CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Human beings engage in various works in order to satisfy their wants. In
producing human wants (goods and services) land, labour, capital and
entrepreneur are utilized, for this purpose labour being the most dynamic
factor of production, combines with the other factors to produce goods and
services for consumption of full utilized. If labour is unutilized, or
underutilized then there will be unemployment in the society. Unemployment as
the name implies get its origin from the word employment. Unemployment is
traceable to the period of industrialization which brought higher standard of
living than had ever previously been enjoyed. Before this period the people of
the primitive community were usually self sufficient and had no unemployment
problems, though they had no accept a very low standard of living. Than
production was through manual effort.
Jesseful (1994) in the Nigerian journal of economic and social studies said
that “some unemployment started with the introduction of money market by the
colonial master to substitute or after the subsistence economy which our people
were conversant with. Wage earning employment was then introduced by the
colonial master in their bid to add Nigeria raw material for export where they
are sold at profitable price.
The civil war period provided job for many in the armed forces, but the
magnitude of the unemployment increase after civil war, because of the effect
that majority of the unemployed are young workers entering the labour market
for the first time after receiving education. To pursue their aspiration and
value, they did not have enough education and practical training to provide
them with “skills” these school leavers prefer white caller job to farming. The
government could not employ someone because of lack of job opportunity while
the population of the working force was increasing; there was no commeasure
increase in the job creation.
According to Oduniyi (1985) unemployment rate in December (1985) was 9.8
percent in Nigeria while Bendel state now Edo state and delta state urban area
15.14 percent and the rural area has 7.2 percent unemployment rate
respectively.
Former president of Nigeria association of chambers of commence industries
mines and agriculture and chief Adeyemi once said that “the problem of graduate
unemployment in the country can be traced to wrong educational and economic
policy”
Our educational policy is such that our institutions of higher learning produce
graduates in liberal arts and social scientist in high numbers more than any
other discipline.
By 1972 when free education at all level was introduced there was increased in
graduate and school leavers in the state without a corresponding increase.
