What is unemployment? Explain different types of unemployment found in India. class 9​

Answer 1

Answer:

Underemployment: Unemployment is a phenomenon that occurs when a person who is actively searching for employment is unable to find work. The most frequent measure of unemployment is the unemployment rate, which is the number of unemployed people divided by the number of people in the labor force.

Types of unemployment found in India:-

(i) Disguised unemployment: In disguised unemployment, people appear to be employed while actually, they are not adding to the productivity. This usually happens among family members engaged in agricultural activity.

(ii) Seasonal unemployment: Seasonal unemployment happens when people are not able to find jobs during some months of the year. Agriculture in India is not a full-time occupation. It is seasonal. This type of unemployment is usually found in agriculture

(iii) Educated unemployment: It has become a common phenomenon in urban areas. Many youths with matriculation, graduation, and post-graduation degrees are not able to find jobs. A study showed that the unemployment of graduates and postgraduates has increased faster than among matriculate youths.
