Sample size for the fresh Working Class Family Income & Expenditure Survey

under CPI (IW) - New Series

“The sample size and sample selection methods for both outlets and the goods and

services for which price movements over time are to be observed should ensure that the prices

collected are representative and sufficient to meet the requirements for the accuracy of the index,

but also that the collection process is cost-effective.” ……………… The ILO resolution

concerning CPI.

1. Introduction: The Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers [CPI-(IW)] is

constructed from several sample-based sources. It is an estimate based on a sample of families to

estimate weights, and a sample of centres within regions (State/UT), a sample of outlets, a

sample of goods and services (index basket) and a sample of time periods for price observation.

1.2. There are two essential constituents of CPI (IW) namely; weighting

diagram/expenditure weights and retail prices. Expenditure weights are used to determine the

relative importance of the goods and services tracked in the index. The expenditure weights

assigned to the individual items in the basket represent direct expenditure on those goods and

services. But they also represent expenditure on similar goods and services not explicitly

included in the basket but expected to exhibit similar price change.

1.3. The primary source for establishing CPI weights at the basic item level is Working

Class Family Income & Expenditure Survey (WCFI&ES). It may also be the most

comprehensive source of combined (working class) family income and expenditure data

produced by the statistical system. Source for data on weights is a working class family while for

prices is an outlet. The existing WCFI&ES–weighted CPI (IW) is 2001 based and reflects an

average of results derived from the income and expenditure surveys for 1999 through 2000 in

respect of 78 industrially important centres. The relative importance of major CPI (IW)

categories is summarized in the following table:

1.4. The base expenditure weights remain the same between major market basket revisions. Therefore, it seems natural to view an index with a more recent base period as being more representative of price movements in what consumers are purchasing currently & this argues for more frequent updating. 1.5. Keeping in view the above requirement of maintaining the representative character of the index, as endorsed by ILO & various Commissions/Committees, Labour Bureau has initiated the base revision exercise which would entail, inter alia, updation of all sample based components entering into the index. The foremost step is ascertaining extent and content of coverage:

Selecting industrially representative/important areas (centres) throughout the country in which WCFI&ES is to be carried out for generation of weights & recurring collection of prices will be done for compiling indices; and

Identifying industrial sectors which would form basis to define & cover the target population.

1.6. With the accord of approval on the proposed list of 88 centres and seven sectors to be covered in the new series by the Group of Technical Advisory Committee on Statistics of Prices and Cost of Living (TAC on SPCL) – the apex advisory body on price indices in India functioning under M/O Statistics & Programme Implementation - in its first meeting held on 22

nd October 2013, the stage is formally over (Annexure I). The approved centres cover

approximately 60% (82lakh workers) of the total industrial employment of manual workers in seven sectors. 2. After arriving at the basic decisions about nature & scope of the new series, as per established practice, a fresh “Working Class Family Income & Expenditure Survey (WCFI&ES)” will be undertaken for generating CPI weights at the basic item level. For this purpose, the preliminary issue that comes to fore is determination of size of the sample survey. The importance of sample size to the entire operation of a survey is widely acknowledged fact in any large scale sample survey. Not only is it important in terms of how many households/


819

families are interviewed but how many interviewers are engaged, how big the workload is for each interviewer, etc. It also assumes importance in view of the high respondent/interviewer load in respect of WCFI&ES schedule, being multidimensional in nature. The factors and parameters that may be considered in determining the sample size are many but in the instant case they revolve chiefly around the Index Review Committee (hereinafter IRC) recommendations & existing methodology. 3. IRC on estimation of sample size: The Chadha Committee, formally the Index Review Committee (IRC), which was appointed to review the current series for effecting overall improvements submitted its report in March, 2009 and represents the latest extensive evaluation of the price indices. Labour Bureau, M/O Labour & Employment has accepted its recommendations. The Committee reviewed the existing procedure for determination of sample size and went on to recommend as following:

“The Committee desired that the sampling fraction should at least be around 1% to give adequate representation to the total population of industrial workers, so that the true consumption pattern of the targeted population is realistically captured. The Committee also decided that sample size of the next survey to be conducted in 2011 should also be worked out on the basis of data available from the previous Working Class Family Income & Expenditure Survey conducted during the period 1999-2000.” (Para 3.10.4) IRC Report - 2009. Therefore, the Committee, while endorsing the existing procedure sought to adjust the sample size so as to make sampling fraction around 1% at the respective centre.

