Question

Q12) When demand for labour falls short to the supply of labour due to rapidly growing population and their immobility, it is called as:

• A. a) Structural unemployment
• B. b) Disguised unemployment
• C. c) Frictional unemployment
• D. d) Seasonal unemployment

Answer 1

The correct option is A

a) Structural unemployment

Answer 12: A

Structural unemployment is a form of unemployment caused by a mismatch between the skills that workers in the economy can offer,
and the skills demanded of workers by employers (also known as the skills gap). Structural unemployment is often brought about by
technological changes that make the job skills of many of today's workers obsolete.
