The headline unemployment rate in the March 2021 quarter was 9.4%. This is the lowest since the quarter ending June 2020, which coincided with the 68-day long nation-wide lockdown which was imposed on March 25, 2020.

Could the Covid-19 pandemic have left long-term scars on India’s labour markets? The findings of the January-March round of the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS), released on November 30, by the National Statistical Office (NSO), offers some answers. The quarterly round of PLFS data shows that pandemic’s adverse effect, at least in urban labour markets—quarterly rounds of PLFS only look at urban areas—could be more qualitative than quantitative in nature.

This is borne out by the fact that while the unemployment rate fell in the January-March round, the share of salaried jobs actually fell to its lowest since June 2018, the earliest period for which this data is available. The PLFS numbers also show that there is a gender bias in the employment recovery story in the post-pandemic phase, with women finding it more difficult to find jobs than men.

The headline unemployment rate in the March 2021 quarter was 9.4%. This is the lowest since the quarter ending June 2020, which coincided with the 68-day long nation-wide lockdown which was imposed on March 25, 2020. What is heartening is the fact that this decline in unemployment rate has been accompanied by a normalisation in the labour force participation rate (LPFR). LPFR is the share of population which is either working or looking for a job.
