Question

What do you understand by disguised unemployment? Explain with an example each from the urban and rural areas​

Answer 1

Answer:

• In rural areas, where agriculture is the main source of income, this kind of unemployment can be seen often.

• If a piece of land requires only three people to work on it and instead five people are working on it, then the two extra people are said to be in a situation of disguised unemployment

Answer 2

• 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.
