7. Rural Unemployment
• Hidden/ Disguised Unemployment
This is type of unemployment unusually found in
overpopulated underdeveloped countries, and
more particularly in agricultural sector. Due to use
of family labour in agriculture (which is not paid
wages in the usual sense), sometimes the number
of persons working on land may be far in excess of
those who are really required to produce the given
volume of output.
11. • Frictional Unemployment
Frictional unemployment occurs when a
worker moves from one job to another. It
is a result of imperfect information in the
labour market because if job seekers knew
that they would be employed for a
particular job vacancy, almost no time
would be lost in getting a new job,
eliminating this from of unemployment.
12. • Structural Unemployment
Structural Unemployment arise when the
qualification of a person is not enough to
meet his/her job responsibilities. conversely,
structural unemployment arise when the
salary offered to a person falls short of the
minimum wage that can be paid for the
concerned job.

unable to earn money to meet financial
need. Failure to pay instalments or to pay

14. Social: An economy with high
unemployment is not using all of the
resources. Since it is operating below its
production capability, it could have higher
output if more people are usefully
employed.
