In order to adjust for the impact of increasing attendance in educational institutions, LFPRs were computed excluding those classified as students (Table 6-7). The participation rates thus computed did not change in the case of illiterates, except for a small change in 1999-2000 for men, as illiterates over the age of 15 generally do not get into the educational stream. The changes were also marginal in the case of those with education below the primary level.
