Q. The ‘disguised unemployment’ generally means:
Answer: The marginal productivity of the workers is zero.
Notes: The marginal productivity of workers under the disguised unemployment is almost zero. For example, if a farmer has a plot of four acres and he needs two workers to execute different types of actions in his farm, but if he takes five members (wife, children) of his family to work, this situation is known as disguised unemployment. Because the productivity of the other three here is zero.
