SURVEY OF YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT IN IGBESA COMMUNITY OF OGUN STATE NIGERIA
Abstract
Democracy provides a veritable platform for the entrenchment and consolidation of people's welfare through institutional arrangements. However the current democratic experience in Nigeria is yet to engender the much anticipated good governance. This is reflective in the deepening massive youth unemployment, incidence of unpaid salaries by about 50% States in the Federation, deteriorating social institutions and structures culminating in pervasive poverty situation. Avalanche of literature and researches on unemployment situations are largely urban focused. This study adopts qualitative survey method to probe the subject of the study in a rural setting. The study observed that unemployment is antithetical to development as many of the vices plaguing the country are traceable to the menace of unemployment. The paper recommends among other things massive investment in Agricultural business and small and medium enterprises (SMEs).Vocational ventures should be made more enticing to the youth through direct support programs by the Government at various levels.
