Snippet: This paper constructs an individual-level panel dataset of urban Indian workers for the period 2017--18 to 2019--20 using all the available micro-data from the Periodic Labour Force Survey. To do so I propose and validate a matching procedure that overcomes the inconsistency in block identifiers in the 2017--18 and 2018--19 data releases of the PLFS. I use the constructed data set to document a number of stylised facts about gross worker flows and to estimate the effects of different individual
Document: This paper constructs an individual-level panel dataset of urban Indian workers for the period 2017--18 to 2019--20 using all the available micro-data from the Periodic Labour Force Survey. To do so I propose and validate a matching procedure that overcomes the inconsistency in block identifiers in the 2017--18 and 2018--19 data releases of the PLFS. I use the constructed data set to document a number of stylised facts about gross worker flows and to estimate the effects of different individual characteristics on probabilities of job gain and loss. I document gross flows much larger than net flows and large differences in labour market conditions between men and women, between different industries, and between the different states of India.