4. Existing methodology: The existing procedure considers the variability in consumption pattern in a centre and the precision required in respect of the weights to be derived for use in compilation of index numbers along with the manageability of the workload by the field staff. 4.2. For determination of sample size, centres were classified into two categories:-

(i) Centres Common with the previous WCFI&ES

(ii) New Centres. For the common centres, sample size was arrived at by using the Co-efficient of Variation (hereinafter CV) of sub-sample indices of 36 months for each centre and compared with the precision envisaged for the survey viz. 2 per cent. The coefficient of variation is a dimensionless number that quantifies the degree of variability relative to the mean and is calculated as standard deviation divided by the expected/average value of the given characteristic. In case the average value of 36 months CV was greater than 2, then the sample size was determined by multiplying sample size of previous WCFI&E surveys by (CV)

2/4 restricting it to twofold of previous

survey. But where CV was less than or equal to 2, the sample size of the previous survey was retained. 4.3. The sample size for each of the new centres was fixed after taking into consideration the working class population in these centres and the variability observed at similar/neighboring centres. The minimum sample size for a centre was fixed at 216 for family budget enquiry and 84 for house rent survey for operational convenience. The sample sizes for other centres were adjusted to multiples of 216 and 84 respectively to achieve equitable distribution of work amongst field Investigators. 4.4. The expenditure pattern which form the principal subject of study in working class family income & expenditure survey are subject to seasonal fluctuations. To eliminate the seasonal effects from the results, it was necessary either to survey the same set of sampled families over a complete cycle of seasons through repeated visits or to spread the sampled families uniformly over the seasons in a randomized manner. The latter method had been adopted in the previous studies, as it facilitated covering a larger sample for the same cost which was expected to provide greater precision in the results. The surveys had thus been spread over a year by staggering the sample of families uniformly over the period of 12 months. The rate of


820

canvassing in each centre was kept as 18 families for Family Budget Enquiry and 7 for House Rent Survey per month. This number was fixed keeping in view the work load at the level of Assistant Superintendent/Investigator. For operational convenience, a sub‐sample of families covered for Family Budget Enquiry was selected for House Rent Survey. Care was, however, taken that no available sector of employment in a centre remained unrepresented in House Rent Survey. Following the mentioned methodology, in the 1999‐2000 survey a sample of 41,040 working class families was covered in 78 centres and the sample size in different centres varied from 216 to 3,024 families. 5. Sample size for proposed WCFI&ES: As noted above, the IRC, while endorsing the existing methodology, envisaged “adequate representation” by keeping the sampling fraction around 1% of the total industrial employment of the respective centre. Thus, concordance with IRC recommendation requires that the sample size computed by following the existing methodology may be adjusted upward (if required so) - to the nearest multiple of 216 – so that sampling fraction at each centre must be around 1% of the total industrial employment of the centre. So the final sample size should take into account the variability in consumption pattern as well as keeping the sampling fraction at 1% level whichever is greater for having a conservative value. However, the requirement to keep sampling fraction around 1% alone puts the total sample size at all India level for the proposed WCFI&E survey at approximately 82,000 working class families as identified through the manual workers - almost double the sample size that was covered in the previous survey. 5.2. The staggeringly enhanced sample size, a 100% increase, consequential of specific IRC recommendation is, however, neither required from the point of view of sampling precision nor feasible from the point of view of practical application (resources, time constraints, manageability etc.) as discussed in the following paragraphs:

It is well known that sample size determination depends, critically, on the desired degree of precision for key estimate. The more precise or reliable survey estimates must be, the bigger the sample size must be. However, for a given precision level, sample size doesn‟t depend on the size of the target population itself, except when it is a significant percentage, say 5% or greater of the target population (rarely the case in a large scale survey).

It is hard to ascertain the impact of any increase in sample size on the precision due to maintaining the sampling fraction around 1%. Likewise, it may not be possible to anticipate by what measures the existing scientific methodology may fail to secure adequate representation, if it yields sample size less than 1% of sampling fraction even though conforming to the precision requirements.

It may be well appreciated that scale of a survey is more than just a matter of its sample

size. It is more than, and includes, the size of the sample. It increases according to the complexity and volume of the information collected per case, how sensitive and burdensome the information collected is for the respondent (and for the interviewer), how complex and demanding survey operations are, etc. In this respect, Income & Expenditure survey interview schedule is especially quite challenging due to sheer number of questions that require a great deal of recall and sufficient probing on small and unremarkable expenditure. The need for a great amount of detailed data with the need to ensure that respondent report those data completely & accurately require hardly any emphasis and this phenomenon may deteriorate the quality of data, if overlooked.

It is important to recognize that high precision may be achieved from large and

otherwise well-designed samples, while accuracy can only be achieved if both sampling error and non-sampling error are minimized / reduced. This implies that a precise design may nevertheless be highly inaccurate if it has a large non-sampling error and it makes little sense to pursue more precise estimates of a biased measure. On such a enormous (& undesirable) scale, synchronizing various activities relating to survey operation with limited resources and compressed time frame on various interfaces would be difficult in circumventing the proliferation of non-sampling errors. The


821

emphasis therefore has to be on data quality and control of non-sampling errors, rather than on high sampling precision and a large sample size.

