Explanation:

1.Disguised unemployment is primarily traced in the agricultural and the unorganised sectors of the economy. As the primary sector of the Indian economy, Agriculture provides employment to almost 51% of the total population. 

2.Non-economic goods are called free goods because they are free gifts of nature. They do not have any price and are unlimited in supply. Examples of non-economic goods are air, water, sunshine, etc.
3.There is a fall in death rate and improvement in longevity; this leads to population growth.In the third phase death rates plateau and replacement level of fertility is attained but the population growth continues because of the large size of population in reproductive age group.
The labour of an unemployed worker is lost forever for that day when he does not work. Labour can neither be postponed nor accumulated for the next day. It will perish.
