The concept of "Disguised Unemployment" can be identified in the given scenario

Explanation:

Case:Hussain shaikh employed 7 workers,less than the usual workers but the work was done on time and output was same

• In the given case,it has been stated that less number of workers were hired thatn the usual by Hussain shaikh and still the output came out to be the same.
• This kind of scenario points towards the presence of a concept in Economics called as "Disguised Unemployment".

• Disguised Unemployment is a situation in which more number of workers or employees are hired to do a work which can be done with a lesser amount of work force.
• For example,A landlord hires 10 farmers to work in his field and harvest wheat.The 10 farmers work and harvest the whole field.Now,if the landlord had hired only 7 farmers to harvest the field,the same work would have been done in the same amount of time and would have costed lesser than paying wages to 10 farmers.
• Those 3 farmers didn't contribute in the workforce and thus,were disguised unemployed.
