Shri Raj Krishna Committee Report 2011-12 has given four measures to know the nature and types of unemployment as follows:
- Time: Getting work for less than 28 hours a week is said to be intensively unemployed, whereas getting work for more than 28 hours and less than 42 hours a weak is considered as less intense unemployed.
- Income: A person getting very less income which cannot solve his poverty is poor from income point of view.
- Willingness: A person does not get job as per his eligibility and gets very less income from the job then he is underemployed.
- Productivity: When a labourer is working with less than his actual efficiency then production is less than that of his productive capacity.
