1. The situation of underemployment could be understand as each one is doing some work, but no one is fully employed. 

2. Here people are apparently working but all of them are made to work less than their potential. 

3. This underemployment has different areas facets in rural and urban areas. 

4. In rural areas this could be clearly understood from the example of disguised unemployment. 

5. Though there is need of 2 persons for the land they have, the entire family of village formers depend on agriculture, which will not sufficiently provide work. 

6. In urban areas also people work as casual labour in many factories. If there is demand, the factories give them opportunities and if there is no demand, the people are asked to go back without work.
