What is the difference between disguised unemployment and seasonal unemployment?
Disguised unemployment: When more persons are working in a job than actually
required, the situation is termed as disguised unemployment. For example, if in
an agricultural activity eight people are engaged but this work/activity
actually requires the services of five people, then three persons are extra. If
these three people out of eight are withdrawn, total production will remain
unaffected.
Seasonal unemployment: Seasonal unemployment occurs when people are able to find
jobs only during some months of the year. For 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.
