Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

While structural and disguised unemployment are both highly prevalent in developing economies, the primary structural nature of the Indian labor market—characterized by a mismatch between the skills offered by workers and the skills demanded by employers—makes structural unemployment the predominant macroeconomic characterisation overall. Note that disguised unemployment is specific to the agricultural framework.
