Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
Unemployment is a key index of economic slack and lost output. But it is not distributed in
proportion to people’s ability to face it. It affects painfully the young, women, the unskilled as
well as semiskilled, the black person, the older people, and underemployed people in rural
areas.
The unemployment among specific groups means greater costs to society that can be
calculated easily in hours of idleness or dollars of income lost. The other costs include
disturbance of the careers and increased juvenile delinquency.
There is another cost of unemployment. For labour’s, continuous unemployment results in
“share-the-work” pressures for shorter hours and escalate resistance to technological
advances. On business side, the shortcomings of markets result in attempts to raise prices to
cover increased costs and to pressures for protection against buying products from abroad
