Yes, I agree with the statement.
- Underemployment arises when employed persons contribute less than their capacity.
- In rural areas, on the farms, labourers work for 2-3 hours a day and since alternative jobs are not available, they remain idle for the rest of the day.
- In urban areas, because of the shortage of employment, when qualified persons do not get jobs as per their qualifications, they accept either lowpaid or part-time jobs.
- Hence, in both rural and urban areas underemployment is found, although it is more in rural areas.
