What is the meaning of 'underemployment' of agricultural labourers'?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Agricultural labourers are more often than not
paid below the statutory minimum wage and earn very little. Their incomes
are low. Their employment is insecure. Most agricultural labourers are
daily-wage workers. And do not have work for many days of the year. This is
known as underemployment.
