The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has announced a significant growth in its net member additions, recording a 9.33% increase in September 2024 compared to the same month last year. This boost is largely attributed to rising employment opportunities and enhanced awareness of employee benefits.
A prominent trend observed in the data is the dominance of the youth demographic, with the 18-25 age group's participation accounting for 59.95% of the total new members last month. This reflects a pattern of predominantly first-time job seekers entering the organised workforce.
Additionally, there is a notable surge in female member additions, which increased by 12% year-on-year, signaling a shift towards a more diverse and inclusive workforce. State-wise, Maharashtra led in net member additions, contributing 21.20% of the month's increase.
