Disguised unemployment is synonym of underemployment.
If people are not able to work in their full potential, they are said to be in disguised unemployment.
For example :-
Suppose there is a family with a small land , say 1 acre. All the 5 members of family work on this land. However, for such a small piece of land, 5 members are not required. Only 2-3 members are required.
The remaining 2 members of family can thus work in other occupations like factories, etc. This will provide surplus income to the family.
However , the 5 members still work on same land. So, the extra 2 workers here are said to be underemployed.
Hope it helps !! ;-)
