PREFACE

A fundamental feature of a well-functioning and competitive labour market is high quality, easily accessible Labour Management Information (LMI) System. Key components of an optimal LMI system includes types of data, quality standards for data, level of details, analytic enhancement of data and information dissemination strategies and mechanisms adopted by Government. This necessitates modern day Statistical system to maintain database on Labour and Employment Statistics.

In State Strategic Statistical Plan, a Central Sector scheme, 20 Key Statistical activities have been identified and preparation of database on Labour and Employment Statistics is one of them. Bureau of Applied Economics & Statistics, a Directorate under Department of Statistics and Programme Implementation, Government of West Bengal has been entrusted with the job for the State of West Bengal.

In order to achieve the milestone, as a maiden attempt, Bureau has now prepared a database on Labour and Employment Statistics of West Bengal-2014. The data, which have been collated in the database includes, Population and Household, Labour Force, Employment, Unemployment and Under Employment, Unemployment of Youths, Hours of Work, Earnings and Employment Related Income, Occupational Injury, Labour Cost, Trade Union, Strikes and Lockouts, Labour Inspection among many others.

In this endeavour the framework has been designed by Dr. Gopaldeb

Chattopadhyay, Assistant Director of this Directorate. I express my sincere thanks to Dr. Chattopadhyay for designing the framework and collating various labour and employment statistics related data under one frame. My sincere thanks go to the Labour Department of the Government of West Bengal for providing various data on Labour Statistics.

I hope that the administrators, planners and researchers will find the publication

useful. Nonetheless, like every phenomenon, in the present publication also there may be scopes for further improvement. Comments and suggestions for improvement will be most welcome.

® Majority urban persons are usually employed in tertiary and secondary sector. In 2011-

12, around 58.1% urban persons were usually employed in tertiary sector and 39.4% were in secondary sector. Compared to India, both in rural and urban part of West Bengal more persons were engaged in secondary and tertiary sector together in 2011-12.

® Number of households with no literate member and no literate female member of age 15 years and above is less in West Bengal compared to all India, both in rural and urban areas.

CONCEPTS & DEFINITIONS

Database on Labour & Employment Statistics of West Bengal-2014 Page xxi


The database on Labour and Employment Statistics is a collection of time-series data from various censuses, surveys and other official sources. To accommodate various changes of the phenomena in the society as well as objective of the survey, the concept and definition of various terms used in different surveys, sometimes get modified. Accordingly, there is a chance of conformity problem in the concepts and definitions over time periods and it is difficult to provide exact concepts and definitions of the various terms used in the present database. However, for an overall idea, a general concept and definitions have been provided here. Interested readers are requested to refer the original report for the exact concepts and definitions used in the survey corresponding to that year.

Household: A group of persons who normally lived together and took food from a common kitchen constituted a household. The adverb “normally” means that temporary visitors and guests (whose total period of stay in the household was expected to be less than 6 months) were excluded but temporary stay-aways (whose total period of absence from the household was expected to be less than 6 months) were included. Thus a child residing in a hostel for studies are excluded from the household of his/ her parents, but a resident domestic servant or paying guest (but not just a tenant in the house) are included in the employer’s /host’s household. “Living together” is given more importance than “sharing food from a common kitchen” in drawing the boundaries of a household in case the two criteria are in conflict. However, in the special case of a person taking food with his family but sleeping elsewhere (say, in a shop or a different house) due to shortage of space, the household formed by such a person’s family members is to include the person also. Each inmate of a hotel, mess, boarding-lodging house, hostel, etc., is considered to be a single-member household except that a family living in a hotel (say) is considered one household only. The same principle is applicable for the residential staff of such establishments. The size of a household is the total number of persons in the household.

Household type: The household type is decided based on the sources of the household's income during the 365 days preceding the date of survey. For this purpose, only the household's income (net income and not gross income) from economic activities is considered; but the incomes of servants and paying guests are not taken into account. Household size: The size of a household is the total number of persons normally living in the household. Household consumer expenditure: The expenditure incurred by a household on domestic consumption during the reference period is the household's consumer expenditure. Household consumer expenditure is the total of the monetary values of consumption of various groups of items, namely (i) food, pan (betel leaves), tobacco, intoxicants and fuel & light, (ii) clothing and footwear and (iii) miscellaneous goods and services and durable articles.


