a type of unemployment where
people employed are more than
actually needed. Disguised

agricultural sectors.

people do not have work during
certain seasons of the year such as
labourers in India rarely have
occupation throughout the year.

unemployment arises when there
is a mismatch between the
worker’s skills and availability of
jobs in the market.

employed but informally i.e.

thus records of their work are
never maintained.