5.3. These factors clearly dictate the need to follow the existing methodology for determination of sample size while achieving balance between statistical and practical considerations. The detailed steps followed for determining the sample size are as follows:

a) For determination of sample size, centres are classified into following categories:-

(i) Centres Common with the previous WCFI&ES

(ii) New Centres

(iii) Centres identified for experimental coverage of Handloom & Construction sectors for additional allocation of samples

b) For common centres, computation of sample size primarily rests on computation of sub-sample wise indices for working out CV‟s. Further, the computation of sub-sample wise indices requires derivation of sub-sample wise weights. With this in view, item/sub-group/group level weights for each sub-sample of the common centres have been prepared on the basis of expenditure data relating to 1999-2000 survey.

c) Sub – sample wise CPI (IW) indices are constructed in a hierarchical manner in several stages – sub group, group and general (all combined) - by employing Laspeyres‟ base – weighted (expenditure weights) price relatives formula as has been used in the previous/ current series. In the first stage, the centre wise price - relative of each item in a sub group/group is multiplied by its corresponding sub group/group weight in each subsample and the sum of products for all items is divided by sum of their weights (100, as the weights are expressed as proportionate expenditure totaling to 100). The resultant figure is sub group/group index. In the next stage, group indices are derived for the Food and Miscellaneous groups from their sub group indices by multiplying the latter by their weights within the relevant groups and dividing the sum of products by the total of sub group weights (i.e. 100 in each case). The group indices which are derived for a month are combined into the “general” index by using the group weights in turn.

d) Thus, using sub sample wise weights Laspeyres CPI indices have been generated for

each sub sample in respect of each of the common centres and for a given month “cross-sectional” CV estimate has been computed. Because of the fact that heterogeneous monthly results might occur as the variability of pricing behavior is monthly dependent, these cross-sectional CV estimates have been averaged over the period of 36 months for the calendar years 2010, 2011 & 2012. By keeping fixed the precision level at 2% for new series as well, in case the average value of 36 months CV is greater than 2, then the sample size is determined by multiplying sample size of previous WCFI&E survey by (CV)

2/4 restricting it to twofold of previous survey. But

where CV is less than or equal to 2, the sample size of the previous survey has been retained.

e) The minimum sample size for a centre is proposed to be kept fixed at 84 for house rent survey and 216 for family budget enquiry [@ 7 and 18 per month] for operational convenience as has been done in the previous WCFI&ES. Accordingly, the sample sizes for other centres are adjusted to multiples of 216 and 84 respectively to achieve equitable distribution of work amongst field Investigators.

f) The average CV in respect of following 12 centres out of 65 common centres has crossed the 2% level and accordingly the sample size for these centres has been either proportionately adjusted or restricted to twofold level as the case may be.

It may be noted that except for Jamshedpur; in all the centres the computed sample size

(Col. 6) has been rounded upward to the nearest multiple of 216 according to the envisaged

workload per investigator. In respect of Jamshedpur centre the next multiple of computed sample

size of 2041 (Col.6) comes to 2160 resulting in 10 sub-samples, therefore in view of operational

constraints the sample size for the centre is proposed to be kept at 1944 thereby reducing one

sub-sample.

g) The sample size for each of the new centres has been fixed after taking into consideration

comparability of (i) the variability observed at neighboring/ similar centres and (ii) size of

employment of industrial workers.

h) Following the aforementioned criterion, the sample size has been estimated for all the 88

centres selected for the proposed survey as detailed in Annexure II. For each of the new

centres, the estimated sample size is reported in Annexure III.

i) Sample size for experimental coverage of Handloom & Construction sectors: A

decision has been taken that Labour Bureau shall cover both Construction and Handloom

sectors on pilot/experimental basis in the new series. Two centres from each Handloom &

Construction sector shall be covered separately without forming the part of all-India series.

Accordingly following centres have been identified implicitly for the purpose:


823

Sl. No. Centre Sector Region

1 Guwahati Handloom Eastern India

2 Salem Handloom Southern India

3 Mumbai Construction Western India

4 Ghaziabad/G.B.Nagar Construction Northern India

The expertise gained during the pilot exercise would facilitate decision making for inclusion of these two sectors in the subsequent series.

However, following features are noteworthy in these sectors;

Lack of sources for reliable data on sector wise & centre wise employment size

Lack of relevant legislation in respect of Handloom sector

Relatively low and disperse size of handloom units

Variegated nature of construction activities

These factors in sum put a need that Handloom & Construction sectors may be treated

as independent entity – separate from existing seven sectors – for sampling purposes.

