    1st is correct: Seasonal Unemployment: It is an unemployment that occurs during certain seasons of the year.

    • Agricultural labourers in India rarely have work throughout the year.

    2nd is correct: Structural Unemployment: It is a category of unemployment arising from the mismatch between the jobs available in the market and the skills of the available workers in the market.

    • Many people in India do not get jobs due to lack of requisite skills and due to poor education level, it becomes difficult to train them.

    3rd is correct: Frictional Unemployment: The Frictional Unemployment also called as Search Unemployment, refers to the time lag between the jobs when an individual is searching for a new job or is switching between the jobs.

    • In other words, an employee requires time for searching a new job or shifting from the existing to a new job, this inevitable time delay causes frictional unemployment.
