i) Disguised unemployment means that there are more people engaged in agriculture than are actually required and as such their withdrawal from land will not lower production. To remove this lot of people from agricultural sector should be shifted to work elsewhere. Now, the incomes of people who take up other work would increase the family income without reducing the agricultural production.
(ii) Disguised unemployment in urban areas implies that more people are involved in family business/ shops than required.
(iii) Disguised unemployment in rural areas e.g. whole family of a farmer is engaged in farming. Whereas if we remove one or two members of the family to other jobs, then also production of the farm remains the same e.g. suppose three brothers are running a shop and if one brother is withdrawn from the shop and output/sales of that shop remains unaffected.Disguised unemployment is a kind of unemployment in which some people look like being employed but are actually not employed fully. This situation is also known as Hidden Unemployment. In such a situation more people are engaged in a work than required. For example in rural areas, this type of unemployment is generally found in agricultural sector, e.g., in a family of nine people who are all working in the same agricultural plot, even if four of them are withdrawn, there is no reduction in the output from the plot. So, these four people are actually disguisedly employed. In urban areas, this type of unemployment can be seen mostly in service sector. An example is of a family, whose all members are working in one shop or a small business, but which can actually be managed by a fewer number of members of the family.