Database on Labour & Employment Statistics of West Bengal-2014 Page xxii

Land owned by the household as on date of survey: A piece of land is considered as 'owned by the household' if permanent heritable possession with or without the right to transfer the title is vested on a member or members of the household. Land held in owner-like possession say, under perpetual lease, hereditary tenure, long-term lease for 30 years or more, etc., is also considered as land owned. Land possessed by the household as on date of survey: The area of land possessed includes land ‘owned’, ‘leased in’ and ‘land neither owned nor leased in’ (i.e. encroached) by the household but excludes land 'leased out'. For a piece of land under the possession of the household, if the household do not have the title of ownership and also do not have lease agreement for the use of land transacted, either orally or in writing, such land is considered as ‘neither owned nor leased in’. In collecting information regarding land possessed, the actual position as obtained on the date of survey is considered. The ‘area of land possessed’ do not include the area of land owned, leased-in, etc. by the servants/paying guests who are considered as normal members of the household, as per the definition of household taken up for the survey. Land cultivated (including orchard and plantation) during the agricultural year: Land cultivated (including orchard and plantation) during the agricultural year are recorded considering cultivation of land from the land 'owned', 'land leased-in' or from 'land neither owned nor leased-in'. Area with field crops and area under orchards and plantations are counted only once in the same year/ season. Economic Activity: Any activity resulting in production of goods and services that adds value to the national product is considered an economic activity. Such activities includes production of all goods and services for the market (i.e. for pay or profit) including those of government services, and, the production of primary commodities for own consumption and own account production of fixed assets. The term ‘economic activity’ includes (i) all the market activities performed for pay or profit which result in production of goods and services for exchange; (ii) of the non-market activities, (a) all the activities relating to the primary sector which result in production (including free collection of uncultivated crops, forestry, firewood, hunting, fishing mining, quarrying, etc.) of primary goods for own consumption, and (b) the activities relating to the own-account production of fixed assets. Own- account production of fixed assets includes construction of own houses, roads, wells etc, and of machinery, tools etc., for household enterprise and also construction of any private or community facilities free of charge. A person may be engaged in own account construction either in the capacity of a labourer or a supervisor.

As a normal practice, certain activities like prostitution, begging etc., where earnings accrue are not included in ‘economic activities’. Activity status of a person is judged irrespective of the situation whether such activity was carried out illegally in the form of smuggling or not. Activity Status: This refers to the activity status in which a person was found during a reference period with regard to the person’s participation in economic and non-economic activities. According to this, a person is regarded as being in one or a combination of the following three broad activity statuses during a reference period: (i) working or being engaged in economic activity ‘work’ as defined above, (ii) being not engaged in economic activity(work) but either making tangible efforts to

seek ‘work’ or being available for ‘ work’ if the ‘work’ is available, and (iii) being not engaged in any economic activity (work) and also not available for ‘work’. Broad activity status mentioned in (i) and (ii) above are associated with ‘being in labour force’ and (iii) with ‘not being in the labour force’. Within the labour force, broad activity status (i) and (ii) were associated with ‘employment and ‘unemployment’, respectively. Categories of Activity Status: The identification of each individual in terms of a unique activity status poses a problem when more than one of the three broad activity statuses listed above are concurrently obtained for a person. In such an eventuality the identification is done uniquely under any one of the three broad activity statuses by adopting either the major time or priority. The former is used for classification of persons according to the ‘usual activity status’ approach and the latter for classification of persons according to the ‘current activity status’ approach. Each of the three broad activity statuses is further sub-divided into several detailed activity categories. The detailed activity categories under each of the three broad activity statuses i.e. ‘employed’, ‘unemployed, and ‘not in labour force’ used are stated below: (i) Working (or Employed): (a) Self-Employed; (b) Regular-Wage/Salaried Employees; (c) Casual labour

Self – Employed: (a) worked in household enterprise (self-employed) as own account worker; (b) worked in household enterprise (self-employed) as employer; (c) Worked in household enterprises (self employed) as helper;

Regular Wage / Salaried Employee: worked as regular wage / salaried employee;

Casual Labour: (a) worked as casual wage labour in public works other than Mahatma Gandhi NREGA public works; (b) worked as casual wage labour in Mahatma Gandhi


Database on Labour & Employment Statistics of West Bengal-2014 Page xxiv

NREGA public works; (c) worked as casual wage labour in other types of works; (d) did not work owing to (i) sickness and (ii) other reasons, though there was work in household enterprise; (e) did not work owing to (i) sickness and (ii) other reasons, but had regular wage /salaried employment;

