India’s labour market has witnessed a significant transformation over the past six years. According to data shared in the Lok Sabha by Union Minister of State for Labour and Employment Shobha Karandlaje, the number of employed people in India increased from 47.5 crore in 2017-18 to 64.33 crore in 2023-24. The findings, based on the Reserve Bank of India’s KLEMS database, highlight rising employment, declining unemployment, and growing female participation in the workforce.
The Labour Ministry clarified that the improvements in labour indicators prove a positive trend in employment, despite challenges posed by global economic uncertainties. It stressed that India’s working-age population is increasingly engaged in productive and gainful employment, rejecting allegations of rising joblessness.
