Question : Which of the following factors does NOT contribute to disguised unemployment?
Option 1: Lack of job opportunities
Option 2: Underutilization of labor
Option 3: Overstaffing in a sector
Option 4: Insufficient capital investment
Correct Answer: Insufficient capital investment
Solution : The correct answer is (d) Insufficient capital investment
Disguised unemployment refers to a situation where more people are engaged in a task or job than required, leading to underutilization of labor without a corresponding increase in productivity. It is typically observed in sectors or activities where there is surplus labor, and individuals could be removed from the workforce without affecting overall output. Factors such as lack of job opportunities, underutilization of labor, and overstaffing in a sector can contribute to disguised unemployment, but insufficient capital investment is not directly related to this concept.
