Detailed Solution

A few causes of rural unemployment are:
1)      Lack of proper education and skills: Proper education and skills required for employment are not provided in rural areas.
2)      More stress on the family occupation of farming: Family members are expected to assist in production rather than go for other occupations. This might lead to underemployment as few are required to work on farms.
3)      Less industrialization in rural areas: Industries are not set up in rural areas because of one important reason, which is a lack of resources.
4)      Fewer job opportunities in rural areas: Other than farming, there are few job opportunities for young people.
5)      Lack of infrastructure: Improper infrastructure and a lack of proper electricity are other reasons for rural unemployment. Industries do not set up their plants because of a lack of adequate infrastructure, which leads to a lack of employment opportunities.
