| Consider the following sentences: |
| 1. Seasonal employment results in large scale migration of the agricultural labourers from agriculturally backward regions to that of the developed regions. |
| 2. In seasonal unemployment, once the seasons are over, the agricultural workers, especially landless labourers and marginal farmers remain unemployed. Which of the sentences given above is/are correct? |
A) 1 only
B) 2 only
C) Both 1 and 2
D) None of the above
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Agriculture does not provide employment round the year. It is also known as perennial unemployment. Sowing and harvesting season ranges between five and seven months. For the rest of the period the cultivator has to remain idle. Experts believe that an Indian cultivator remains unemployed for five to six months. When the next sowing season starts he again goes back to cultivation. Therefore, it is called seasonal unemployment.
