Manpower Profile India Yearbook is an annual publication of the Institute of Applied Manpower Research. It provides comprehensive and up-to-date information on various characteristics of human resource in India available from different sources. It depicts how human resource, generated through the prevailing demographic factors, is transformed into manpower through a process of education and training and then utilised for various socio-economic activities. The Manpower Profile had been conceived of as a document, providing, at one place, all relevant information on various parameters which are crucial and useful for planning and research, indicating the sources and their limitations. Since its inception in 1993 however, more parameters, viz., vital statistics, child labour, gender issues, health status, activities of age 60+, activities of youth, international comparisons, glossary and index to indicators have been added in its subsequent annual editions. In the current edition, which is the eleventh in the series, nine new tables have been added, which are related to migration, vocational education and small scale industry. Statistics pertaining to these parameters play an important role in policy formulation for manpower planning.