Accordingly, a separate criterion of stratum formation may be adopted for the

workers/establishments falling in these two sectors in each of the four centres after identification

of centre boundary during the preliminary survey in consultation with respective State/UT

governments and the selection of sample in these two sectors in each of the four centres may be

designed separately in the form of independent sub‐samples. In absence of auxiliary information

on size of respective employment, an additional sample of size 216 for family budget enquiry

(and 84 for house rent survey @ 7 per 18 per month) is proposed uniformly in each of these four

centres for experimental coverage of Handloom & Construction sectors. This may reliably

facilitate explicit comparison of consumption behavior of working class families in the

Handloom & Construction sectors with the working class families of existing seven sectors as

noted in the following:

Due to practical considerations sample are to be added in the multiples of 216; equaling an investigator‟s workload.

Workers/working class families belonging to an individual sector – predominant sector

(either Handloom or construction) in a centre - would be less heterogeneous than the workers/working class families of the existing seven sectors as a whole and therefore may require smaller sample for the same precision & accuracy of sector wise expenditure weights.

The additional sample of 216 (for experimental weights) precisely equals the proposed

sample size for Ghaziabad, Salem and Guwahati centres (for general weights) to be covered in the new survey. For Mumbai centre the additional sample of 216 (for experimental weights) is one fifth and one half of the proposed sample size (for general weights) for Mumbai & nearby Thane centres respectively to be covered in the new series.


824

6. CONCLUSION: This paper proposes sample size for undertaking fresh Working Class Family Income & Expenditure Survey in respect of centres to be covered in the new CPI (IW) series as displayed in Annexure II & III. State/UT wise coverage of samples is reported in Annexure IV. The paper also puts forth rationale for an additional coverage of sample of size 216 uniformly for generating experimental weights for Handloom & Construction sectors in Ghaziabad, Salem, Guwahati & Mumbai centres. In the fresh Working Class Family Income & Expenditure Survey, in sum 48,384 (plus 864 additional coverage for Handloom & Construction sectors) working class families are proposed to be covered in 88 centres at all India level as against sample coverage of 41,040 working class families in 78 centres during 1999-2000 survey. This is approximately 17% increase in the sample coverage and corresponds to almost identical increase (15%) in the employment size in the existing seven sectors as has been observed from the previous survey. For the proposed survey sample size in different centres varies from 216 to 3,024 working class families.

The paper has already been submitted to Standing Tripartite Committee (STC). It is pertinent to mention here that pursuant to one of the crucial IRC recommendation on consultation with Index users, the M/O Labour & Employment vide its order no. Y-12011/5/2010-ESA (LB) dated 12

th January 2011 has constituted a Standing Tripartite

Committee to advise on issues pertaining to base updation exercise & to widen consultation base with stakeholders with the following composition and terms of reference: Chairman Principal Labour & Employment Advisor, M/O Labour & Employment Member

NEWS IN BRIEF

(a) INDIAN LABOUR The news items reported below have been gleaned from various official and unofficial

sources. Hence, the Labour Bureau is not in a position to vouchsafe the authenticity of the unofficial news items.

Rural Ministry Takes Steps for Timely Payment under Jobs Scheme - The rural

development ministry will identify up to 1,000 blocks across the country where there are no

banks or internet connectivity, so that wages under the rural job guarantee scheme can be

disbursed in cash. The move is aimed at checking delays in payment of wages under the

Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) besides reviving

interest in the scheme. "The government of India, in consultation with state governments, will

identify 800-1,000 blocks in the country based on criteria of low or nil internet connectivity and

non-existence of banks or post offices, for allowing payments through cash in these places," the

ministry said in a discussion paper. Delay in wage payments is one of the foremost disincentives

for beneficiaries to seek employment under the programme. As per Section 3(3) of the

MGNREGA, 2005, "Disbursement of daily wages shall be made on a weekly basis or in any

case not later than a fortnight after the date on which such work was done." "However, even

after eight years of the implementation of MGNREGA and the number of measures taken for

timely wage payment, serious delays in payment have been recorded," the ministry has admitted

in the discussion paper. According to some estimates, on an average, around 40% of the total

wage payments are delayed by more than 15 days. In 2013-14, around 16% of the total payments

were delayed between 15 and 30 days, 15% were delayed by 30 to 60 days, 7% were delayed by

60 to 90 days and 6% were delayed by more than 90 days. The problem is acute in certain blocks

in Jharkhand, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, J&K, Chhattisgarh and the northeast, where wages are

delayed by up to 90 days, defeating the social welfare aspect of the scheme.

