77. (b) How social statistics give an unclear picture of the degree of hardship caused by low wages and insufficient employment opportunities (Because throughout the passage the author has explained that social statistics do not give clear picture of the poverty)
78. (d) Shortages of jobs providing adequate income (Because the first para after talking about the labour market problems talks about the "consequences of joblessness")
79. (b) unemployment now has less severe effects (Because the first para tells that "Unemployment does not have the same dire consequences today as it did in the 1930’s when most of the unemployed were primary breadwinners")
80. (c) New statistical indices should be developed to measure the degree to which unemployment and inadequately paid employment cause suffering (Because the author is pointing out the shortcoming of the various statistical methods for judging the poverty, unemployment and under-employment)
81. (b) unemployment statistics can underestimate the hardship resulting from joblessness (Because the second para tells that "repeated or prolonged unemployment" is not counted by the unemployment statistics)
82. (a) the employed poor (Because the second para tells that "income transfers" focus on elderly people and have neglected the "needs of the working poor")
83. (c) prevalence, among low-wage workers and the unemployed, of members of families in which others are employed (Because the first para tells that " the overwhelming majority are from multiple earner, relatively affluent families" suggesting the statistical method count these people also as facing economic hardship)
84. (d) at different times during the year, different people are unemployed (Because the second para tells that "those who suffer as a result of forced idleness can equal or exceed average annual unemployment" suggesting that this figure could be high because different people can be temporarily unemployed at different times of the year)
85. (a) A short-term increase in the number of those in poverty can indicate a shortage of jobs because the basic number of those unable to accept employment remains approximately constant (Because this would lead to wrong interpretation of the poverty and unemployment statistics)
