Discuss two challenges experienced by the nsso
Answers
Answer:
The new periodic labour force surveys, while welcome, will create a situation where there would be no data system to compare the present with the past.
Explanation:
In a recent interview, Prime Minister Narendra Modi apparently said, “more than a lack of jobs, the issue is a lack of data on jobs”.
For those of us who have been using the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) data on employment and unemployment for decades now, such a statement comes as a surprise as almost all research on several aspects of Indian labour markets has been based on data provided by the NSSO employment-unemployment surveys (EUS). Even field-based studies use the NSSO-EUS for their background research.
Unfortunately, in a recent move by the government, the NSSO-EUS has been officially discontinued since the last available figures for the 68th Round (2011-12). It is thus a fact that post-2011-12, we do not have any extensive information on the labour market situation in India.
