Q1. Disguised unemployment generally means
Explanation
Disguised unemployment occurs when more workers are employed than necessary, contributing little to no additional output. In such cases, removing some workers would not impact overall productivity. This condition is commonly observed in the agricultural sector of developing countries, where labor redundancy is prevalent. The defining characteristic of disguised unemployment is zero marginal productivity of labor, meaning additional workers do not increase output.
