Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Disguised Unemployment   (i) In case of disguised unemployment, people appear to be employed but are actually not employed.   (ii) Sometimes in agricultural families, eight people are working, in the farm, whereas only five people are needed to do that work. Thus three persons are surplus and they are not needed on the farm. They also do not help to increase the production of the farm.   (iii) If these three extra persons are removed from the farm, the production from the farm will not decrease; therefore these three persons appear to be employed but are actually disguisedly unemployed.   Seasonal Unemployment   (i) Seasonal unemployment happens when people are not able to find jobs during some months of the year.   (ii) People dependent upon agriculture usually face such a kind of problem. There are certain busy seasons when sowing, harvesting, weeding and threshing is done. But when the plants are growing, there is not much work.   (iii) During this period, they remain unemployed and are said to be seasonally unemployed.  

Answer 2

Answer:

seasonal unemployment:

Seasonal unemployment occurs when people are unemployed at particular times of the year when demand for labour is lower than usual.

For example, in a Ski resort unemployment is likely to be higher in the summer when there is no snow.

Disguised unemployment:

Also known as hidden unemployment, this refers to a situation where labour that is employed in a job is not actually utilised for the production of goods and services. ...

Sometimes disguised unemployment could simply be a form of underemployment wherein the skills of a labour force are not utilised to their full capacity.
