Question:

Which type of unemployment is mostly found in urban areas?

Options:

Educated unemployment

Cyclic unemployment

Open unemployment

Seasonal unemployment

Correct Answer:

Educated unemployment

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - Educated unemployment

Educated unemployment, often referred to as "educated" or "white-collar" unemployment, is prevalent in urban areas where there is a higher concentration of educated individuals seeking employment opportunities. This type of unemployment occurs when individuals, despite possessing educational qualifications and skills, are unable to find suitable jobs matching their qualifications. Factors contributing to educated unemployment in urban areas may include a mismatch between job market demands and available skills, rapid urbanization, and limited job opportunities in certain sectors.
