Question

The type of unemployment found in rural areas is ______.

Options

• open unemployment

• frictional unemployment

• seasonal unemployment

• educated unemployment

Answer 1

The type of unemployment found in rural areas is seasonal unemployment.

Explanation:

The main occupation in rural areas is seasonal in nature, causing workers to be unemployed during off-seasons. Additionally, there is a lack of alternative occupations in rural regions to absorb the labour force year-round. Hence, seasonal unemployment is prevalent in rural areas due to the periodic nature of agricultural activities and insufficient subsidiary employment options.
