    Types of Unemployment

    • Disguised Unemployment: It is a phenomenon wherein more people are employed than actually needed. It is primarily traced to the agricultural and unorganized sectors of India.

    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.

    Cyclical Unemployment: It is a result of the business cycle, where unemployment rises during recessions and declines with economic growth.

    • Cyclical unemployment figures in India are negligible. It is a phenomenon that is mostly found in capitalist economies.

    Technological Unemployment: It is the loss of jobs due to changes in technology.

    • In 2016, World Bank data predicted that the proportion of jobs threatened by automation in India is 69% year-on-year.

    Frictional Unemployment: Frictional Unemployment, also called Search Unemployment, refers to the time lag between the jobs when an individual is searching for a new job or is switching between jobs.
    Vulnerable Employment: This means people working informally, without proper job contracts and thus lacking any legal protection.

    • These people are deemed ‘unemployed’ since records of their work are never maintained.
    • It is one of the main types of unemployment in India.

    Hence option 4th is correct.
