      What is underemployment or disguised unemployment?

    Answer:

      Underemployment means there are more people working in a sector than is necessary for that sector. For example, agricultural sector. Workers in agricultural sector are underemployed in India. Even if we remove some people, production will not be affected. We find that everyone in agricultural sector is working, none remains idle. Each one is doing some work, but no one is fully employed. This situation is known as underemployment, where people are apparently working, but all of them are made to work less than their potential. This kind of underemployment is hidden in contrast to someone, who does not have a job and is clearly visible as unemployed. Hence, it is called disguised unemployment.                                                                           (3)
