New Delhi: The Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) in India’s urban areas increased for males from 74.3 per cent in 2023 to 75.6 per cent in 2024, and slightly for females from 25.5 per cent to 25.8 per cent, leading to an overall rise in it from 50.3 per cent to 51 per cent indicating an increase in employment, according to data released by the Ministry of Statistics on Wednesday.

Slight improvements were seen across all categories, particularly in the overall Worker Population Ratio (WPR), which is another indicator of employment, from 47 per cent to 47.6 per cent in urban areas.
