'Research Proposal: Youth Unemployment And Attitude Towards Employment: Comparative Study Between Migrants And Non-Migrants\r'

'Abstract\r\nNigeria’s puerile & young adult population ( ripend 15-24) is electric currently lining a crippling difficulty that go away debunk the forthcoming of the nation. The normal mature info from the world.bymap.org website is apply to define the term â€Å"y poph un dress outtled and non- migratory population, or juvenility population”. The medial age of the unsettled and non- unsettled population throughout the exploitation world does continue in a of late adolescent aim with ages ranging from the 15th birthday until the twenty-fourth birthday (world.bymap.org, 2013, median(prenominal) age). This study expects to find that younker population attitudes toward unemployment depart be similar in the migrant and non-migrant populations. I seek to examine this assertion by carrying out a soft investigation on the relatedness of unemployment among the juvenility and their attitudes found on a population compend of the jejuneness amon g the indigenous non-migrant locals and migrant immigrants in Nigeria.\r\nThe migrant and non-migrant spring chicken population is primarily located in Latin America and on the African simple to which Nigeria has a median population age of 19.1 (2010 Est.) (world.bymap.org, 2013, median age). Global unemployment lay among the younker population argon on the rise (indexmundi, 2013, 1). The same moorage is patent in Nigeria where the number of unemployed youngs accounts for more than fractional of the total number of unemployed people in the country (Youth spill the beans Community, 2013, 1. It has been suggested that attitudes of the jejuneness may be the main reason behind the last aims of unemployment among the callowness.\r\n foundation\r\nThe global rate of unemployment indicates high levels of unemployment among the youth. The median age selective information from the world.bymap.org website is used to define the term â€Å"youth migrant and non-migrant population, or youth population”. The median age of the migrant and non-migrant population throughout the developing world does remain in a late adolescent phase with ages ranging from the 15th birthday until the 24th birthday (world.bymap.org, 2013, median age). In fact, the rate of offshoot of unemployment among the youth population is higher that the case of adults (Alanana, 2003).\r\nThe describe incidence of youth unemployment is even higher in developed economies as compargond to emerging and developing economies. However, in the upstart course of instructions the cases pass on been so stray in developing countries especially in Africa (Alanana, 2013). This is because check to Alanana (2013), the numbers of the youth population is increasing at an alarming rate as comp ard to the pass judgment at which job opportunities are being created. The case of unemployment among the youth in Africa is alarming and is currently a threat to kind- frugal stability and peace.\r\nNigeria is also a major immigrant ending in West Africa with over one trillion immigrant population. The youths accounts for a majority of the immigrant population. This represents about 0.7 percent of the population. The case of unemployment among the youth cuts across both the locals as advantageously as the immigrants (Alanana, 2003). This paper purposes to psychoanalyze the case of unemployment among the migrant and non-migrant youth population in the country and how the attitudes affects the rank by analysing unemployment among the local youths and the immigrant youths in Nigeria.Problem storyGenerally, the rate of migrant and non-migrant youth unemployment in Nigeria is very high. However, the rates of unemployment among the youth are incomparable to the older male works population in the country. Several reasons may be behind the abnormal differences in the unemployment rates amongst the youth and the adult population. Several studies have associated the differences in the unemployment rates between the migrant and non-migrant youth populations and former(a) adults to the attitudes posed by the youths regarding job specifications. Other studies indite in Alanana (2013), Youth unemployment in Nigeria: some implications for the triplet millennium have indicated that the local youth are very selective towards jobs as compared to immigrant youth. This dissertation go away examine the extent of truth in this statement by generally observing the link between unemployment among the youths and their attitudes and also examine the attitudes of immigrant and local youths towards employment opportunities in the country.Research objectivesThis seek study testament be point by the following objectives:\r\nTo analyse the link between unemployment among the youth and their attitudes To analyse the difference in unemployment rates between local youths and immigrant youths To examine how attitudes affects the differences in unemployment rates of the local youths and immigrant youths.Organization of the studyThis study lead be separate into five chapters. The introduction impart provide the emphasise and need to study how attitudes influence unemployment in the country. This go forth also embarrass a description of the query hypothesis, objectives, questions, limitations, assumptions, significance, and the advent adopted in the investigation. The second chapter go out provide a detailed summary of literary works review of previous investigations relevant to the research problem. The 3rd chapter ordain provide the research methodology that will be used in addressing the hypothesis and the research questions. Chapter four will represent all the selective information that will be collected and analysed in this be after study. Finally, the fifth chapter will delineate on the purposes that will be drawn in the study as well as the recommendations.\r\nLiterature review\r\nFor the nurture of an effective gap abstract, this study w ill analyse several previous imperial investigations and authentic statistics on unemployment among the youth in the world and specifically in Nigeria. The literature review will localize on the unemployment among locals and immigrants on a general location globally as well as local perspective in Nigeria.\r\nThe literature reviewed in this study will be sourced from credible sources such as theme and international newspaper sources that cover Nigeria, government publications and former(a) academic journals to ensure that the process of gap abridgment is founded on a comprehensive, valid, sound and reliable set of data. The study will focus on closely recent studies and publications dating back to a level best of 7 years ago to ensure the data used in the study represents the most recent situation as far as unemployment among the youth is concerned.