Question

What is the difference between disguised unemployment and seasonal unemployment?

Accepted Answer

Disguised Unemployment Seasonal Unemployment

In disguised unemployment, people appear to be employed, but actually, they are not. In seasonal unemployment, people are not able to find jobs for a particular period of the year.

They are not getting paid according to their skill and potential and thereby add little to productivity.

Ex: In an agricultural family, eight people are working and only four are enough to complete the task. So, if we remove these extra four people from the farm, it will not affect the productivity, rather these people can be employed according to their talent so that they are not employed in a disguised manner.

They only enjoy a handsome amount for a limited period of time.

Ex: People dependent on agriculture face such issues. They are certainly occupied in a particular season in various activities such as sowing, harvesting, weeding, and thrashing. Once, they are done and the crop is in its growing phase, then for that period, they don't have much work. As a result, they appear seasonally unemployed.
