Latest Data and Recent Trends Recent months: Urban LFPR has hovered just above 50%, with minor fluctuations: April 2025: 50.7% May 2025: 50.4% Previous reporting: Before the introduction of monthly PLFS bulletins in April 2025, urban LFPR was tracked quarterly, with similar figures in the 50–51% range. How LFPR Is Calculated The Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) is defined as the percentage of people in the working-age population (15 years and above) who are either employed or actively seeking work. The labour force includes both employed persons and those unemployed but actively seeking or available for work. Data is collected via the PLFS using the Current Weekly Status (CWS) approach, which captures participation in any economic activity for at least one hour during the reference week. Impact of LFPR A higher LFPR signals greater engagement of the working-age population in the economy, reflecting both job creation and increased willingness to seek work. Urban LFPR is a key metric for policymakers to assess the effectiveness of employment policies, urbanization impacts, and gender inclusion. Persistent gender gaps and regional disparities highlight areas for targeted intervention to further boost participation, especially among women and in specific urban centers. Key Drivers Seasonal effects: The slight drop in May is attributed to seasonal factors, such as the end of the Rabi harvest affecting rural-urban migration and job availability. Economic conditions: Slower job creation in urban manufacturing and services, along with global uncertainties and cautious corporate hiring, have contributed to the stagnation or decline in urban LFPR. Gender gap: Urban female LFPR remains significantly lower than male LFPR, which pulls down the overall urban LFPR
