timmy Posted May 31, 2019 Report Posted May 31, 2019 Unemployment Rate Highest In 45 Years, Centre Confirms Leaked 6.1% Figure Business Standard, which first reported the figure in January, had said that it was based on an assessment carried out by the National Sample Survey Office between July 2017 and June 2018. All India | Edited by Divyanshu Dutta Roy (with inputs from Reuters) | Updated: May 31, 2019 18:35 IST SHARE EMAIL PRINT COMMENTS A report earlier said unemployment rate was the highest since 1972-73. (Representational) NEW DELHI: The country's unemployment rate was at 6.1 per cent in 2017-18, the statistics ministry said on Friday, confirming the figure leaked to Business Standard newspaper in January, which said it was the highest since 1972-73. The data was released a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi was sworn-in for his second term. The BJP won a huge majority in the general election that ended this month despite concerns over jobs and weak farm prices. The government declined to provide comparable numbers for the jobless rate. "It's a new design, new metric... It would be unfair to compare it with the past," chief statistician Pravin Srivastava told reporters. Business Standard, which first reported the figure in January, had said that it was based on an assessment carried out by the National Sample Survey Office between July 2017 and June 2018. The unemployment rate was the highest since 1972-73, the newspaper reported without giving a figure for that fiscal year. The statistics ministry also said that female labour participation rate in urban areas for the quarter ending December 2018 was 19.5 per cent, compared with 73.6 per cent for males. The unemployment number comes as another set of data released on Friday showed that the economy grew at 5.8 per cent in the January-March period, its slowest pace in 17 quarters, and falling behind China's pace for the first time in nearly two years. https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/india-unemployment-rate-at-6-1-in-2017-18-government-2046094?pfrom=home-livetv Quote
