Explanation:

Types of Unemployment in India
Disguised Unemployment:
-It is a phenomenon wherein more people are employed than actually needed.
-It is primarily traced in the agricultural and the unorganised sectors of India.

Seasonal Unemployment:
-It is an unemployment that occurs during certain seasons of the year.
-Agricultural labourers in India rarely have work throughout the year.

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 job due to lack of requisite skills and due to poor education level, it becomes difficult to train them.

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 the frictional unemployment. It is often considered as a voluntary unemployment because it is not caused due to the shortage of job, but in fact, the workers themselves quit their jobs in search of better opportunities.
