      What does unemployment mean? What types of unemployment do we have in rural areas?

    Answer:

                      Unemployment is said to exist when people who are willing to work at the going wages cannot find jobs. In rural areas of India seasonal and disguised unemployment exists. (i) Seasonal Unemployment It happens when people are not able to find jobs during some months of the year, may be after harvesting time. People dependent upon agriculture usually face such kind of problem. There are certain busy seasons when sowing, harvesting, weeding and threshing is done. (ii) Disguised Unemployment: In it, people appear to be employed. They have agricultural plot where they find work. This usually happens among family members engaged in agricultural activity. The work requires the service of five people but engages eight people. Three people are extra. If those three people are removed, the productivity of the field will not decline. The field requires the service of five people and three extra are disguised unemployed.