(ii) Not Working but Seeking / Available for Work (or Unemployed): (a) sought work or did not seek work but was available for work (for usual status approach) (b) sought work (for current weekly status approach) (c) did not seek but was available for work (for current weekly status approach) (iii) Neither Working nor Available for Work (or not in Labour Force): (a) attended educational institutions; (b) attended domestic duties only; (c) attended domestic duties and was also engaged in free collection of goods (vegetables, roots, firewood, cattle-feed, etc.) sewing, tailoring, weaving, etc. for household use; (d) rentiers, pensioners, remittance recipients, etc; (e) not able to work due to disability; (f) others (including beggars, prostitutes, etc.) (g) did not work due to sickness (for casual workers only); (h) children of age 0 – 4 years Workers (or employed): Workers (or employed) are persons who were engaged in any economic activity or who, despite their attachment to economic activity, abstained from work for reasons of illness, injury or other physical disability, bad weather, festivals, social or religious functions or other contingencies necessitating temporary absence from work. Unpaid helpers who assist in the operation of an economic activity in the household farm or non-farm activities are also considered as ‘workers’. Seeking or available for work (or unemployed): Those seeking work or being available for work (or unemployed) are persons who, owing to lack of work, had not worked but either sought work through employment exchanges, intermediaries, friends or relatives or by making applications to prospective employers or expressed their willingness or availability for work under the prevailing conditions of work and remuneration. Labour Force: Persons, who were either ‘working’ (or employed) or ‘seeking or available for work, (or unemployed), constitute the labour force. Not in Labour Force: Persons, who are neither ‘working’ nor ‘seeking or available for work’ for various reasons during the reference period are considered as ‘not in labour force’. Those under this latter category are students, those engaged in domestic duties, rentiers, pensioners, recipients of remittances, those living on alms, infirm or disabled persons, too young or too old persons, prostitutes, smugglers, etc. and casual labourers not working due to sickness.


Database on Labour & Employment Statistics of West Bengal-2014 Page xxv

Different approaches followed to determine activity status: The persons are classified into various activity categories on the basis of the activities pursued by them during certain specified reference periods. There are three reference periods for these quinquennial surveys: (i) one year, (ii) one week, and (iii) each day of the reference week. Based on these three periods, three different measures of activity status are arrived at. These are termed as ‘usual status’, ‘current weekly status’ and ‘current daily status’ respectively. The procedure adopted to arrive at ‘usual status’, ‘current weekly status’ and ‘current daily status’ are elucidated as below: Usual Principal Activity Status: The usual activity status relates to the activity status of a person during the reference period of 365 days preceding the date of survey. The activity status on which a person spent a relatively longer time (i.e. major time criterion) during the 365 days preceding the date of survey is considered as the principal usual activity status of the person. To decide the principal usual activity of a person, he/she is first categorized as those in the labour force (either employed or unemployed) and those not in the labour force depending on the basis of major time spent during the 365 days preceding the date of survey. Persons thus adjudged as not belonging to the labour force are assigned the broad activity status ‘neither working nor available for work’ (not in the labour force). Persons thus adjudged as not belonging to the labour force are assigned the broad activity status ‘neither working nor available for work’ (not in the labour force). At the second stage, for persons belonging to the labour force, the broad activity status of either ‘working’ (i.e. employed) or ‘not working but seeking and/or available for work’ (i.e. unemployed) are ascertained based on the same criterion viz., relatively longer time spent in accordance with either of the two broad statuses within the labour force during the 365 days preceding the date of survey. Usual Subsidiary Economic Activity Status: A person whose principal usual status is determined on the basis of the major time criterion could pursue some economic activity for a relatively shorter time (minor time) during the reference period of 365 days preceding the date of survey or for a minor period, which is less than 30 days (not necessarily for a continuous period) during the reference year. The status, in which such economic activity is pursued, is the subsidiary economic activity status of that person. Usual Activity Status considering Principal and Subsidiary Status taken together (usual status(adjusted)): The usual status, determined on the basis of the usual principal status and usual subsidiary economic activity of a person taken together, is considered as the usual activity status of the person and is written as usual status i.e. principal status plus subsidiary status (ps+ss). Accordingly to the usual status (ps+ss), the workers are those who perform some work activity either in the principal status or in the subsidiary status. Thus, a person who is not a worker in the usual principal status is considered as worker according to the usual status (ps+ss), if the person pursues some subsidiary economic activity for 30 days or


