India’s Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) for people aged 15 and above reached 55.4% in October, reflecting a sustained rise over four consecutive months. This figure represents the proportion of individuals who are either working or actively seeking work and is measured under the Current Weekly Status (CWS). The improvement highlights growing engagement in the labour market, particularly in rural regions where participation rose to 57.8%. Although urban participation saw a minor dip to 50.5%, the overall national increase signals strengthening economic activity, broader employment opportunities, and a gradual recovery in workforce involvement across different regions and sectors.
