Answer 2

Unemployment occurs when people are available and eager to work at the current wage rate but are unable to find work. Unemployment, according to the NSSO, is a situation in which all those who are not working due to a lack of work either seek work through employment exchanges, middlemen, friends or relatives, apply to prospective employers, or express their readiness or availability for work under the current working conditions and remunerations.

Disguised Unemployment

• It occurs when people are working in jobs where their presence or absence has no bearing on the economy's production.
• Because of the big families in rural areas, multiple individuals work on farms, and the labour of two to three persons is sometimes done by a group of 4-5 people.
• Unemployment of this nature is extremely widespread in India's agriculture sector.

In an agricultural field of Rampur village, 6 men are required for weeding but 10 people are doing the work. Thus, this kind of employment is known as disguised.
