Answer 1

When more than required numbers of people are engaged in productive activities and where production is not affected even by their absence, it is called underemployment. This kind of unemployment is also called disguised unemployment.

In rural areas, the agricultural sector and daily wage earners, such as painters and plumbers, in urban areas show that underemployment conditions prevail.
