Detailed Solution

Lack of skill and education, domination of the primary sector, and lack of industrialisation are the causes of rural unemployment in India.
Rural unemployment is the most significant cause of a lack of education and skills. Rural populations must acquire more education and skills to be employed in any firm. Even if someone has enough skills and education, they cannot find work because industries need to be set up in rural areas. They must do everyday work in construction sites, agricultural fields, and small-scale industries for minimum wages. Most of the population is engaged in primary activities, employing the most significant section of casual labourers. So, the possibility of unemployment is also more critical in this sector. Even after independence, more than 80% of people still depend on agriculture for survival. Thus, the chances of disguised unemployment are very high.
