-98. The total (all-India) rural\/ urban sample FSUs were allocated to different States and U.Ts. in proportion to number of unorganised non-agriculture workers as per EC-98 subject to the availability of investigators ensuring more or less uniform work-load. Within each sector of a State\/ U.T, the respective sample sizes were allocated to the different strata in proportion to the stratum population as per census 2001.Out of these 9997 FSUs allotted for survey, 9923 FSUs could be surveyed - 4798 in rural and 5125 in urban. Note that in the 62nd  round, a sample of 10706 FSUs (4962 villages and 5744 urban blocks) was also selected for survey by the state agencies (State sample) at the all-India level. \n\nSample size \u2013 second stage units: For Schedule 10, a sample of 8 households was planned to be surveyed from each selected village and urban block. In the Central sample, 78879 households were actually surveyed \u2013 37975  in rural areas and 40904 in urban areas.  \nAs regards the actual number of persons surveyed, it was 186571 in the rural sector and 190806 in the urban sector.","sampling_deviation":"There was no deviation from the original sample deviation.","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"Summary description of the schedule  :  The schedule 10 on employment-unemployment for NSS62nd  round consisted of 9 blocks as given below. \n \nBlock 0:  Descriptive  identification of  sample  household\nBlock 1:  Identification of sample household\nBlock 2:  Particulars of field operations\nBlock 3  - Household Characteristics. \nBlock 4:  Demographic particulars of household members\nBlock 5: Usual activity particulars of household member\nBlock 6:  Time disposition of household members during the week\nBlock 7:  Remarks by investigator\/ senior investigators\nBlock 8:  Comments by supervisory officer(s).","coll_situation":"The fieldwork of 62nd  round of NSSO started from 1st  July, 2005 and continued till 30th  June, 2006.
