Q1. Consider the following statements about current-weekly-status LFPR for persons aged 15 years and above in PLFS 2023-24: 1. Rural person LFPR was 58.9 percent. 2. Urban person LFPR was 50.8 percent. 3. Rural-plus-urban female LFPR was 35.6 percent. 4. Urban female LFPR was 28.0 percent. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 and 2 only

B 1, 2 and 3 only Correct

C 2 and 4 only

D 1, 2, 3 and 4

Explanation

For CWS in 2023-24, the table gives rural person 58.9, urban person 50.8, and rural-plus-urban female 35.6. Statement 4 is false because urban female LFPR in CWS was 26.1 percent; 28.0 percent belongs to usual-status urban female LFPR.

Q2. 1. For Rajasthan in the 15-29 years age group, rural male LFPR in usual status was 66.5 per cent in 2023-24. 2. For Rajasthan in the 15-29 years age group, rural female LFPR in usual status was 40.5 per cent in 2023-24. 3. For Rajasthan in the 15-29 years age group, rural person LFPR in usual status was 53.1 per cent in 2023-24. 4. For Sikkim in the 15-29 years age group, rural female LFPR in usual status was 40.5 per cent in 2023-24. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 and 2 only

B 1, 2 and 3 only Correct

C 2 and 4 only

D 1, 2, 3 and 4

Explanation

Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct. The same table gives Rajasthan's rural 15-29 male, female and person LFPR as 66.5, 40.5 and 53.1. Statement 4 is false because Sikkim's rural female value in that row is 56.4, not 40.5.

Q3. Consider the following statements about Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS): 1. PLFS was launched in April 2017. 2. One objective of PLFS is to estimate key employment and unemployment indicators every three months for rural areas only under Current Weekly Status. 3. PLFS annual reports estimate employment and unemployment indicators in both usual status and Current Weekly Status for both rural and urban areas. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 and 2 only

B 1 and 3 only Correct

C 2 and 3 only

D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because PLFS was launched in April 2017. Statement 2 is incorrect: the short-interval quarterly objective is for urban areas only under CWS, not rural areas only. Statement 3 is correct because annual PLFS estimates cover both rural and urban areas in usual status and CWS.

Q4. Consider the following statements: 1. In usual status (ps+ss) for 2023-24, WPR for females aged 15 years and above was 40.3%. 2. In usual status (ps+ss) for 2023-24, UR was 3.2% for both males and females aged 15 years and above. 3. In usual status (ps+ss) for 2023-24, urban female UR was 7.1%. 4. In usual status (ps+ss) for 2023-24, rural female UR was 5.1%. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1, 2 and 3 only Correct

B 1 and 4 only

C 2 and 4 only

D 1, 2, 3 and 4

Explanation

Statements 1 and 2 are PIB summary facts; statement 3 matches the urban female UR cell in the 2023-24 usual-status table. Statement 4 is false because 5.1% is urban person UR; rural female UR was 2.1%.

Q5. Consider the following statements about labour-force indicators in India: 1. Labour Force Participation Rate is the percentage of persons in the labour force in the population. 2. Worker Population Ratio is the percentage of unemployed persons among the labour force. 3. Unemployment Rate is the percentage of employed persons in the population. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 only Correct

B 1 and 2 only

C 2 and 3 only

D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: LFPR measures the share of persons in the labour force in the population. Statement 2 is incorrect because that is the definition of UR, not WPR; WPR measures employed persons as a share of population. Statement 3 is incorrect because that is the definition of WPR, while UR measures unemployed persons among the labour force.
