The age group of 18-25 years constitutes 56.60 per cent of the total of new members during the month. This shows that first-time job seekers are largely joining the organised sector workforce of the country.
The data also highlighted that approximately 11.21 lakh members re-joined EPFO membership.
These members switched their jobs and re-joined the establishments covered under EPFO and opted to transfer their accumulations instead of applying for final settlement thus, extending their social security protection.The labour ministry also released Employees' State Insurance Scheme (ESI Scheme) provisional payroll data for November 2022 on Friday.

A year-on-year comparison of payroll data reflects an increase of 5.24 lakhs in net membership in November 2022 as compared to the corresponding month in 2021.
As per data, around 21,953 new establishments have been registered in the month of November 2022 under the Employees' State Insurance Corporation ensuring social security coverage to their employees.
Of the total 18.86 lakh employees added during the month, the age group having higher registration was of 18-25 years with 8.78 lakh employees. Gender-wise analysis of ESIS payroll data indicates that the enrolment of net female members has been 3.51 lakh in November 2022.
The data shows that a total of 63 transgender employees have also got registered under ESI Scheme in the month of November.
Gender-wise analysis of EPFO payroll data indicates that enrollment of net female members has been 3.19 lakh in November 2022.
As compared to previous month net female member addition has increased by around 0.56 lakh from 2.63 lakh in October 2022.

State-wise payroll figures highlight that month-on-month growing trend in net member addition is reflected in the states of Gujarat, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra & Rajasthan.
These states together add 58.23 per cent of total net membership during the month. Of all the states, Maharashtra is leading by adding 20 per cent of overall member addition followed by the state of Tamil Nadu with 10.91 per cent during the month.
The classification of industry-wise payroll data indicates that 'Expert Services' (consisting of manpower suppliers, normal contractors, security services, miscellaneous activities etc.) constitute 40 per cent of total member addition during the month. Comparing industry-wise data with that of previous month, higher enrolments have been noticed in industries namely, 'automobile servicing', 'building and construction industry', 'engineers- engg. contractors', 'financing establishment', 'hospitals' etc.
The payroll data is provisional since the data generation is a continuous exercise, as updating employee record is a continuous process. The previous data hence gets updated every month. In monthly payroll data, the count of members joining EPFO for the first time through Aadhaar validated Universal Account Number (UAN), existing members exiting from coverage of EPFO and those who exited but re-joining as members, is taken to arrive at net monthly payroll, it stated.
The EPFO is India's principal organisation responsible for social security coverage to the organised sector workforce covered under the purview of Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952
