|November 11, 2025
INDIA'S OVERALL UNEMPLOYMENT rate among the persons aged 15 years and above declined marginally in the second quarter of 2025-26 even though there was a slight uptick in joblessness in the urban areas and among the people in the 15-to-29-yearage group, according to the quarterly Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) released by Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation on Monday.
The unemployment rate as per Current Weekly Status (CWS) approach edged down to 5.2% in Q2 from 5.4% in April-June quarter, driven by the rural areas, where the jobless rate fell to 4.4% from 4.8% with improvements for both men and women.
In urban areas, however, unemployment rose slightly, from 6.1% to 6.2% for male and from 8.9% to 9.0% for females.
The unemployment rate for people inthe 15-to-29-yearage group showeda marginal uptick from 14.6% to 14.8%, which reflects that the job opportunities for newentrants in the market are hardly adequate.
