(a) Structural Unemployment: This type of unemployment is caused due to mismatch in the size of population and the structure of the economy. An underdeveloped infrastructure cannot provide employment to such a large population.
(b) Disguised Unemployment: This type of unemployment is typical of the agricultural sector where more people are working on a piece of farm than are required. The unemployment is hidden but the acid test of the unemployed force comes when they are withdrawn from the field and it does not lead to a fall in production.
(c) Seasonal Unemployment: This type of unemployment exists when people cannot find gainful work during some part of the year. For example, in agricultural sector, some farmers are bound to be unemployed for some part of the year due to the seasonal character of the occupation itself.
(d) Educated Unemployment: This type of unemployment is common in urban areas. There is unemployment among educated and technically skilled workers because they do not compromise on low wages while in search of gainful employment.
A person is termed as ’unemployed’ when they are capable and willing to do gainful work at prevailing wages but still cannot get work.
