What is the difference between disguised unemployment and seasonal unemployment?
Disguised
Unemployment
Seasonal
Unemployment
It
is the
situation in which an individual appears to be employed, but he
does not add to the productivity. That is, the productivity would
remain the same even in his absence.
It is the
situation in which an individual is not able to find a job during
certain months of the year.
Example:
When
a work that requires only three individuals for its completion is
being done by five persons, the two additional persons are
disguised unemployed.
Example:
Agricultural labourers find work only during the busy seasons,
i.e., sowing, harvesting, weeding and threshing. This is because
of the seasonal character of agriculture in India.
