    • There was a decline in 2019-20 and 2020-21, likely due to economic disruptions, but recovery followed in subsequent years.
  2. Kerala Trend:
    • Kerala shows a similar pattern, with fluctuations and a major increase in 2022-23 (218,630).
    • The workforce in Kerala also dipped in 2019-20 and 2020-21, aligning with the national trend.
  3. Comparative Growth:
    • Kerala’s workforce increase from 2016-17 to 2022-23 is substantial, though the growth in absolute numbers is smaller compared to the national increase.

Conclusion:

Both India and Kerala experienced workforce fluctuations, with declines around 2019-20 and 2020-21, possibly due to external factors like the pandemic. However, both recovered strongly, especially in 2022-23, indicating a positive trend in employment or workforce engagement in recent years. Kerala's trends closely mirror the national pattern, though on a smaller scale.
