Abstract

The Enterprise Surveys of Micro firms (ESM) conducted by the World Bank Group's (WBG) Enterprise Analysis Unit (DECEA) in India. The survey covers nine cities: Hyderabad, Telangana; Jaipur, Rajasthan; Kochi, Kerala; Ludhiana, Punjab; Mumbai, Maharashtra; Sehore, Madhya Pradesh; Surat, Gujarat; Tezpur, Assam; and Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.

The primary objectives of the ESM are to: i) understand demographics of the micro enterprises in the covered cities, ii) describe the environment within which these enterprises operate, and iii) enable data analysis based on the samples that are representative at each city level.

Geographic coverage

Nine cities in India: Hyderabad, Telangana; Jaipur, Rajasthan; Kochi, Kerala; Ludhiana, Punjab; Mumbai, Maharashtra; Sehore, Madhya Pradesh; Surat, Gujarat; Tezpur, Assam; and Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.

• Firms

Universe

The universe of ESM includes formally registered businesses in the sectors covered by the ES and with less than five employees. The definition of formal registration can vary by country. The universe table for each of the nine cities covered by ESM in India was obtained from the 6th Economic Census (EC) of India (conducted between January 2013 and April 2014), which has its own well-defined definition of registration. Generally, this entails registration with any central/government agency, under Shops & Establishment Act, Factories Act etc.

In terms of sectors, the survey covers all non-agricultural and non-extractive sectors. In particular, according to the group classification of ISIC Revision 4.0, it includes: all manufacturing sectors (group D), construction (group F), wholesale and retail trade (group G), transportation and storage (group H), accommodation and food service activities (group I), a subset of information and communications (group J), some administrative and support service activities (codes 79) and other service activities (codes 95). Notably, the ESM universe excludes the following sectors: financial and insurance activities (group K), real estate activities (group L), and all public or utilities-sectors.

Sampling procedure

The sample for Enterprise Survey of Micro firms in India 2022 was selected using stratified random sampling, following the methodology explained in the Sampling Note (https://www.enterprisesurveys.org/content/dam/enterprisesurveys/documents/methodology/Sampling_Note-Consolidated-2-16-22.pdf). Stratified random sampling was preferred over simple random sampling for several reasons, including: a. To obtain unbiased estimates for different subdivisions of the population with some known level of precision, along with the unbiased estimates for the whole population. b. To make sure that the final total sample includes establishments from all different sectors and that it is not concentrated in one or two of industries/sizes/regions. c. To exploit the benefits of stratified sampling where population estimates, in most cases, will be more precise than using a simple random sampling method (i.e., lower standard errors, other things being equal.) d. Stratification may produce a smaller bound on the error of estimation than would be produced by a simple random sample of the same size. This result is particularly true if measurements within strata are homogeneous. e. The cost per observation in the survey may be reduced by stratification of the population elements into convenient groupings.

Two levels of stratification were used in this survey: industry and region. For stratification by industry, two groups were used: Manufacturing (combining all the relevant activities in ISIC Rev. 4.0 codes 10-33) and Services (remainder of the universe, as outlined above). Regional stratification was done across nine cities included in the study, namely: Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kochi, Ludhiana, Mumbai, Sehore, Surat, Tezpur and Varanasi.

Abstract

The 2015-16 National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4), the fourth in the NFHS series, provides information on population, health, and nutrition for India and each state and union territory. For the first time, NFHS-4 provides district-level estimates for many important indicators. All four NFHS surveys have been conducted under the stewardship of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India. MoHFW designated the International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS), Mumbai, as the nodal agency for the surveys. Funding for NFHS-4 was provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID), the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), UNICEF, UNFPA, the MacArthur Foundation, and the Government of India. Technical assistance for NFHS-4 was provided by ICF, Maryland, USA. Assistance for the HIV component of the survey was provided by the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) and the National AIDS Research Institute (NARI), Pune.

