Book excerpt: The study examines the socio-economic implications of the rising youth unemployment for the growth and development of the Nigerian economy. This has become imperative due to the seemingly unsolvable rising youth unemployment with the attendant rising criminal activities in Nigeria. The problem of violent crimes in Nigeria has been exacerbated by the high rate of unemployment, reckless impunities being perpetuated by those in position of leadership, wide-gap in the socio-economic inequality and economic hardship which has pushed many jobless youths, most of whom are graduates, into various deadly crimes such as murder, drug peddling, armed robbery, kidnapping, prostitution, raping and terrorism plaguing Nigeria in this 2014. Consequently, the endemic systematic corruption, epileptic electricity supply, deepening insecurity, especially the proliferation and increasing radicalization of non-state armed groups such as Boko Haram, rising unemployment and high poverty level, kidnapping, leadership question and the deplorable state of infrastructures, inability of several poverty reduction programmes to address the high and debilitating poverty levels in the nation among others, necessitated this paper. A historical analysis technique was adopted. Deprivation Theory of Ted Gurr was used to explain why and what makes youths to engage in violent crimes against the state and the society. It has been observed that currently, terrorism has taken the centre stage resulting in horrible bloodshed, destruction of property leading to increasing internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugee's camps with their attendant serious economic and socio-political set-backs. The causes are not farfetched as studies have associated rising youth unemployment and extreme religious fanaticism to increase of violent crime in Nigeria. In summary, the study concluded that if factors that create the feelings of deprivation, repression and frustration (with emphasis on unemployment and extreme religious fanaticism) are addressed, youths will not engage in violent crimes against the society as they say 'an idle mind is the devils workshop.' The study consequently, recommends among others things, that Nigeria being a multi-ethnic, multi-religious, and multi-cultural society; and a mono-economy, depending on oil for over 90% of her foreign exchange earnings, requires sound leadership that places importance on spatial development, courageous, selfless, not corrupt, committed, determined, and persistent to be able to have a heartfelt realization of the objectives of its development plans, and diversify the productive base of the Nigerian economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public debate in Nigeria on the country s progress since its return to democracy in 1999 has been dominated by two seemingly opposite themes. The first theme is the strong growth performance of the non-oil economy. This success has been marked by sharp increases in agriculture, trade, and construction and by the emergence of new industries in the financial, telecommunications, and entertainment sectors, supported by sound macroeconomic policies and structural reforms. The second, opposing theme is the seeming failure of Nigeria s much improved economic performance to reduce unemployment, especially among the young. Rising levels of unemployment have increased militancy among the young and impacted negatively on public order. 'Putting Nigeria to Work: A Strategy for Employment and Growth' looks at the ways in which Nigeria s improved economic performance has impacted the labor market. A number of relevant factors are carefully examined and analyzed, including industrial policy and the investment environment, the effects of restrictive trade policies on growth, and the ability of the technical and vocational education system to address the country s skills gap. The book proposes a strategy that will allow Nigeria to increase the availability of quality jobs, reduce rising youth unemployment, and sustain and further accelerate the country s economic performance and growth. At the core of this strategy are targeted interventions aimed at removing binding constraints to growth in sectors of the economy that are already growing fast, but have the potential to grow faster and have significant employment-creating potential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Economy - Environment economics, University of Ibadan (Economics), course: Accounting, language: English, abstract: This study was carried out to examine the causes of unemployment in Nigeria and its effects on the economy of the country. Data were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria, Statistical Bulletin (2017), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Internet, CIA site, Index Mundi and past studies. The study covered period of 18 years, 1999 to 2017. EViews version 7 was used to analyze the data gathered, while Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method was adopted. This study discovered that the unemployment in Nigeria is the major contribution to the poverty level in the country. Money supply and credit to private sector were recognized to have significant effect on unemployment level in the economy. It is also discovered that gross domestic product and unemployment rate in Nigeria has positive relationship which is an indication that growth in GDP does not amount to overall development in Nigeria. This study recommends that government should make credit available to private sector, increase money in circulation and try to reduce external debt which drain away the wealth of the nation through interest payments to reduce poverty rate in Nigeria.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study which focused on examining the imminent implications of translating Nigeria's economic performance on the nation's unemployment problems is bent on assessing how Nigeria's current economic status as the biggest economy in Africa has affected its rate of unemployment. Adopting data extracts from various published statistical bulletins of the CBN, SEC, and the NBS reports, the Pearson Correlation was employed in executing the analysis carried out in this study using the SPSS version 20 statistical software. The result of the analysis showed that Nigeria's celebrated feat as the biggest economy in Africa appear yet to have had any meaningful impact on the rising/high rate of youth unemployment. This is in view of the fact that the rate of unemployment (from the analysis) maintained an increasing/upward slope status even as the economy of the country increases in growth. The study therefore recommends that a positive translation approach be deployed in ensuring that the huge output of the country's celebrated GDP growth is commendably felt by its unemployment sector. Accountability and transparency, instead of corruption, need be selflessly embraced by the country's leadership if this resolve is to be achieved.

