20 million back in the job in May as lockdown eases

Published

on

NEW DELHI: About 20 million workers came back into employment in May as the government eased the nationwide lockdown to counter Covid-19 outbreak, according to an update by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy or CMIE. CMIE report said India’s employment rate was up 2% in May to 29% from 27% in April. CMIE had estimated 122 million people had lost their jobs due to nationwide lockdown since March 25.

“This two percentage point increase implies that about 20 million people may have been added to the count of those that are employed,” CMIE said, adding implicitly that the loss of 122 million in April may have narrowed down to 102 million in May. “If 20 million jobs have indeed been repaired, we have made significant progress. But, the remaining challenge is five times larger at 102 million,” it added.

According to CMIE, increasing labour participation rate (LPR) week after week in May, touching 38.8% for the week ended May 17, shows that a fairly large number that had technically left the labour market in April is returning back. LPR had fallen to 35.6% in April from 41.9% in March after which it gained ground in May.

Back-at-Job

Workers coming back
CMIE’s Consumer Pyramids Household Survey shows that while the count of employed shrunk by 122 million in April, the number of people willing to work but not actively seeking jobs swelled by 77 million to 89 million in April from 12 million in 2019-20.

“These are the potentially unemployed but technically not considered unemployed,” it said, adding that since these people are willing to work, they can easily join the labour force and start looking for jobs if employment conditions improve even marginally.

According to CMIE, the weekly estimates of May suggest that there is a migration of labour from the ‘willing but not looking for jobs’ category to the ‘willing and looking for jobs category’. “The discouraged workers seem to be coming back to look for jobs. This is good news,” CMIE said, adding that weekly data also suggests that this influx into the labour markets is succeeding in finding jobs.

CMIE, in the normal course, conducts a multi-stratified survey using a monthly sample size of 1,17,000 individuals who are visited in person and interviewed. However, since the lockdown, the sample size has been reduced to 11,000-12,000 individuals and people are being interviewed over phone.

He further added,

“Let me clarify since this is my interview. I asked @MahuaMoitra: What’s your source of energy in the morning? Mahua Moitra replied: EGGS …(anda) This is ridiculous how the bhakt mandali has distorted it to make it sound like sex. The audio is being tampered with deliberately,” 

Mahua Moitra is facing a probe for a cash-for-question case by the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Back on 8 December, she was expelled from Lok Sabha as a Member of Parliament (MP) after the Ethics panel’s determination of her guilt in the ‘cash-for-query’ case.
