What is it about?
In the post COVID-19 period while unemployment is quite visible as a sign of an unhealthy economy, underemployment, on the other hand, is like a latent and passive manifestation of the same. It will put many workers in a disadvantageous position in terms of working hours, reduced salary, underutilization of skills and expertise resulting further into various kinds of Individual, interpersonal and organizational challenges.

Why is it important?
Our findings indicated that underemployment will have negative consequences not only for individual who is experiencing but it is harmful for organizational as well as economy on the whole. The results will create awareness for organization and policy makers who can introduce practices to mitigate socio-economic difficulties and psychological stress among people.
Perspectives
I think this research article will provide a comprehensive review on the concept of underemployment, its types and consequences. Though unemployment is a key indicator in measuring the health of the economy yet in COVID-19 scenario, it is equally important to measure underemployment as well.