Database on Labour & Employment Statistics of West Bengal-2014 Page xxvi

more during 365 days preceding the date of survey. The usual status (ps+ss) is also termed as usual status(adjusted). Current Weekly Activity Status: The current weekly activity status of a person is the activity status during a reference period of seven days preceding the date of survey. It is decided on the basis of a certain priority cum major time criterion. According to the priority criterion, the status of ‘working’ gets priority over the status of ‘not working but seeking or available for work’, which, in turn, gets priority over the status of ‘neither working nor available for work’. A person is considered working (or employed) if he/she, while pursuing any economic activity, had worked for at least one hour on at least one day during the seven days preceding the date of survey. A person is considered ‘seeking or available for work (or unemployed’), if, during the reference week, no economic activity was pursued by the person but he/she made efforts to get work or had been available for work any time during the reference week though not actively seeking work in the belief that no work was available. A person who has neither worked nor is available for work any time during the reference week is considered as engaged in non-economic activities (or not in labour force). After deciding upon the broad current weekly activity status of a person on the basis of the ‘priority’ criterion, the detailed current activity status is then decided on the basis of ‘major time’ criterion if that person pursued multiple economic activities. Current Daily Activity Status: The activity pattern of the population, particularly in the unorganised sector, is such that during a week, and sometimes, even during a day, a person could pursue more than one activity. Moreover, many people could even undertake both economic and non-economic activities on the same day of a reference week. The current daily activity status for a person is thus determined on the basis of his/her activity status on each day of the reference week using a priority- cum- major time criterion (day to day labour time disposition). Time disposition is recorded for every member of the sample households. This involves recording of different activities pursued by the members along with the time intensity in quantitative terms for each day of the reference week. The following points are considered for assigning the time intensity and determining the current daily status of a person: (i) each day of the reference week is looked upon as comprising either ‘two half days’ or a ‘full’ day for assigning the activity status; (ii) a person is considered ‘working’ (employed) for the full day, if he/she had worked for four hours or more during the day; (iii) if a person is engaged in more than one economic activity for four hours or more on a day, he/she is assigned two out of the various economic activities on which he/she is devoted a relatively longer time on the reference day, an intensity of 0.5 is given for each of the two economic activities; (iv) if the person had worked for one hour or more but less than four hours, he/she is considered ‘working’ (employed) for half a day and ‘seeking or available for work’ (unemployed) or ‘neither seeking nor available for work’ (not in labour force) for the other half of the day depending on whether he is


Database on Labour & Employment Statistics of West Bengal-2014 Page xxvii

seeking/available for work or not; (v) if a person is not engaged in any ‘work’ even for one hour on a day but was seeking /available for work even for four hours or more, he is considered ‘unemployed’ for the entire day. But if he was ‘seeking/ available for work’ for more than one hour and less than four hours only, he is considered ‘unemployed’ for half a day and ‘not in labour force’ for the other half of the day; (vi) a person who neither had any ‘work’ to do nor is available for ‘work’ even for half a day is considered ‘not in labour force’ for the entire day and is assigned one or two of the detailed non-economic activity status depending upon the activities pursued during the reference day.

Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR): LFPR is defined as the number of persons/ person days in the labour force per 1000 persons /person days. The formula for calculating LFPR is as follows: No. of employed persons + No. of unemployed persons = ------------------------------------------------------------------------ X 1000 Total Population Work-Force Participation Rate (WFPR) or Worker- Population Ratio (WPR): WFPR or WPR is defined as the number of persons/person–days employed per thousand persons/person-days. The formula for calculating WFPR or WPR is as follows: Number of employed persons = --------------------------------------- X 1000 Total Population Age-Specific Worker- Population Ratio (ASWPR): The number of persons employed in a particular age-group per 1000 persons in that age- group is defined as the age-specific worker- population ratio (ASWPR) Proportion Unemployed (PU): PU is defined as the number of persons/person–days unemployed per thousand persons/ person-days. The formula for calculating PU is as follows: Number of Unemployed Persons = ------------------------------------------- X 1000 Total Population Unemployment Rate (UR): The Unemployment Rate (UR) is defined as the number of persons /person days unemployed per thousand persons/person days in the labour force (which includes both the employed and the unemployed). In effect, this gives the unutilised


