Unemployment Rate by Current Daily Status

Unemployment Rate (UR) is the ratio of number of unemployed persons/person-days to the number of persons/person-days in labour force. Three sets of estimates of unemployment rates are obtained based on the estimates of unemployment obtained by the three different approaches used for classification of the activity statuses of persons. The different estimates of unemployment are: i) number of persons usually unemployed based on usual status approach, ii) number of persons unemployed on an average in a week, based on the current weekly status(CWS) approach, and iii) number of person-days unemployed on an average during the reference period of seven days preceding the date of survey, based on the current daily status(CDS) approach. It is also categorised by Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Schedule Caste, Schedule Tribe, Other Backward Class.
