Question

Which type of unemployment primarily affects educated persons in urban areas?

Options

• Disguised unemployment

• Seasonal unemployment

• Underemployment affecting rural workers

• Educated unemployment

Answer 1

Educated unemployment refers to a situation where educated persons are unable to find jobs suited to their qualifications. This type is predominantly an urban phenomenon where educated youth, despite having formal qualifications, cannot secure appropriate employment matching their skill levels. This represents a mismatch between the qualifications possessed and the jobs available in the market.