Database on Labour & Employment Statistics of West Bengal-2014 Page xxviii

portion of the labour force. Thus, it is a more refined indicator of the unemployment situation in a population than the proportion of unemployed, which is merely the number of unemployed per thousand persons in the population as a whole. The formula for calculating UR is as follows: Number of Unemployed Persons = -------------------------------------------------------------------- X 1000 No. of employed persons + No. of unemployed persons Underemployment: Underemployment is commonly defined as the underutilisation of labour time of the workers. Some of the persons categorised as usually employed do not have work throughout the year due to seasonality in work or otherwise and their labour time is not fully utilised. Thus, they are underemployed. Underemployment is termed visible underemployment if they report themselves as available for work with respect to the shorter reference period. The NSS measures the visible underemployment by cross classifying persons by (a) their usual and current weekly statuses, (b) their usual and current daily statuses, and (c) their current weekly and current daily statuses. Some employed persons, particularly the self-employed, may appear to work throughout the year. But the work they are pursuing may not fully meet their needs in terms of generating sufficient income, giving fulfilment to them, etc. They may, therefore, want additional and/or alternative work. Such underemployment is termed as invisible underemployment and therefore, not directly measurable. The NSS calculates the indicators of invisible underemployment through a set of probing questions addressed to those categorized as usually employed on their availability for additional/alternative work and reason(s) for seeking such additional/alternative work, status of their present engagement (i.e. whether worked more or less regularly), etc. The proportion of the usually employed who indicate their availability for additional/alternative work, gives, by and large, an overall share of the employed who did not have enough work, or at least felt the need for additional/alternative work, and in that sense, are underemployed.

Occupational Injury: An occupational injury is defined as any personal injury, disease or death resulting from an occupational accident; an occupational injury is therefore distinct from an occupational disease, which is a disease contracted as a result of an exposure over a period of time to risk factors arising from work activity.

Occupational Accident: An occupational accident is an unexpected and unplanned occurrence, including acts of violence, arising out of or in connection with work which results in one or more workers incurring a personal injury, disease or death.

Case of Occupational Injury: A case of occupational injury is the case of one worker incurring an occupational injury as a result of one occupational accident. An occupational injury could be fatal (as a result of occupational accidents and where death occurred within one year of the day of the accident) or non fatal with lost work time.

Incapacity for work: Incapacity for work is the inability of the victim, due to an occupational injury, to perform the normal duties of work in the job or post occupied at the time of the occupational accident. Incapacity could be permanent or temporary.

Cases of permanent incapacity: Cases of permanent incapacity for work are cases of occupational injury where the persons injured were never able to perform again the normal duties of work in the job or post occupied at the time of the occupational accident causing the injury.

Cases of temporary incapacity: Cases of temporary incapacity are cases of occupational injury where the workers injured were unable to work from the day after the day of the accident, but were later able to perform again the normal duties of work in the job or post occupied at the time of the occupational accident causing the injury within a period of one year from the day of the accident.

Trade Union: A trade union is defined as a workers’ organization, constituted for the purpose of furthering and defending the interests of workers. Trade union membership is defined as the total number of workers that belong to a trade union.

Days not worked as a result of strikes and lockouts: Days not worked as a result of strikes and lockouts represent the total number of working days not worked as a result of strikes and lockouts in progress during the year. It is measured in terms of the sum of the actual working days during which work would normally have been carried out by each worker involved had there been no stoppage.

Labour inspectors: Labour inspectors are public officials or other authorities who are responsible for three key labour inspection activities: a) securing the enforcement of the legal provisions relating to conditions of work and the protection of workers while engaged in their work, such as provisions relating to hours, wages, safety, health and welfare, the employment of children and young persons, and other connected matters, in so far as such provisions are enforceable by labour inspectors; b) supplying technical information and advice to employers and workers concerning the most effective means of complying with the legal provisions; c) bringing to the notice of the competent authority defects or abuses not specifically covered by existing legal provisions. Labour inspectors have the authority to initiate processes that may lead to legal action.

Formal hired worker: A formal hired worker is one having continuity of job and eligible for paid annual leave and also eligible for social security benefits like provident fund or insurance provided by the employer. Informal hired worker: An informal hired worker is not having continuity of job and/or not eligible for paid annual leave and/or not eligible for social security benefits like provident fund or insurance provided by the employer. Compensation of employees: Compensation of employees is the total remuneration, in cash or in kind, payable by an enterprise to an employee in return for work done by the employee during the accounting period. It is recorded on accrual basis, i.e. measured by the value of remuneration in cash or in kind which an employee becomes entitled to receive from an employer in respect of work done during the relevant period, whether paid in advance, simultaneously or in arrears. Self employed persons (like working owners or unpaid family workers) receive mixed income and not compensation of employees. However, the books of accounts of some enterprises show salary payment to one or two working owners. In such cases, these payments are recorded as compensation to employee. Compensation of employees has two main components, i) wages and salaries payable in cash or in kind and ii) value of social contributions payable by the employer. Wages and salaries also included goods or services provided to employees as remuneration in kind instead of, or in addition to, remuneration in cash.
