Unemployment rate in India (2008 to 2024): Current rate, historical trends and more https://www.forbesindia.com/article/explainers/unemployment-rate-in-india/87441/1 The second monthly Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) reveals that for May 2025, India's unemployment rate rose to 5.6 percent, up from 5.1 percent last month. This number is lower than the 7 percent rate measured by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), an independent think tank.
Throughout our economic history, several significant events have significantly impacted the unemployment rate in India.
Global Financial Crisis (2008-2009): The 2008 global financial crisis severely affected India's economy, leading to a slowdown in growth and reduced employment opportunities in various sectors.
Demonetisation (2016): The government's decision to demonetise high-value currency notes in 2016 caused economic disruptions, particularly in the informal sector, resulting in temporary job losses.
Goods and Services Tax (GST) Implementation (2017): The introduction of GST aimed to simplify the tax structure, but it initially caused short-term disruptions in the economy, affecting businesses and employment.
Covid-19 Pandemic (2020): The Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown measures profoundly impacted the Indian economy, resulting in a surge in unemployment as businesses closed and economic activities came to a standstill.
Inflationary Pressures: India has also faced inflationary pressures over the years, influencing the current unemployment rate in India. High inflation rates can erode the purchasing power of consumers, leading to reduced demand for goods and services. This can have a cascading effect on businesses, resulting in cost-cutting measures, including layoffs and hiring freezes, leading to higher unemployment rates.
