Question : 28

In case of disguised unemployment, which of the following will hold true

  1. Marginal productivity of capital will be zero
  2. Productivity of labour will be less
Select the correct answer using the code given below:

a) Both (i) & (ii)

b) (i) only

c) (ii) only

d) Neither (i) nor (ii)

Answer: (c)

Disguised unemployment arises because more labourers work in the factory/land than are required. And hence productivity

i.e. production per unit of labour will be less. So, (ii) statement is correct.

In such a case, if we add more capital then production may increase but if we add more labour then production will not increase.

So, Marginal Productivity of capital = $\text"change in production"/\text"change in capital"$ will be positive

But, Marginal Productivity of labour = $\text"change in production"/\text" change in labour"$ will be zero
