Answer –
Disguised unemployment is a situation when people are working but all of them are made to work less than their potential is called disguised unemployment.
For example: If only four persons are required to cultivate a farm but actually eight are working on that farm, in this case four persons are disguisedly unemployed.

- There is lack of job opportunities in rural area outside agriculture that’s why most of the families are still dependent on agriculture as their main source of living.