Govt Working towards Liberalising Labour Laws to Boost Factory Jobs - The NDA

government has begun a fresh review of the country‟s labour laws that have remained

unchanged since Independence, and tailor them to meet the needs of the National Manufacturing

Policy with an aim towards boosting growth in the manufacturing sector. Accordingly, the

labour ministry has proposed changes to the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, for easier

retrenchment of workers in the National Investment and Manufacturing Zones (NIMZs). Under

the proposal, workers in any unit in the NIMZ may be removed without notice or compensation

if the employer provides them with alternative employment in the same zone at the same pay

and conditions of work. In case alternative employment is not possible, the employer will have

to pay compensation to the worker at the rate of 20 days‟ wages for every completed year of

continuous service or any part over six months. This is a significant change from the current law

where such a provision is not available for workers in the manufacturing sector. Companies with

over 100 workers cannot terminate the services of workers who have been employed for over

one year without prior permission of the state government and three months‟ notice. “Such a

provision is already present in the Act for workers engaged in mines. Based on a


837

recommendation of the department of industrial policy and promotion, we want to extend it to

cover the manufacturing sector as well,” said a senior labour ministry official, adding that the

objective is not to make retrenchment of workers easier, but to give some flexibility to

employers. The labour ministry has now called a tri-partite meeting with trade union

representatives and employers before finalising amendments to the Industrial Disputes Act.

Employee Productivity Takes a Hit in FY14 - Employee Productivity - measured in terms of

the revenue earned on each rupee spent on staff -fell to a three-year low in the last fiscal year, as

employee cost grew at a faster pace than revenue. The findings are based on an analysis of 403

of the BSE 500 companies on which data were available. Each rupee spent on employees

yielded revenue of Rs 12 in the year ended March 31, compared with Rs 12.40 in FY13 and Rs

12.90 in FY12. Employee cost as a proportion of revenue stood at 8.4% in FY14 - higher than

8.1% in the previous year and 7.7% the year before. The trend remains the same in employee-

intensive sectors like information technology, banking and financial services as well as pharma.

Total employee cost over the past three years has grown at a compounded annual growth rate

(CAGR) of 16.3% to Rs 4.8-lakh crore. Revenue increased at a much slower CAGR of 11.8% to

Rs 57.8-lakh crore, while total expenditure rose 10.6% to Rs 44.1-lakh crore and operating

profit by 15% to Rs 9-lakh crore. "Normally, this divergence appears during periods of

economic slowdown when despite revenue coming under pressure, companies cannot cut down

labour cost on account of high inflation," said G Chokkalingam, managing director of

Equinomics Research & Advisory. With gross domestic product growth at a 10-year low,

companies have faced slowdown in revenue growth. However, employees have had to be

compensated for accelerating inflation during the past three years.


Labour Ministry to Roll Out Revamped Vocational Courses - The labour ministry has

decided to go full steam ahead with a National Employment Policy with new courses for skilling

that would meet the needs of the modern economy. “The ministry proposes to formulate a

National Employment Policy (NEP) that is responsive to the aspirations of the youth and in

synergy with the growth strategies of our country,” it said, seeking public comments. According

to the plan, the ministry will roll out revamped courses for vocational training from August this

year, expand the scope of apprenticeship and women RTIs as well as re-orient employment

exchanges to provide career counselling, vocational guidance and employment services of youth.

An online portal will also be launched later this year to enable single window clearance for all

labour laws. Further, social security coverage to all unorganised sector workers will also be

provided.


Now, Get Job-ready with Red-hot Skills - With the installation of the new government at the

Centre, hopes of a speedy economic revival have led to expectations that employment will get a

boost, especially in sectors such as infrastructure, manufacturing and defence. Experts caution,

though, that the coming boom will benefit only those who possess the relevant skills. According

to staffing consultancy Kelly Services, overall demand for skills in areas and functions such as

sales and marketing, mobile technology, analytics in information technology (IT), relationship

managers in banking, and R&D is likely to grow 10-15% in 2014 compared to the previous

year. The new economy sectors of IT, business intelligence and data, and e-commerce have been


838

witnessing a surge over the past few months. The financial services industry has received a push

from reforms and new licences while consumer durables and automobile sectors are likely to

pick up if the positive sentiment translates into increased purchasing power. Aviation, too, may

see an uptick in demand with the arrival of new carriers. Technology skills are expected to be in

demand across sectors while offers are likely to pour in for civil engineers, accountants, people

managers and sales experts.


States Call for Watch on Labour Conditions Abroad - As India tries to evacuate workers still

caught up in the ongoing Iraq crisis, states have urged the Centre to take cognisance of the

vulnerability of millions of Indians working abroad by creating a central registry to monitor

their work conditions and protect them from exploitation by employers. The issue was raised at

a national conference chaired by Union labour minister where a number of state labour

ministers, including those from Bihar and Orissa stressed that the government must have a

central registry of workers moving abroad for jobs to protect their rights and prevent them from

exploitation and harassment by employers. Kerala, which till recently sent the largest number of

workers abroad, already has a registry to monitor these migrants, such a facility has not been set

up at the all-India level. Bihar has also recently started the Samundar Paar Niyojan Bureau that

is a registration and facilitation point for workers from the state moving abroad for work. While

the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs registers private recruitment agencies that place workers

abroad and also has bilateral pacts with some countries for protection of workers, there is no

specialised central registry of such workers or monitoring of their conditions of work.

