Seems like its studied and there are many types of underemployment and they each have difference causes. Its probably tracked somewhere by economists.

Heh, "it's probably tracked somewhere by economists". The more I learn about economics as a "science" the more I balk at the idea of giving them the benefit of the doubt, which people seem really willing to do for some reason. I know, it's scary that the economy might be a complex system that nobody understands, and it's easier to have "faith" that there is some shadowy economic cabal of god-kings who are keeping a watchful eye on it. But,.. yeah, that doesn't seem to be true, honestly.
