The government must analyse its existing data collection exercises, rationalise them and improve the inefficient statistical administration.

It is good news that the Labour Bureau will revive its establishments-based Quarterly Employment Surveys or QES, using a larger sample. Since the Periodic Labour Force Surveys or PLFS collects data from households, the proposed quarterly survey of jobs will collect data from establishments. But it is advisable to review the multiple existing employment and other labour market-related databases and identify the statistical voids, deficits and shortcomings in them before launching one more which does not add much value.

Existing Statistics on Employment

Presently, data on employment is collected from multiple sources. Under the Employment Market Information (EMI) and Employment Exchanges (Compulsory Notification of Vacancies) Act, 1959, data on employment is collected from the organised sector. The Economic Census periodically (not at fixed intervals) collects data from households and establishments covering the unorganised and the organised economic segments but excludes crop production, plantation, public administration, defence and compulsory social security.

Once in a decade, the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner collects information on many variables including workers from the households. The National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) was conducting a quinquennial survey on several variables from households including employment, which it classified as “self-employed”, “regular wage/salaried” and “casual workers”. Now, the annual PLFS carries out what NSSO had been doing. The Annual Survey of Industries or ASI also collects information on numerous variables including employment in organised establishments in the factory sector. Occasional surveys of the unorganised sector by the NSSO also take place. Administrative data is generated under various labour laws by both central and state governments .