Harassment of workers is common with employers often taking away their passports and not

even paying them minimum wages. According to official estimates, over 7.5 million workers

moved abroad in 2012 of the total 25 million Indians working in more than 200 countries such

as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar and even war torn countries like Afghanistan and Iraq. A

majority of the workers belong to Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu

are engaged primarily in blue-collar jobs such as construction, machinery operators, drivers and

domestic workers.

More than 70 Per Cent of the World Population Lacks Proper Social Protection - More than 70 per cent of the world population is not adequately covered by social protection, says a new report by the International Labour Organization (ILO). According to the “World Social Protection Report 2014/15: Building economic recovery, inclusive development and social justice,” only 27 per cent of the global population enjoys access to comprehensive social security. “The global community agreed in 1948 that social security and health care for children, working age people who face unemployment or injury and older persons are a universal human right,” said ILO Deputy Director-General Sandra Polaski. “And yet in 2014 the promise of universal social protection remains unfilled for the large majority of the world‟s population.” Social protection is a key policy tool to reduce poverty and inequality while stimulating inclusive growth by boosting the health and capacity of vulnerable segments of society, increasing their productivity, supporting domestic demand and facilitating the structural transformation of national economies. “The case for social protection is even more compelling in these times of economic uncertainty, low growth and increased inequality. It is also an issue that the international community should embrace prominently in the post-2015 development agenda,” added Polaski. The latest trends show that a number of high-income countries are contracting their social security systems. On the other hand, many middle-income countries are expanding their social protection systems, supporting household incomes and thereby boosting demand-led growth and inclusive development. China, for example, is close to achieving universal pension coverage and has sharply increased minimum wages and Brazil has accelerated the expansion of social protection coverage and minimum wages since 2009. Some lower-income countries, for example Mozambique, have also extended social protection, yet often through temporary safety nets with very low benefit levels. Many of these countries are now undertaking efforts to build social protection floors as part of more comprehensive social protection systems. The report looks at different social protection trends following a life-cycle approach.

Euro Zone Stumbles after China Surges - Signs of an economic revival in China have raised hopes that Beijing‟s targeted measures to bolster growth are having an impact but a slowdown in the euro zone will increase expectations of policy easing there. Chinese factory activity expanded at the fastest pace in five months in May but euro zone manufacturing growth slowed more than initially thought, fuelling expectations that the European Central Bank will ease policy this week. “The Chinese numbers were fractionally higher. We are beginning to make some progress but it is consistent with this story that the Chinese economy is not going to grow as fast as it has in the past,” said Peter Dixon at Commerzbank. “The European numbers were in and around the ballpark. It‟s not the kind of data the ECB is going to react to instantly but it is part of a bigger puzzle that says we need more growth in Europe.” Markit‟s final Manufacturing Purchasing Managers‟ Index (PMI) for the euro zone slipped to a six-month low of 52.2 in May from April‟s 53.4 as strong figures from Germany failed to offset a contraction in activity in France. The final number was below the initial reading of 52.5 but held above the 50 mark that separates growth from contraction for the 11th straight month. A subindex measuring output sank to 54.3 from 56.5, weaker than the initial reading of 54.7. Inflation in the 18 nations using the euro is predicted to have held steady at just 0.7% in May, well within the ECB‟s “danger zone” of below 1% and also below its preferred 2% ceiling. Germany is Europe‟s largest economy and again supported the tepid overall growth but in France, the bloc‟s second largest, the PMI sank back below the 50 mark after just two months of expansion.

Fewest Americans Filed Jobless Claims in May Since 2007 - Fewer Americans filed applications for unemployment benefits over the past month than at any time in seven years, a sign the labor market continues to strengthen. The four-week average for jobless claims fell to 310,250 in the period ended May 31, the lowest since June 2007, the Labor Department reported. The number of applications last week climbed to 312,000 from 304,000, in line with the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. A drop in dismissals over time may be a sign that


841

companies, lean from prior job-cutting, are preparing for improving demand. Now, sustained hiring gains are needed to push up wages and spur better consumer spending, which accounts for 70% of the economy. The number of people continuing to receive jobless benefits dropped by 20,000 to 2.6 million in the week ended May 24, the fewest since October 2007. The unemployment rate among people eligible for benefits held at 2 percent in the same week. Employers added 288,000 workers to payrolls in April, and further gains are projected.

