CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The term, “Unemployment” literally applies to all categories of people that
are presently without work. It has come
to have specific meaning in contemporary discussion of all social and economic
policies. Only these person not at work
for more than a specific minimum period of time and who are able and willing to
work, and also actively seeking for work are generally considered to be truly
unemployed. It is a state of being
unemployed, which always leads to a very serious evil. It can also be regarded as the amount of the
unused labour.
The appropriate precise definition
given to the term “unemployment”
varies from one country to the other.
This is in relation to the changing context of government and private
programmes within such country. In other
words, it is a situation whereby a person who is willing to work and permitted
by law to do so at a specific period of time and he/she is not employed. This lead to a serious economic problem in
terms of the miserable impact on living condition. This is the case of the present Nigerian
whereby many University graduates who are permitted by law to work but are not
employed and many degree holders in education and the N.C.E. graduates are not
employed into the teaching field. The
same thing to those in other field.
The deplorable condition in which
many Nigerians are subjected to is partially caused by Unemployment and totally
caused by maladministration of our resources by the government.
EFFECTS OF UNEMPLOYMENT IN IBADAN SOUTH WEST
Generally speaking, unemployment has
created a lot of social evils and very serious economic problems in terms of
its miserable impact on the living condition of labour and reduction in its
real income and consumption for the economy as a whole. It leads to under utilization of available
resources and consequent decrease in National Output, which could generate
political distortion.
Unemployment is normally felt during
the period of academic depression when the firms are producing below capacity
and when government can no more absorb people into white-collar jobs.
1.2 EFFECT
OF UNEMPLOYMENT IN IBADAN SOUTH WEST LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Unemployment in Ibadan South West
Local Government is not seriously felt unlike other major cities and towns in
Nigeria. The reasons for this are not
far fetched. In the first instance,
Ibadan South West Local Government is blessed with naturally fertile land so
that the moment when a person who is permitted to work by law is unemployed,
he/she unanimously takes to framing thereby reducing the elastic effect of
unemployment, and very serious economic problems in terms of miserable impact
on the living condition of labour and reducing in its real income and
consumption for the economy as a whole.
It leads to under utilization of available resources and consequent
decrease in national output, which could generate political distortion.
Unemployment is normally felt during
the period of academic depression when the firms are producing below capacity
and when government can no more absorb people into white collar-jobs.
Some of these unemployed persons go
to big cities to look for job and more cases successfully people from Ibadan
South West are always looked up as being disciplined and dedicated and these
are some of the qualities of an unemployed person.
Many unemployed persons have become
hardened criminals, thieves, armed robbers, political thugs, pick-pocketters,
kidnapers etc. A lot of them resort into
various dubious practices such as juju to steal money, perform various kinds of
tricks to steals money etc. with the case in Ibadan South West, we have less
experience of these criminal acts.

1.5 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Many firms have wind up because of
various structural adjustment there is no doubt that the present people’s
predicament is caused by political maladministration and misappropriation of
the public funds.
This political maladjustment and
misappropriation of public funds has lead to mass retrenchment of workers in
ministries. This miserable exercise has
caused a lot of disorders like separation between husbands and wives because
the husband has no money to feed the wife and children.
No sound education for the children
because the father’s appointment has been terminated. Many retrenched people have lost their lives
in hunger because there was no one to care for them, even some of them thought
that there was nothing they could do in their lives again and went to commit
suicide. In addition, the embargo placed
on job opportunities by the federal Government is the major cause of
unemployment. Most of our schools are
short-staffed while many qualified and trained teachers are jobless. Even in other ministries and government
establishments there are vacancies supposed to be filled but left
unfilled. Despite the presence of
numerous qualified and capable personnel.
In fact this embargo placed on the
importation of certain goods serving as raw materials for various firms and
plants added more to this unemployment and the possible ways by which the
situation could be arrested.
