The first is to measure the dynamics in labour force participation and employment status in the short time interval of three months for the urban areas only in the Current Weekly Status (CWS). Thus, in every quarter, PLFS will bring out the level and change estimates of the key labour force indicators in CWS viz. Worker Population Ratio (WPR), Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR), Unemployment Rate (UR). Secondly, for both rural and urban areas, level estimates of all important parameters in both usual status and CWS will be brought out annually.","nation":[{"name":"INDIA","abbreviation":""}],"geog_coverage":"12800 FSUs (7024 villages and 5776 UFS blocks) will be\ncovered annually at all-India level."},"method":{"data_collection":{"time_method":"2023-23","sampling_procedure":"A rotational panel sampling design will be used in urban area. The rotational scheme will be of\ntwo years duration to accommodate the changes in the urban frame in the intracensal period; in\nthe sense that the sampling frames for both rural and urban areas will remain unchanged for\nevery two-year duration. In this rotational panel scheme each selected household in urban areas\nwill be visited four times \u2013 one with first visit schedule and other three with revisit schedule. The\nestimates can be given for successive quarters without any break in the series (starting from the\nfifth quarter), ensuring a 75% matching between consecutive quarters. Regression based\nestimates will not be generated. Instead, usual traditional design based estimates will be\ngenerated. The proposed design aims at generating quarterly estimates of level and change\nparameters of some important labour force indicators (LFPR, WPR & UR) based on CWS data\nin urban areas and annual estimates of level parameters based on usual status for both rural and\nurban areas in the line of employment & unemployment survey of NSS quinquennial round.\n\nRotational panel design for urban areas\n\ni. The rotational panel will be for two years, where only 25% FSUs of urban annual\nallocation will be covered in the first quarter (Panel P41) of the fourth two year panel with\ndetail listing and canvassing of visit 1 schedule in the selected households; where Pij\nindicates the panel belonging to jth quarter of the ith two-year period of rotation.\nii. Another 25% FSUs will be covered in the second quarter (Panel P42) for taking up visit 1\nschedule and revisit schedule will be canvassed in the selected households of Panel P41.\niii. A new panel P43 of 25% FSUs will be surveyed in third quarter with visit 1 schedule and\nrevisit schedules will be canvassed in the households of panels P41 & P42.\niv. In the fourth quarter, households of panels P41, P42 & P43 will be surveyed with revisit\nschedule and a new panel P44 with 25% FSUs for visit 1 schedule.\nv. In the subsequent quarters of second year of the third two year panel, 75% FSUs (3 panels\n\u2013 P42, P43 & P44) will be common and an earlier panel (P41) will be replaced by a new panel\n(P45) for canvassing visit 1 schedule. This will continue till 8th quarter of the fourth two\nyear panel.\nvi. All the FSUs of the panels P41, P42, ...., P48 (each of which is with 25% of FSUs) will be\nselected before commencement of survey in the first quarter.\nvii. At the end of the second year of each two-year duration, updated frame will be used for\nboth rural and urban areas.\nviii. FSUs of another set of panels P51, P52, ..., P58 selected from the updated frame will be made\nready before commencement of first quarter of fifth two year panel. These panels P51 to P58\nwill take care of the changes in the urban frame during the intracensal period.\nix. In the ninth quarter (first quarter of fifth two year panel), panel P51 selected from the\nupdated frame will be introduced and the panels P46, P47 and P48 of the old frame will be\nsurveyed.\nx. This scheme will continue for another 2 years with the introduction of panels P52 to P58\neach in one quarter for the subsequent 7 quarters till the end of the fifth two year panel.\nxi. Since major changes in the rural-urban frame occurs in the Census years, provision is to be\nmade to generate estimates without break in the series of estimates considering panels from\npre and post-census frames.\n\nRural samples\n\nFor rural areas, samples for all the 8 quarters will be selected before commencement of survey\nfor each two-year period, while the frame remains same for this duration. Samples are drawn\nindependently for each quarter in the form of independent sub-samples. In each quarter, only\n25% FSUs of annual allocation (as is done in each sub-round of NSS rounds) will be covered in\nrural areas so that independent estimates can be generated for each quarter. For this purpose,\nquarterly allocation will be multiple of 2 for drawing interpenetrating sub-samples.\nThere will not be any revisit in the rural samples.","coll_mode":["Face to Face"],"sources":[{"name":"","origin":"","characteristics":""}],"weight":"State\/UT level sample size will be allocated between two sectors in proportion to\npopulation as per Census 2011 with double weightage to urban sector in general. Within each\nsector of a State\/UT, the respective sample size will be allocated to the different strata (in the\ncase of urban areas) and strata\/ sub-strata (in the case of rural areas) in proportion to the\npopulation as per Census 2011.
