The move follows up on the Ministry’s recent release of the results of the Quarterly Employment Survey (QES)—which specifically focuses on the organised sector — for the April-June quarter. The Labour Bureau, which is the data and statistics wing of the Labour Ministry, will carry out the AFES and the next QES simultaneously. The plan is to collate the results into an annual report. A combination of both these reports will result in the All-India Quarterly Establishment-based Employment Survey (AQEES) which is expected to be released in early financial year 2023. This report, AQEES, will give an estimate of employment, vacancies, training and so on, in both the organised and unorganised sectors. According to the Labour Ministry, data on all aspects of labour is crucial and scientifically-collected data will remain the bedrock for evidence policy making.
