This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Employment and unemployment status

The question asks what the term 'Current Weekly Status' measures in India.

Current Weekly Status (CWS) is one of the standard reference-period approaches used in India's employment and unemployment surveys, alongside Usual Status and Current Daily Status.

Under CWS the reference period is the seven days preceding the date of survey, and it classifies a person's activity as employed, unemployed or out of the labour force during that week.

A person is counted as employed under CWS if he or she worked for at least one hour on at least one day during the preceding seven days, which is why the correct link is to employment and unemployment status.

The other options are unrelated in content: weekly rainfall is measured by meteorological agencies, nutrition is tracked through separate health and diet surveys, and parliamentary attendance is an entirely different administrative record - none of these use the labour-survey term CWS.

Hence, the correct answer is Employment and unemployment status.
