 Unemployment that does not affect aggregate output. Disguised unemployment exists where part of the labor force is either left without work or is working in a redundant manner where worker productivity is essentially zero. An economy demonstrates disguised unemployment where productivity is low and where too many workers are filling too few jobs.

Disguised unemployment exists frequently in developing countries whose large populations create a surplus in the labor force. Where more people are working than is necessary, the overall productivity of each individual drops. Disguised unemployment is characterized by low productivity and frequently accompanies informal labor markets and agricultural labor markets, which can absorb substantial quantities of labor

Disguised unemployment means that the marginal product of labour is zero. In other words, there too many people employed in the activity, so that if you remove some of them, the productivity will stay the same. For instance, there are four hammers available in the carpenter shop, but there are six workers. Two of those workers are non-productive (since they do not have the tools) and could be withdrawn from the shop with affecting the overall productivity.

hope so this help u

thumbs up plz...