(The Economic Times, 06.06.2014) IMF Cuts US Growth Outlook, Says Full Employment Years Off - The International Monetary Fund cut its growth forecast for the United States and said the economy would not reach full employment until the end of 2017, allowing interest rates to be held near zero for longer than financial markets expect. In its annual health check of the US economy, the IMF cut its 2014 forecast to 2 per cent from the 2.8 per cent it predicted in April, due to a weak first quarter. It kept its 2015 forecast unchanged at 3 per cent, as job creation picks up after a harsh winter. "Recent data ... suggest a meaningful rebound in activity is now underway and growth for the remainder of this year and 2015 should well exceed potential," the IMF said. Yet the country's potential growth should only be around 2 per cent going forward, below historical averages, as the population ages and productivity growth slows, it added.

Decent Jobs for Youth are Essential to the Future We Want - Youth unemployment is an “epidemic” that represents “a great test of our time,” said UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, during a visit to the International Labour Organization. “In countries rich and poor, unemployment rates for young people are many times those of adults – and of course joblessness is the tip of the iceberg,” said Ban during an ILO event on youth employment. “Many are stuck in low wage work with no protection in the informal economy. Many others find that their schooling has not equipped them with the tools for today‟s job market.” The head of the UN echoed the words of Pope Francis, who in a message to the International Labour Conference, had said that with high youth unemployment, “we are throwing away an entire generation.” “This is why I have made „Working with and for women and young people‟ one of my top priorities,” Ban said. “The UN system is implementing a system-wide action plan on youth. One priority – which is led by the ILO – is increasing cooperation on employment and entrepreneurship for youth.” He called on governments to invest more in youth employment initiatives and said that the private sector was a key driver of job creation. He urged trade unions, employers‟ organizations and businesses to “empower more youth in your own structures and engage with youth-led organizations,” adding that, “trade unions have a fundamental role in promoting and protecting young workers‟ rights”.

Indian Workers Stranded as Employer Retains Passports - Several hundred Indian nationals might be stranded in the Najaf province of Iraq, unable to return home because their employer refusing to return their passports, Amnesty International said. With the fighting between state forces and armed groups intensifying and affecting civilians across Iraq, stranded Indian workers could be facing rising dangers, it said in a statement. All the workers are reportedly employed with an infrastructure and construction company, the statement said, adding that Amnesty International India spoke to some of these workers, who said they had not been paid salaries for the last five months. It quoted one of the migrant workers, telling them over the phone: “The employer holds all our passports and refuses to return them. We have been restricting ourselves to the company premises since the conflict began because we are scared. Without our passports, we can‟t leave this country, and every passing day makes us feel more and more unsafe. We just want to go home.” The statement welcomed the Indian government‟s initiatives to evacuate stranded workers.

LABOUR DECISIONS

Basic wage would mean the wage which is universally, necessarily and ordinarily paid to all the employees across the board – In this case a dispute was raised on account of the calculation of 15% of the basic wage as Hill Development Allowance to be paid to the employees working at specified hill areas. In pursuance of the UP Govt. order, Kichha Sugar Company Limited, a unit of a subsidiary of U.P. Government Corporation, started paying Hill Development Allowance at the rate of 15% of the basic wage. The workmen demanded calculation of 15% of the said allowance by taking into account the amount paid as overtime, leave encashment and all other allowances, which was not agreeable to the employer. The matter was referred to conciliation and on its failure, the competent Government made a reference to the Industrial Tribunal. After considering the view point of both the parties the Tribunal gave award directing the employer to "give Hill Development Allowance to their permanent and regular workers on the amount received regarding leave encashment and overtime wages." However, the Tribunal observed that "Hill Development Allowance shall not be payable on bonus and retaining allowance or on any other allowances". The employer, aggrieved by the award preferred writ petition before the High Court, which affirmed the same. Hence, the present appeal. After hearing both the counsel appearing for each party and considering the earlier decisions, the apex Court observed that Hill Development Allowances was nothing but a compensatory allowance. A compensatory allowance broadly falls into three categories; (i) allowance to meet the high cost of living in certain, specially costly cities and other local areas; (ii) allowance to compensate for the hardship of service in certain areas, e.g. areas which have a bad climate and/or difficult to access; and (iii) allowances granted in areas, e.g. field service areas, where, because of special conditions of living or service, an employee cannot, besides other disadvantages, have his family with him. There may be cases in which more than one of these conditions for grant of compensatory allowance is fulfilled. It seems that taking into account bad climate and remote and difficult access, the decision was taken to grant the Hill Development Allowance at the rate of 15% of the basic wage. The expression 'basic wage' has not been explained by the Government in the order granting Hill Development Allowance. It has been defined only under Section 2(b) of the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. When an expression is not defined, one can take into account the definition given to such expression in a statute as also the dictionary meaning. In opinion of the apex court, those wages which are universally, necessarily and ordinarily paid to all the employees across the board are basic wage. Where the payment is available to those who avail the opportunity more than others, the amount paid for that cannot be included in the basic wage. In view of above, the apex court found that the amount received as leave encashment and overtime wages were not fit to be included for calculating 15% of the Hill Development Allowance. These allowances are available across the board but may vary from one workman to the other. Hence, the apex court allowed the appeal, set aside the award and the judgment of the High Court with no costs. (Kichha Sugar Co. Ltd. through General Manager Vs.

