 WHAT IS UNEMPLOYMENT ?
Unemployment refers to the state of being unemployed or not having a job i.e.
joblessness. A person is said to be unemployed if he or she is looking for work or is
willing to work at the prevailing wage but is unable to find the job.

When a person is failed to get any job and unable to found the means of livelihood,
we call him an unemployed person. Thus, unemployment means lack of absence of
employment. In other word unemployment is largely concerned with those persons
who constitute the labor force of the country, who are able bodied and willing to
work, but they are gainfully employed. Unemployment, therefore, is the lack of
earning or idleness on the part of a person who is able to work.
 SITUATION IN INDIA
Our country is set to be progressing by leaps and bounds in the matter of
economy but this progress is low sided that the net results is the sharp increase
in the number of unemployed. Population of our country India is increasing day
by day. It is the second highest populous country in the world. Today, we have
over 1.15 billion people in our country and so is the increasing unemployment
rate. Today, we have both educated and uneducated unemployed people. We
have skilled and unskilled unemployed youths both in the urban and the rural
areas. Even degree holders are unemployed.
 TYPES OF UNEMPLOYMENT
 DISGUISED UNEMPLOYMENT

Disguised unemployment implies that many workers are engaged in productive work. For
example, in Indian villages, where most of unemployment exists in this form, people are found
to be apparently engaged in agricultural works. But such employment is mostly a work sharing
device i.e., the existing work is shared by the large number of workers. In such a situation, even
if many workers are withdrawn, the same work will continue to be done by fewer people.
It follows that all the workers are not needed to maintain the existing level of production. The
contribution of such workers to production is nothing. It is found that the very large numbers of
workers on Indian farms actually hinder agricultural works and thereby reduce production.
 SEASONAL UNEMPLOYMENT

Seasonal unemployment occurs at certain seasons of the year. It is a widespread

phenomenon of Indian villages basically associated with agriculture. Since
agricultural work depends upon Nature, therefore, in a certain period of the year
there is heavy work, while in the rest, the work is lean. For example, in the sowing
and harvesting period, the agriculturists may to engage themselves day and night.
But the period between the post harvest and pre sowing is almost workless,
rendering many without work. Thus, seasonal unemployment is largely visible after
the end of agricultural works.
 EDUCATIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT

In India the situation is at present moment very much to be seen when people
who are educated do not get any employment it is known as educational
unemployment. There are various factors responsible for it. Sometimes the
lesser number of avenues of employment as compared to the persons coming
out of the educational institutions are responsible for this situation.
