    A WPR is the number of employed persons as a percentage of the total population; recent trend has been increasing (showing higher employment absorption). Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    C WPR is the number of people who are working as a percentage of the labor force; recent trend is decreasing. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Solution: The WPR is a key labor market indicator. Recent PLFS reports (which often have better data on rural and informal employment) have indicated a positive trend, with the WPR showing an increase, suggesting a rise in the proportion of the population that is employed, alongside a decline in the Unemployment Rate (UR).
