Regular employees with no written contract, PLFS 2023-24
In Punjab 84.5% of regular wage and salaried employees have no written contract, in Rajasthan 77.1% and in Gujarat 71.9%, against 10.0% in Arunachal Pradesh, 11.4% in Mizoram and 12.5% in Nagaland. The India figure is 58.0%, from 58.6% a year earlier. Bihar rose 10.1 points in the year.
Policy implication
The measure covers only regular wage and salaried employees, who are a minority of workers. A high share in a state with much private-sector salaried work, and a low one where most salaried jobs are in government, partly reflect who the employers are. A written contract is not the same as social security cover.
