Answer 2

Answer:

Disguised unemployment is also known as under employment. In this kind of unemployment, more than the required people are employed in a particular field. The removal of a few people will not affect the productive capacity of that field.

In rural areas, disguised unemployment is generally found in agriculture. Mostly, all the members of a family work on a small farm. For example if seven members of a family are working in a field measuring two hectares, then even if we remove three people from the field, the productivity of the field will not be affected.

In urban areas, disguised unemployment is seen in the service sector among many plumbers, painter and carpenters, who are not able to find work on a daily basis and hence do odd jobs whenever required.
