Influence of Unemployment on Labour Market Outcomes Among Nigerian Youths
Economics — 2025, Undergraduate
This study investigated the influence of unemployment on labour market outcomes among Nigerian youths. A descriptive survey design was adopted with questionnaires administered to graduates and job seekers in selected states. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The findings revealed that high unemployment was associated with longer job search periods, underemployment, and declining human capital as young workers accepted precarious informal work. The study found that skills mismatch and limited labour market information worsened outcomes. It recommends skills development, entrepreneurship support, and improved job matching mechanisms.
