Correct Answer: Structural unemployment


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Structural unemployment.

Structural unemployment arises due to a mismatch between the skills and qualifications of the workforce and the requirements of available job opportunities.

Structural unemployment typically occurs when there are changes in the structure of the economy, such as technological advancements, shifts in consumer preferences, or changes in the patterns of production. As a result, certain industries or occupations may experience a decline in demand for labor, while new industries or occupations may emerge, requiring different skill sets.
