Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unemployment among educated youths is a serious phenomenon in Nigeria. It constitutes a problem not only for the youths themselves but to the overall social, political and economic structures of the country. Therefore, it is important to conduct an empirical investigation on this issue in order to generate data which are needed in resolving youth unemployment. The present study aimed at examining the causes and consequences of unemployment among the educated youths in Kano, Nigeria. It also examined the reasons why some of them engaged in deviant behaviours. The role of government in eradicating this problem was also investigated. To ensure a comprehensive analysis of data, the study used a qualitative method. This involved in-depth interviews with 20 respondents whose responses were coded into themes according to the objectives of the study. The study revealed that unemployment among the respondents was triggered by a wide range of demographic, economic, social, psychological and cultural factors. Depending on the youths' psychological make-up and available resources, the findings show that unemployment had both detrimental and beneficial effects on the unemployed youths. In terms of negative outcomes, the results show that they suffered from poverty and experienced a wide range of health and psychological problems. Furthermore, some of them developed a negative outlook in life and became vulnerable to crime and deviation. However, unemployment also provided them an opportunity to be creative, resourceful and religious in order to cope with the crisis. In addition, the study also shows that despite the harsh effects of joblessness, very few were involved in deviant behaviours due to religiousity. The reasons for their involvement in crime and deviation are deprivation, frustration, feeling of rejection, lack of endurance and emotional trauma. Furthermore, the results also reveal that the government has a critical role to play in promoting the employability of educated youths. Therefore, the findings of the study call for a comprehensive and multi-dimensional approach to address the unemployment problem of this important segment of the Nigerian population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1980s, against the background of chronic unemployment in Britain, the particular plight of young people had come to be identified as a subject for special concern. Anxieties were expressed, as they were in the 1930s, as a twin concern for a waste of the nation’s resources and for the demoralization of youth, leading potentially to anti-social behaviour. Originally published in 1982, this volume of essays identifies a number of key issues in the pattern of state response to youth unemployment which had evolved in the inter-war and post-war periods. The contributors discuss a number of related themes, such as how the problem has been defined and created as a kind of ‘moral panic’, and how contemporary measures recapitulate the rhetoric and policies of pre-war interventions. They examine the relationship between youth unemployment measures and the education sector, the responses of the trade unions, and also consider how young people themselves respond to special programmes. A critical assessment is made of the further education elements in the special measures: in particular, the question is asked: do these young people need ‘social and life skills’ training? The book charts the changing nature of the state response to youth unemployment since 1974, and stresses throughout the inappropriate nature of ‘temporary’ amelioration of a long-term, even permanent, problem.

Download or read book The Crisis of Global Youth Unemployment written by Tamar Mayer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 208 pages. 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.

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.
