Detailed Solution

In the primary sectors, workers feel underemployed.
In the primary sector, the problem of seasonal and disguised unemployment or underemployment is most prevalent. Seasonal unemployment refers to a period when people are unemployed for a season and are only employed for a season in which demand for labour is greater. Like in agriculture, the work is seasonal, so they are employed for work seasonally only and are free for the rest of the year. Whereas Disguised unemployment or underemployment refers to when more workers are employed than required and the workers are working less than their potential. It is prevalent in the primary sector because the primary sector bears most of the workforce, which is around more than 60% of the total workforce in India.
