1. Cyclical unemployment - occurs when there is a decline in aggregate demand (AD) that causes people to lose their jobs. Keynesian unemployment, general unemployment, or demand deficient unemployment are all terms used to describe persistent declines in aggregate demand. Companies retort to a reduction in demand for their services and goods by plummeting the output, requiring staff declines within the entity. In actuality, laborers are laid off. Example: unemployment as a result of the 2008-2010 recession. In most cases, cyclical unemployment is a shot-run phenomenon; and are affected by market cycles.

2. Structural unemployment - occurs when certain industries experience decline as a result of long-term shifts in market conditions. Either the demand for a factor of production or the supply of a factor are impacted by significant shifts in the economic structure. Primary Business is a characteristic result of financial turn of events, mechanical progression and Development that are occurring quickly all around the world in each circle. For instance, new industries like high-tech manufacturing, information technology (IT), computing, insurance, and internet-based businesses have emerged as older industries have declined. However, in contrast to jobs in manufacturing, these new industries may require a different set of skills, which may result in structural unemployment.

3. Classical - Traditional Unemployment is caused when wages are 'too' high. This clarification of Unemployment ruled monetary hypothesis before the 1930s, when laborers themselves were faulted for not tolerating lower compensation, or for requesting too high a pay. Real wage unemployment is another name for classical unemployment.

4. Seasonal unemployment - is caused by the fact that some industries only manufacture or sell their goods at certain times of the year. Construction, agriculture, and tourism are among the industries where seasonal unemployment is common. Ex: After winter is over, ski resort employees will lose their jobs, and tourist guides in an Indian hill station will likely lose their jobs after summer, when there are fewer tourists. Another illustration of this might be found in the agricultural industry, where the need for workers is greater during harvesting than at any other time of the year.

5. The term "frictional unemployment," - which is also referred to as "search unemployment," refers to the situation in which workers lose their current employment but are still searching for one. Other than providing better information to speed up the search, there may be little that can be done to reduce this kind of unemployment. This suggests that there can never be zero unemployment because some workers will always be looking for new employment.

6. Voluntary unemployment - is when workers decide not to work at the current equilibrium wage rate. Voluntary unemployment is defined as this type of unemployment. Workers may choose not to participate in the labor market for a variety of reasons. There are a number of factors that contribute to voluntary unemployment, some of which include excessively generous welfare benefits and high income tax rates.

7. Disguised unemployment - occurs when more people are working than is actually needed. Production does not suffer even if some are withdrawn. To put it another way, it refers to a situation in which there is an employment surplus and some workers have zero marginal productivity. The primary causes of India's disguised unemployment may be overcrowding in agriculture as a result of the country's rapid population growth and a lack of alternative employment options.

8. Educated Unemployment - Aside from open unemployment, many educated people are underemployed because their skills do not match the job. Unemployment among educated youth in India is primarily caused by deficiencies in the education system, mass output, a preference for white collar jobs, a lack of employable skills, and a decline in formal salaried jobs.

9. Technological unemployment - is caused by changes in production methods that may not require as much labor. Current innovation being capital concentrated requires less Workers and adds to this sort of Unemployment.

10. Casual unemployment - Short-term contracts, a lack of raw materials, a drop in demand, a change in ownership, and other factors can all lead to casual unemployment, which is when a person is employed on a day-to-day basis.

11. Chronic unemployment - In the event that Unemployment keeps on being a drawn out component of a country, it is called persistent Unemployment. Chronic unemployment is primarily brought on by a vicious cycle of poverty, rapid population growth, and inadequate economic development.
