India's Labour Force Survey 2025 reveals a troubling reality for vulnerable workers. While employment levels remained stable and female workforce participation gradually increased, earnings stagnated for large segments of workers. The NSO's revamped PLFS now provides monthly data for both rural and urban areas, aligning with global standards. Casual and daily-wage workers faced significant hardship, with wages failing to keep pace despite steady economic growth. The expanded survey, with sample sizes 2.5 times larger than previous iterations, offers clearer visibility into employment trends. The shift to calendar-year reporting and monthly estimates enables faster data publication and more frequent monitoring of labour market conditions across India.
