Answer 2

The above phenomenon is Disguised Unemployment.

• Laxmi and her seven family members are employed in the field but the productivity is low. It is a case of too many workers filling in a job that does not need so many labours.
• Disguised Unemployment is unemployment that does not alter the aggregate economic output. It means a fraction of the population that is not assigned by its full potential.
