CHAPTER ONE
The rate at which unemployed
N.C.E. graduates roam the street in Edo State without a job has begun to draw
the attention of both government and public individuals. It is important to
know the meaning of the “unemployment” in order to fully understand the causes
and effect. According to Ihingan (1980), unemployment is spreading with
urbanization and education. But the industrial sector has failed to expand
along the growth of labour force thereby increasing urban unemployment. He went
further to say that there are educated unemployed graduates who fail to get
jobs due to structural rigidities and lack of entrepreneurial skills.
A person is s aid to be
unemployed if in spite of his willingness and capacity to work, he cannot do
owing to reasons inherent in organization of commodity product. This is a state
of affairs in the labour market where the supply of labour is greater than the
available resources.
According to Harvey (1985),
unemployment exists when people are capable and willing to work but not able to
find suitable paid employment. The problems of unemployment date back to the
year 1930, even before the great world economic depression. In Nigeria,
specifically Edo State by the year 1960, school leavers secured jobs with
relative eased, skilled labour especially NCE graduates was scarce and
difficult to come by and it was the employers who looked for them. However, it
must be emphasized that this research is concerned with unemployable frictional
unemployment, as it relates to unemployed NCE graduates n Edo
State.
a). Unemployment
is on the increase
b). Many NCE
graduates are unemployed
c). There is
mass production of NCE graduates who do not have relevant skills.
