According to the Census of India, a ‘Main Worker’ is defined as a person who has worked for 183 days (or six months) or more during the reference period (one year preceding the date of enumeration). A person who worked for less than 183 days is classified as a ‘Marginal Worker’.
The Census of India categorizes the population into Workers and Non-Workers. Workers are further subdivided into Main Workers and Marginal Workers based on the duration of work. This classification helps in understanding the nature of employment and the workforce composition.