Ross Fergusson and Nicola Yeates argue that only by incorporating analysis of the dynamics of the global economy and global governance can we make convincing, comprehensive sense of these developments. The authors present substantial new evidence spanning a century pointing to the strong relationships between youth unemployment, globalisation, economic crises and consequent harms to young people’s social and economic welfare worldwide. The book notably encompasses data and analysis spanning the Global South as well as the Global North.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While overall unemployment has declined, the unemployment rate remains nearly twice as high for young people 16 to 19 years of age and nearly three times as high for those aged 20 to 24. Rates of unemployment and underemployment are nearly two to three times higher for Black and Latino youth. In Youth, Jobs, and the Future, Lynn S. Chancer, Martín Sánchez-Jankowski, and Christine Trost have gathered a cast of well-known interdisciplinary scholars to confront the persistent issues of youth unemployment and worsening socio-economic precarity in the United States. The book explores structural and cultural causes of youth unemployment, their ramifications for both native and immigrant youth, and how middle- and working-class youth across diverse races and ethnicities are affected within and outside the legal economy. A needed contribution, this book locates solutions to youth unemployment in economic and political changes as well as changes in cultural attitudes.

Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2022 in the subject Economics - Job market economics, grade: A, University of Calabar (Faculty of Arts & Social Science Education), course: The Structure and Organization of Social Studies and New Education Initiatives, language: English, abstract: This paper explores the effectiveness of entrepreneurship in job creation, hence, underlining the importance of the MSMEs sub-sector in the socioeconomic development of the Nigerian economy. Nowadays, the burden of job creation is not solely placed on the shoulders of the government alone but, has become a joint-venture effort between the public and private sectors. On this premise, the paper seeks an enduring answer to this prevalent phenomenon in entrepreneurship development. So, the paper is divided into subheadings, covering the introduction, conceptual explications, theoretical discourse on MSMEs as the driving force of socioeconomic development, and the role of entrepreneurship in the socioeconomic development of Nigeria. The paper concludes by noting that, the transformation of Nigeria's education system into entrepreneurial-based is a way of empowering the young generations with practical skills that could help them become self-reliant (self-employed), thus reducing the increasing social vices and consequences of unemployment. Among others, it was recommended to incorporate entrepreneurship in our school curriculum where vocational subjects would become compulsory right from Upper Basic Education level through tertiary education level to train, prepare, and develop the economic mindset of the younger generations and decrease the high level of unemployment.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Sociology - Law, Delinquency, Abnormal Behavior, grade: 4.0, University of Benin, language: English, abstract: The work determines if the economic recession in Nigeria has any influence on criminal behaviour amongst youths. The specific objectives of this research are to identify the causes of recession, to determine the social implications of economic recession on the society, to ascertain the increase in the level of crime amongst youths in economic recession and to ascertain the patterns of crime committed by youths in periods of economic downturn. The author examines the influence the downturn of the economic had on the criminal behaviour among youths, most especially those based in Benin City, Edo State Nigeria. Therefore, data from pre-economic recession to post-economic period recession has been analysed. A combination of a longitudinal and cross sectional study survey was used in order to gather the needed data from subjects, newspapers and crime statistics. The author discovered that the fall in the price of crude oil and poor economic policy were the major causes of economic recession in the period. During this period there were closure of businesses resulting from low patronage and high cost of doing business in the country. There was a high rate of unemployment which resulted tin social instability and youth restiveness in the state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the economic and financial crisis of 2008, the proportion of unemployed young people has exceeded any other group of unemployed adults. This phenomenon marks the emergence of a laborscape. This concept recognizes that, although youth unemployment is not consistent across the world, it is a coherent problem in the global political economy. This book examines this crisis of youth unemployment, drawing on international case studies. It is organized around four key dimensions of the crisis: precarity, flexibility, migration, and policy responses. With contributions from leading experts in the field, the chapters offer a dynamic portrait of unemployment and how this is being challenged through new modes of resistance. This book provides cross-national comparisons, both ethnographic and quantitative, to explore the contours of this laborscape on the global, national, and local scales. Throughout these varied case studies is a common narrative from young workers, families, students, volunteers, and activists facing a new and growing problem. This book will be an imperative resource for students and researchers looking at the sociology of globalization, global political economy, labor markets, and economic geography.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive review was undertaken of the serious problem of youth unemployment in the countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (most of the countries of Europe and the United States), and the means for dealing with it in the longer term. The study found that youth unemployment has been a major concern since the mid-1970s, rising with each downturn of the economy, and failing to recover with economic recovery. Today, unemployment for disadvantaged youth has increased, but so has unemployment among better-educated and better-trained young people, especially for those born in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Labor force participation rates for youth have dropped in nearly all the countries, especially among teenagers. Young women have experienced similar rates of unemployment as young men; however, causes are subtle and often relate to the types of jobs for which girls are trained. Nations should adapt policies to help youths find employment. One solution is economic growth, but even an annual growth of 4 percent will not solve the youth umemployment problem for about five years. Consequently, shorter-term policies, such as school or travel grants or government-sponsored jobs, are needed to help youth. Especially at risk are disabled youth, whose unemployment problem is even worse than that of the disadvantaged. Additionally, sex-fair educational practices should be started to help young women prepare for careers. Youth unemployment is a very serious problem that cannot be ignored by the countries of the OECD. The appendices consist of an article by L. C. Hunter (The Role of Labour Demand in Youth Employment and Unemployment) and an OECD committee report. (KC)
