What does unemployment mean? What type of unemployment exist in rural amd urban areas?
Answers
Answer:
unemployment means not doing a paying work or being deprived of opportunities for jobs due to some reasons.
in rural areas , most common type of unemployment is 'disguised unemployment'or 'underemployment'. this means that a person only seems to ne working but is actually not full employed or is simply not needed.for that job. this occurs when a person is made to work less than his potential.
eg- in farm , to do a work only 5 people are required but 8 people are doing that same work. this is disguised unemployment where the extra 3 people only seem to be employed.
same goes for.urban areas, I will explain with an example
eg- if in a shop the shop owner retires only.one assistant but has employed three boys for help, the 2 extra boys are disguised unemployed .
Explanation:
Disguised unemployment is a kind of unemployment in which there are people who are visibly employed but are actually unemployed. This situation is also known as 'hidden unemployment'. In such a situation more people are engaged in a work than required. For example:
1. In rural areas, this type of unemployment is generally found in agricultural sector like - in a family of 9 people all are engaged in the same agricultural plot. But if 4 people are withdrawn from it there will be no reduction in output. So, these 4 people are actually facing disguised unemployment.
2. In urban areas, this type of unemployment can be seen mostly in service sectors such as in a family all members are engaged in one petty shop or a small business which can be managed by less number of persons.
