Reliable estimates of employment and unemployment are
obtained through quinquennial labour force surveys conducted by
National Sample Survey Office (NSSO). Last quinquennial labour force
survey was conducted during 2009-10. As per the most recent survey,
estimated unemployment rate on usual status basis in rural areas was 1.6
percent for rural areas as compared to 3.4 percent for urban areas in
the country during 2009-10. Unemployment rate is found to be higher in
urban areas than in rural areas in the country.
In order to tackle the problem of rural and urban unemployment, Government of India has been making constant efforts to provide gainful employment through normal growth process and implementing various employment generation programmes, such as, SwaranaJayantiShahariRozgarYojana (SJSRY); Prime Minister`s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP); National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) besides entrepreneurial development programmes run by the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises.
