| Summary: | 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. |
