Which of the following types of unemployment is found in India when people are employed for a certain period of a year in tourist resorts and various tourism-related activities in the mountain regions but are unemployed in off-seasons?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Seasonal unemployment.
The type of unemployment described is seasonal unemployment. In India, this occurs when people are employed in tourism-related activities, such as in tourist resorts and mountain regions, during peak seasons but face unemployment during the off-season. The demand for labour in these industries fluctuates with the seasons, leading to periods of unemployment for workers. This is common in areas dependent on agriculture, tourism, or other industries that experience seasonal variations in demand.
