Solution
Lack of alternative occupations
Explanation:
Agriculture, which is the main occupation, cannot absorb the increasing population pressure on land and is seasonal. Moreover, joint family systems and the habit of staying at home also contribute, along with the extensive use of agricultural machinery, which reduces the need for labour. This leads to surplus labor and unemployment in rural regions.
