Abstract

Elements of invisibility and underestimation of women’s work in labour force data have been acknowledged for decades, and yet the issue persists. In such a context, time-use surveys and statistics have gained importance. An LFS-TUS survey was conducted in Haryana by CWDS as part of an ILO multi-country pilot study in 2020–21. The Chapter examines and elucidates the methodological reasons for a considerably higher female WPR in both rural and urban areas in the CWDS study in comparison to the PLFS. The importance of micro-surveys in examining the relationship between caste/community and women’s work/employment/occupation and its specificities are also highlighted. The Chapter argues that while independent labour force surveys and Time Use Surveys indeed need to be regularly undertaken, intermittent rounds of a combined LFS-TUS would also be useful in advancing the understanding and overcoming biases in the conduct of labour force surveys.
