Nov 22, 2021, 11:20 IST

The National Employment Policy seeks to create a sector-wise strategy to improve the potential of job creation by pulling investments towards employment-intensive sectors, attracting new industries by creating an enabling environment, and by policy interventions. It will be created based on data from five all-India labor surveys and the E-Shram portal for facilitating evidence-based policymaking to generate employment. Following the consultations, it will be sent for cabinet approval.