As compared to the previous month the magnitude of rise/fall in the General Index varies from centre to centre. During May, 2014, Coimbatore recorded the maximum increase of 9 points followed by Bhavnagar (7 points) and Amritsar, Mercara and Tiruchirapally (6 points each). Among others, 5 points rise was registered in 7 centres, 4 points in 11 centres, 3 points in 13 centres, 2 points in 11 centres and 1 point in 10 centres. On the contrary, a decline of 5 points was reported in Giridih, 4 points in Chhindwara, 3 points in 2 centres, 2 points in 1 centre and 1 point in 7 centres.

The prices reported in the table are averages of open markets prices of specified varieties of an item prevailing in the selected outlets in the selected market(s) in a given centre during the month in case of non-rationed items. So far as rationed items are concerned, the prices for the centres covered under informal rationing are the weighted average prices, the weights being the proportion of the quantity available through Public Distribution System and quantity procured from the open market in different centres in relation to base year requirements of an average family. In case of centres covered under Statutory Rationing the prices are average of the fair prices of variety (ies) of an item distributed through Fair Price Shops.

1.2 Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers:

A.1.2.1 (a) and (b) Labour Bureau’s Series of Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers on Base: 1986-87=100 - All-India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers on Base: 1986-87=100 replacing the earlier series on base 1960-61=100 were released with effect from November, 1995. The all-India index is a weighted average of 20 constituent State indices compiled by the Labour Bureau for Agricultural and Rural Labourers separately. A detailed note on the scope and method of construction of these indices was published in February, 1996 issue of the Indian Labour Journal.


848

The Consumer Price Index Numbers (Base: 1986-87=100) for Agricultural and Rural Labourers for 20 States and All-India are presented group-wise in Tables A.1.2.1 (a) and (b) for the months of April, 2014-May, 2014. These index numbers measure the extent of change in the retail prices of goods and services consumed by Agricultural and Rural Labourers as compared with the base period viz., 1986-87. The All-India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural Labourers and Rural Labourers (Base: 1986-87=100) for May, 2014 increased by 6 and 7 points respectively to stand at 777 ( Seven hundred and seventy seven) points and 780 (Seven hundred and eighty) points.

A.1.2.2 (a) and (b) Monthly Consumer Prices of Selected Articles for Agricultural and Rural Labourers – The monthly consumer prices of selected articles of index basket of agricultural and rural labourers utilised in the compilation of Consumer Price Index Numbers (Base: 1986-87=100) for 20 States separately for Agricultural and Rural Labourers for the month of May, 2014 are given in Tables A.1.2.2. (a) and (b). Though the spatial coverage and the individual sample village price quotations in both the series relating to the Agricultural and Rural Labourers are the same, the weighted prices of items at the State level will be slightly different from each other due to difference in the regional weights in each of the series.

2 Wages and Earnings

A.2.1 (a) and (b) Average Daily Wage Rates for Agricultural and Non-agricultural occupations- In pursuance of the recommendations of the Technical Working Group on rural retail prices set up by the NSSO in 1974, Labour Bureau has been compiling and maintaining average daily wage rate data in respect of agricultural and non-agricultural occupations based on the data collected by the Field Operation Division of National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) from a fixed set of 600 sample villages spread over 66 NSS region in 20 states. Though these wage rate data have been collected since 1986-87, their regular compilation and dissemination started w.e.f April, 1998. The average daily wage rate data was collected for eleven agricultural and seven non-agricultural occupations till October, 2013. However, following the recommendations of the Working Group constituted by the CSO on advice of the National Statistical Commission (NSC), wage rate data is now being collected for 25 occupations (12 agricultural and 13 non-agricultural). The daily wage rate data received from the field are first normalized for eight working hours a day. The simple arithmetic average of these normalized daily wage rates is worked out for each of the 20 states. The average wage rates at all-India level are derived by dividing the sum total of wages of all the 20 states by the number of quotations. These averages are restricted only to those occupations where the numbers of quotations are five or more in order to avoid the apparent inconsistency in wages paid to different categories of workers on account of differences in number of quotations. The month-wise average daily wage rates are thus worked out at State level and also at all-India level are released regularly to the users through various sources. State-wise and all-India average daily wage rates by occupation and sex for the month of May, 2014 have been presented in Table A.2.1 (a) for agricultural occupations and Table A.2.1 (b) for non-agricultural occupations.
