This record-setting addition underscores a robust expansion in employment and social security coverage in India.
According to the official statement, approximately 8.87 lakh new members enrolled in April 2024. A notable demographic within this new membership is the youth segment, particularly those aged 18-25, who accounted for over 55 percent of the new additions. This trend highlights increased participation from young individuals and first-time entrants into the workforce, reflecting a positive shift towards a younger, more dynamic labour market.
Women constituted a significant portion of the new enrolees, with around 2.49 lakh women joining the EPFO in April 2024.
This represents a broader movement towards a more inclusive and diverse workforce, showcasing efforts to bridge gender gaps in employment.
