A leading news agency of India tried to analyze data from five different sources to find that there has been significant growth in jobs over the last few years under the PM Modi government. The data derived from Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS), EPFO, RBI, National Career Services or NCS portal and various job-intensive schemes, reveals that India has witnessed a growth in jobs and a decline in the unemployment rate over the last few years. Periodic Labour Force Survey of the last six years indicates an improving trend in labour participation rate and worker population ratio. The data further showed that employment has increased in the country from 46.8 % in 2017-18 to 56 per cent in 2022-23. Similarly, the labour force participation has also gone up from 49.8 per cent to 57.9 per cent in 2022-23. The unemployment rate has declined from 6% in 2017-18 to 3.2% in 2022-23. Analysis of Employee Provident Fund Organisation data suggests that over last six years, 6.1 crore new members have joined the EPFO site. The latest Reserve Bank of India’s database also suggests that in last 9 years, estimated employment in the country have gone up from 47 crore in 2013-14 to 55.3 crore in 2021-22. Similarly, the National Career Service or NCS portal witnessed a remarkable surge of 214% in job vacancies in 2023-24 as compared to 2022-23. To talk about the numbers on a daily basis, the NCS Portal hosted around one million active job vacancies on an average. In addition to that, various government schemes show that a significant number of jobs are added to their profiles. For example under the Atmanirbhar Bharat Rojgar Yojana, total benefits of Rs 10,188.5 crore have been given to 60.49 lakh beneficiaries as on March 2024. Various other schemes like MGNREGS, PM SVANidhi, PMEGP have also helped in generating jobs. Employment opportunities were also created through various flagship programmes of the government like, Make in India, Start-up India, Digital India, Smart City mission, Housing for All, Infrastructure development and Industrial corridors. The concerning thing, however, is a staggering 83% of India's unemployed workforce comprises youth.