Sampling procedure

The NFHS-4 sample was designed to provide estimates of all key indicators at the national and state levels, as well as estimates for most key indicators at the district level (for all 640 districts in India, as of the 2011 Census). The total sample size of approximately 572,000 households for India was based on the size needed to produce reliable indicator estimates for each district and for urban and rural areas in districts in which the urban population accounted for 30-70 percent of the total district population. The rural sample was selected through a two-stage sample design with villages as the Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) at the first stage (selected with probability proportional to size), followed by a random selection of 22 households in each PSU at the second stage. In urban areas, there was also a two-stage sample design with Census Enumeration Blocks (CEB) selected at the first stage and a random selection of 22 households in each CEB at the second stage. At the second stage in both urban and rural areas, households were selected after conducting a complete mapping and household listing operation in the selected first-stage units.

The figures of NFHS-4 and that of earlier rounds may not be strictly comparable due to differences in sample size and NFHS-4 will be a benchmark for future surveys. NFHS-4 fieldwork for Bihar was conducted in all 38 districts of the state from 16 March to 8 August 2015 by the Academic Management Studies (AMS) and collected information from 36,772 households, 45,812 women age 15-49 (including 7,464 women interviewed in PSUs in the state module), and 5,872 men age 15-54.

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Research instrument

Four questionnaires - household, woman's, man's, and biomarker, were used to collect information in 19 languages using Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI).

This statistic depicts the age distribution of India from 2013 to 2023. In 2023, about 25.06 percent of the Indian population fell into the 0-14 year category, 68.02 percent into the 15-64 age group and 6.92 percent were over 65 years of age. Age distribution in India India is one of the largest countries in the world and its population is constantly increasing. India’s society is categorized into a hierarchically organized caste system, encompassing certain rights and values for each caste. Indians are born into a caste, and those belonging to a lower echelon often face discrimination and hardship. The median age (which means that one half of the population is younger and the other one is older) of India’s population has been increasing constantly after a slump in the 1970s, and is expected to increase further over the next few years. However, in international comparison, it is fairly low; in other countries the average inhabitant is about 20 years older. But India seems to be on the rise, not only is it a member of the BRIC states – an association of emerging economies, the other members being Brazil, Russia and China –, life expectancy of Indians has also increased significantly over the past decade, which is an indicator of access to better health care and nutrition. Gender equality is still non-existant in India, even though most Indians believe that the quality of life is about equal for men and women in their country. India is patriarchal and women still often face forced marriages, domestic violence, dowry killings or rape. As of late, India has come to be considered one of the least safe places for women worldwide. Additionally, infanticide and selective abortion of female fetuses attribute to the inequality of women in India. It is believed that this has led to the fact that the vast majority of Indian children aged 0 to 6 years are male.

In 1800, the population of the region of present-day India was approximately 169 million. The population would grow gradually throughout the 19th century, rising to over 240 million by 1900. Population growth would begin to increase in the 1920s, as a result of falling mortality rates, due to improvements in health, sanitation and infrastructure. However, the population of India would see it’s largest rate of growth in the years following the country’s independence from the British Empire in 1948, where the population would rise from 358 million to over one billion by the turn of the century, making India the second country to pass the billion person milestone. While the rate of growth has slowed somewhat as India begins a demographics shift, the country’s population has continued to grow dramatically throughout the 21st century, and in 2020, India is estimated to have a population of just under 1.4 billion, well over a billion more people than one century previously. Today, approximately 18% of the Earth’s population lives in India, and it is estimated that India will overtake China to become the most populous country in the world within the next five years.

In financial year 2021, around *** million passengers rode buses in Mumbai daily, a significant decrease from around *** million passengers the previous year, mostly due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. During the presented period, there was a general decrease in ridership. Partially it was due to the development of new metro system in the city from 2014, as several new routes were also under development further decease could be expected.

The estimated per capita income across the western state of Maharashtra in India stood at around *** thousand Indian rupees in the financial year 2024. There was a significant increase in the income per capita in the state since the financial year 2012. Sikkim recorded the highest per capita income in the country.
