Answer 1

Underemployment occurs when people are working less than what they are capable of doing.

What is underemployment?

• It is a situation in which a worker is capable to do more than his skills and qualification but gets fewer opportunities.
• Underemployment forces people to do jobs that do not match their qualifications, experience, or skills.
• But to meet ends, people are compelled to do such jobs in developing countries.

Thus, the correct option is (c): when people are working less than what they are capable of doing.
