What Labor force or Labor Market means??
In Human Resource strategy, Labor refers to A social class comprising
those who do manual labour or work for wages, and Labor Force refers to
An organized information about workers and their united action for any
Productive work (especially physical work done for wages)
Background aspects of Labor Force:
The concept of pro-poor growth envisages acceleration in economic
growth with concomitant growth in employment opportunities for the poor. This
can be achieved when productivity growth, employment growth, and rise in real
wages take place simultaneously at a rapid pace. India's economic growth over
the last two decades has been quite robust - expanding at more than 5 per cent
per annum. In recent years, the growth rate has reached 7-8 per cent.
Employment, on the other hand, has not grown so fast. The employment growth
rate decelerated from 2.04 per cent per annum between 1983 and 1993-94 to
0.98 per cent per annum between 1993-94 and 1999-2000. Employment in theorganized manufacturing1 sector grew at 1.20 per cent and 0.53 per cent per
annum over the 1980s and 1990s, respectively. The decline in organized sector
employment is partly due to the downsizing of the public sector. Unorganized
sector employment growth also witnessed a deceleration from 2.19 per cent per
annum during the 1980s to around 1 per cent in the 1990s.
In this backdrop of 'jobless growth' in the Indian economy in the last few years,
creating an environment of 'pro-poor' growth becomes an even greater
challenge. In recent years (between 1999- 2000 and 2004-05), employment
growth rate has picked up. The 61st round of the National Sample Survey
Organization (NSSO) shows that employment growth rose considerably (to
nearly 3 per cent per annum) in the period from 1999-2000 to 2004-05, though
the extent of decline in poverty has been much slower after 1993, compared
with what was experienced from 1983 to 1993-94. This indicates that in recent
years, economic growth and employment generation have both been more
beneficial to those located in the upper income strata of society than the poor.
In other words, in the present situation of economic growth, employment is

being generated more for the educated labour force than for the poor with lower
levels of human capital. All this is likely to have resulted in increasing inequality.
Labor Force in India :
The Indian labor market can be categorized into three sectors:
Rural workers , who constitute about 60% of the workforce
Organized of the formal sector, that constitutes about 8% of the
workforce; and
Urban unorganized or informal structure which represents the 32% of
the workforce.
The chart below describes the estimated increase in the number of labors
from 1977-78 to 2004-05. The labor force has grown from 276.3 million to385.5 million between 1977-78 and1993-94 showing an annual growth rate
of 2.1%. During the year 1999-2000, the workforce was estimated to be
407
million. In 2004-05 the labor market consisted of 430 million workers and
has grown up to 500 million in 2006.
Two-third of Indias workforce is employed in agriculture and rural industries.One-third of rural households are agricultural labor households, subsisting on
wage employment. Only about 9 percent of the total workforce is in theorganized sector; the remaining 91 percent are in the unorganized sector, self-employed, or employed as casual wage laborers. The labor force in year 2006
has grown up to 509.3 million out of which 60% are in agriculture, 12% areemployed in industries and the residual 28% are in services.

Labor force can be divided into four categories: self employedworkers, wage and salary earners, casual workers and unemployed.
Of these, self-employed are most loosely connected to labor marketbecause of the possibilities of work-sharing and work spreading in aself-employed enterprise. Non-contractual casual laborers have theclosest connection to labor market on almost day-to day basis.Same is the case with those unemployed who are actively seekingwork. Contractual and hence stable hired employment (with thesame employer and/or in the same job) on a regular basis iscovered in the description wage and salary workers. Persons whoare engaged in their own farm or non- farm enterprises are definedas self employed. The employees in an enterprise can be either
regular salaried/ wage employees or casual wage employees whoare normally engaged on a day today basis. The casual wageworkers both in public work and other types of work dont have any
job security or social security. These workers, either in formal orinformal sector or in private households, are informal workers. Theregular salaried/wage employees are those working in others farmor non- farm enterprises and getting in return salary or wages on aregular basis and not on the basis of daily or periodic renewal ofwork contract. This category includes those getting time wage aswell as those receiving piece wage or salary and paid apprentices,
both full time and part time. This category of persons may,therefore, include persons engaged regularly on an hourly basis,temporary workers, out- workers, etc. The table given belowclassifies labor force across male-female and rural-urbandimensions. It is clear that
Self-employment and casual labor statuses are more prevalentamong rural than urban labor force and among female thanmale workers.
The Incidence of unemployment is higher in the urban than inthe rural labor force with nearly 48 per cent of the totalunemployed persons coming from aggregate urban labor forcewhose share in total (rural plus urban) work force is 22 percent.

Those reporting wage and salary earning dominate in theurban labor force, their share being around 62 per cent (lines10 to 12 of Table).
Composition:
Composition or categorization of labor forces can be done in many ways.Labour Force by Birthplace
Labor Force by Birth place:
In August 2000, the Australian labour force totalled 9,649,700people: 7,285,200 Australian-born and 2,364,500 overseas-born. Ofthe overseas-born, 1,359,000 people were from non-Englishspeaking countries (NESC) and 1,005,500 were from the mainEnglish speaking countries (MESC). Of migrants in the workforce,94.7 per cent of MESC migrants and 92.6 per cent of NESC migrantswere employed. This compares with 93.9 per cent in employmentfor the Australian-born. The Australian-born are more stronglyrepresented in the workforce than migrants. The participation ratesof Australian-born men and women are 75.3 and 58.9 per cent
respectively. The participation ratio for NESC men and women are63.5 and 44.1 per cent respectively and for MESC men and women72.5 and 55.7 per cent respectively

1983 and 1993-94. However, there was a dip in 1987-88 andthereafter in 1999-2000. The rate reached an unprecedentedmagnitude of 38 per cent in 2004-05 .
The work participation rate among males (usual principal status)shows that around half of the male population has been working.
The work participation rate increased by one percentage pointbetween 1983 and 1993-94 (excluding 1987-88 because it was adrought year) and subsequently dropped to 52 per cent in 1999-2000 before it was restored in 2004-05 at marginally above the
1993-94 figure.

Among the female population, however, only an average one-fifthhas been working. The principal status work participation ratedropped by about one percentage point in the period from 1993- 94to 1999-2000 after remaining a little below 22 per cent between1983 and 1987-88.
In 2004-05, the pre-1990s figure seems to have been restored.While the subsidiary status work participation rate among males isminuscule, it is of considerable magnitude among females; it fellperceptibly in 1999-2000 as compared with 1993-94, butseemed tobe reviving in 2004-05.

CONCLUSION
The above report shows the composition of labor force .
Labor force or labor market shows the relation between
employed and unemployed.
Here the report is shown according to the survey report of
National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) and Central
Intelligence Agency(CIA)
This report clearly explains almost all compositions of
labour force and shows relation between them, and their
inter-dependencies.
