✓

Answer

  1. There are three sources of data on unemployment:
  • Reports of Census of India.
  • National Sample Survey Organisation's (NSSO) Reports of Employment and Unemployment Situation.
  • Directorate General of Employment and Training Data of Registration with Employment Exchanges.
  1. The main types of unemployment prevailing in our economy are:
  • Open unemployment refers to a phenomenon when people go hunting for jobs to the employment exchanges, offices, factories, schools etc. and give their bio-data. In the rural areas people do not go asking for a job but they stay at home when there is no work.
  • Disguised unemployment is a common form of unemployment in rural India. It is a kind of hidden unemployment. Now explaining this concept with the help of an example. Suppose in a farm of 5 acres if hired workers and 4 sons of a farmer are employed. But the actual need is for 2 hired workers and 2 sons of the farmer only. Thus the remaining 2 sons of the given farmer actually do not contribute productively so they are not required on the farm. Thus they are disguisedly unemployed.
  • Seasonal unemployment is found mostly in the rural areas because the work in agriculture is 'seasonal'. When there is no job to do on farms i.e. off-season, rural people migrate to urban areas looking for jobs. It is one of the commonest form of unemployment found in India.
