Explanation
Introduction Statistics | Labour-market surveys need sampling methods that capture changes such as digital platform work. Explanation NSO proposed modifications from January 2027, using an updated frame for the 2027–28 panel. Proposals included a separate second-stage stratum for digital platform workers and additional questions on unpaid activities. The PLFS has been conducted since 2017. The release invited public comments, so it was a consultation on proposed revisions rather than a report that the January 2027 system was already in use during October 2026. Important Notes Proposed start: January 2027. Survey: PLFS. Agency: NSO, MoSPI. New panel: 2027–28. Source: https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2327153
