Abstract: Based on a comparative analysis of the NSS Employment-Unemployment Surveys for 1993-94 and 1999-2000, this paper examines, at the all-India level, the changes in: the size and structure of workforce; the extent of unemployment and under employment; in labour productivity and days worked; and, in wage earnings per worker and per head of population in rural and urban India. Key results include, a slower growth of work force relative to that of population, a reduction in the share and size of the work force in agriculture and in community, social and personal services; and, widespread gains in labour productivity getting translated into equally widespread and significant growth in average wage earnings per worker and per capita.
