| Abstract: | The paper starts with a critique of the various concepts of unemployment and underemployment from which follows the framework in which the author seeks to investigate and estimate unemployment and underemployment. Unemployment is broken down into various categories so that one can know the composition of the agricultural unemployed and underemployed. All the previous estimates had failed to provide such information. In the rest of the paper various estimates are made and implications discussed in the contest of the framework outlined and using first hand information from a survey of some villages conducted by the author himself. |
