Types and Causes of Unemployment

The video tutorial by Miniseti discusses five types of unemployment: disguised, structural, frictional, cyclical, and seasonal. Disguised unemployment occurs when more people are employed than needed, often in agriculture. Structural unemployment arises from a mismatch between skills and job availability. Frictional unemployment happens during job transitions. Cyclical unemployment is linked to economic cycles, increasing during recessions. Seasonal unemployment affects jobs dependent on specific seasons, like agriculture and ice cream production. The video concludes with a recap of these concepts.