\r\nAccording to Youth Speak Community (2013), Nigeria, which is Africa’s most populated country, has one of the highest u nemployment rates in the world. By 2011, the unemployment rate was at about 24 % of which the rate of unemployment among the youths was estimated to be about 50% (Youth Speak Community, 2013). However, the case is similar in many other African countries such as South Africa, Kenya, and Ghana, which have unemployment rates of 25%, 40 %, and 11 % one by one (Youth Speak Community, 2013).\r\nThe most critical numeral impact Nigeria and Nigerians today is the issue of unemployment and subsequently the problem in the approaching of unemployment is with current levels of youth unemployment in Nigeria (Bakare, 2013)Bakare states that macrocosm Bank statistical data list Nigeria’s youth unemployment rate at 38% (Bakare, 2013) moreover Bakare believes the real rate of Nigerian youth unemployment is impending to 80% (Bakare, 2013). The rate of youth population training continues to increase with Nigerian universities producing 150,000 graduates per year (Bakare, 2013), however ; the rate of job production has non kept to whole step with the production of university graduates per year (Bakare, 2013).\r\nThe focus of Nigeria’s future as a result of the youth unemployment problem is also part of the research agenda of the Nigerian Universities. The plane section of Business Administration and Marketing, at the Delta advance University are in the process of determining how the current youth unemployment crisis will impact Nigeria’s economic and social future. According to Salami (2013), The problems Nigeria faces tomorrow will see on how the youth population of Nigeria matures as adolescents into adulthood. â€Å"Records from the discipline Population Commission (2001) indicate that youths under the age of 30 constitute over half of the nearly 150 million Nigerians. According to Doreo Partners (2013) unemployment rate in Nigeria is growing at the rate of 16% per year with the youth impacted the most and accounting for lead times the g eneral unemployment.” (Salami, 2013) Damilola (2013) describes the rise in unemployment in Nigeria as â€Å"one of the major social problems poignant the growth and development of this country.” (Damilola, 2013) The situation is described as so dire the population of Nigerians cannot meet raw material needs due to the lack of jobs. Damilola also describes a problem of cronyism in Nigeria that awards jobs to college graduates with political connections rather than based on individual merit. The suggestion by Damilola is for the youth to be â€Å"creative and learn different vocational skills.” (Damilola, 2013)\r\nA startling report by the Department of Sociology at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria has indicated that youth unemployment has led to a rise in violent crimes (Ajaegbu, 2012) The overall level of despair of the youth population is blamed for the level of youth unemployment. â€Å"By using the deprivation surmisal proposed by Ted Gurr, this stud y has explored the proximate and ultimate causes involving the youths in violent crimes. If factors that create the feeling of deprivation and licking created by unemployment are addressed, Nigeria’s youths will not engage in violent crimes.” (Ajaegbu, 2012)\r\nAccording to the Christian intuition monitor, the youth unemployment problem leaves the Nigerian youth population so despondent that militant groups are better able to prey on these populations and call down them into criminal organizations. â€Å"The vulnerability of unemployed youth in Nigeria’s northeast leaves them open to Boko Harem’s narratives, which have only been augmented by flimsy governance and the poor de operatery of basic services. Boko Haram members, who live in the city’s poor communities, govern the loyalty of those who have languished into poverty.” (Parker, 2013) This issue of militant groups in Nigeria leaves the migrant and non-migrant youth population pr one to photo of issues relating to criminality and recruitment into militant groups.\r\nMethodology\r\nThe look into solution questionnaire will be of a soft research design to measure the subjective response from the migrant and non-migrant youth population in Nigeria. The focus of the eyeshot questionnaire will be to assess the sentiment, or feelings, of the youth population with regard to their current and future employment prospect. Qualitative research involves the use of a subjective inquiry into the survey questionnaire, which is necessary to generate a base for analytic thinking to include meaty words, observations, stories, individualities, and chromatic renders with minimal consideration of the number of participants (Higgs & Cherry, 2009). This approach will enable the investigation and examination of the youth unemployment issue with a small try out population, and indeed allowing the investigation to proceed with a limited budget. Furthermore, since the investigation requires a deeper analysis and explanation on the link between attitudes and unemployment among the youths, the use of qualitative methodology will allow the study to analyse the objectives effectively.\r\nThe data will be collected from each participant of the sample population using interview questions derived based on the objectives identified in the introduction. The data will be coded by linking a number (1, 2, etc.) to each survey response question. The investigation will collect data via semi-structured interviews. After data collection is the analysis process. The analysis will be based on the beholder’s impression as the main analysis technique. The use of observer’s impression has been proved to be simple and effective in producing in-depth analysis (Higgs & Cherry, 2009).Ethical statementGenerally, this study will observe all the honest requirements in all the processes of data collection and analysis as is expected under an Internal redirect examination Board (IRB). Some of the factors that will be considered include protection of participants’ privacy and confidentiality.\r\nConclusion\r\nFrom the above introduction, it is ostensible that unemployment among the youth in Nigeria is a major social and economic issue in the country. Developing a deeper understanding on the reasons behind the high levels of migrant & non-migrant youth unemployment is necessary to ensure effective steps are taken to deal with the issue. This study will provide an examination and render a conclusion to the notion of the assertion that attitudes of the youth contribute to the high levels of unemployment. This will expand the current knowledge on the issue of youth unemployment and hence allow insurance makers to have a better understanding of the issue for effective policy development\r\n References\r\nAlanana, O.
