Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: The Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) was launched by the National Statistical Office (NSO) in April 2017 to provide more frequent data on the labour market, replacing the earlier quinquennial (five-yearly) surveys.

Statement 2 is incorrect: While initially the PLFS estimated quarterly indicators for urban areas only, a major design revamp in January 2025 expanded its scope and objectives. It now estimates key employment and unemployment indicators (viz. LFPR, WPR, UR) in the Current Weekly Status (CWS) on a monthly and quarterly basis for both rural and urban areas at the all-India level.
