EXPERIMENT NO :- 01
AIM :-
Case study on the analysis of the "Unemployment Rate in India." Dataset chosen: India
Unemployment Dataset (2017–2023). This will illustrate the Data Science Lifecycle.
THEORY :-
The unemployment rate in India serves as a vital indicator of the country's economic
health, highlighting the proportion of individuals actively seeking work but unable to find
employment. By analyzing the India Unemployment Dataset (2017–2023), this study aims
to uncover key insights into regional, sectoral, and demographic disparities in the labor
market. The data provides a comprehensive view of unemployment trends across rural and
urban areas, age groups, genders, and industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and
services. It also enables an assessment of the impact of policy measures and economic
events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, on employment levels.
For instance, during the pandemic, many workers in urban areas, particularly in the
manufacturing and services sectors, faced job losses due to lockdowns and business
closures, which resulted in a spike in unemployment rates. Conversely, rural areas saw
increased participation in agricultural activities due to reverse migration from cities. This
analysis helps policymakers identify vulnerable groups and regions, paving the way for
targeted interventions and sustainable job creation strategies to mitigate unemployment
challenges. Through predictive modeling, the study can forecast future unemployment
trends, ensuring a proactive approach to labor market planning.

females.
3. Sectoral Trends: Shift in employment from agriculture to services or
manufacturing.
4. Pandemic Impact: Elevated unemployment during specific periods like COVID-19
lockdowns.
