Option 1

 * Article title
 * Discouraged worker


 * Article Evaluation
 * Overall the article is written from a neutral perspective and citations appear to come from credible and relevant sources. In the sections dealing specifically to Canada and European Union there are links lacking to to other wikipedia pages (ex: EUROSTAT, European Labour Force Survey). No actual numbers/data are shown for Canada despite there being data for both US and EU. EU data shown is from 2012 and could likely stand to be updated as it is approaching 10 years old now.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Underemployment


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article seems as thought it was given a good initial effort to put together but is lacking in completion. In general the article is severely lacking in citations with the section on "underuse of employed workers" being the worst having zero citations within it. After reviewing the talk page and revision history it seems there have been a few updates to citations in the last year but there is still much more needed.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Human capital


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article is overall well written but as you get deeper into the subtopics the citations become fewer and further between. Section "Importance" overall seems to need citations or edits as the way it reads might not be original language and be paraphrasing and/or straight copying from original sources. Would have to look deeper into the sources cited to see for sure though.
