NSO to Revise PLFS for Enhanced Labour Market Statistics Accuracy and Coverage
The National Statistics Office (NSO) has proposed changes to the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) 2027 to enhance the coverage and reliability of labour market statistics. These changes include creating a separate sampling stratum for digital platform workers and updating the sampling frame to account for urbanization and administrative boundary shifts. The survey will also incorporate data collection on various unpaid activities and will target individuals aged 15 and older during initial visits in both rural and urban settings. The Ministry of Statistics has invited feedback on these proposed modifications from stakeholders and the public within 15 days of the announcement.
