摘要

本文的目的是确定尼日利亚青年失业与由此产生的负面社会经济现实之间的相互作用,这在阿夸伊博姆州是显而易见的。尼日利亚和阿夸伊博姆州的人口目前(2022年7月)估计分别为2.06亿和700万,平均年增长率为3.5%。在这一数字中,虽然在全国一级超过35%,但阿夸伊博姆州超过52%的青年失业。正如本文所观察到的那样,造成这种情况的关键因素包括经济状况和教育水平不佳、对农业的态度不佳、有利和有保障的环境不佳、非正规就业和创业数据缺乏、经济增长率不佳以及对技术和职业教育的错误印象。此外,该文件指出,阿卡瓦伊博姆州青年普遍失业的现象造成了诸如卖淫、武装抢劫、石油走私、网络欺诈、贩毒和吸毒、强奸、绑架、政治谋杀、暗杀和其他犯罪行为等社会恶习的高发率。就未来的道路而言,该文件提出,除其他外,阿夸伊博姆州政府应重新设计教育部门,使其成为以技术为基础的部门,以加强自主创业的技能获取,并鼓励年轻人将农业作为一项有利可图的商业投资。此外,应该诚实地努力振兴该州垂死挣扎的工业。

Rising Youth Unemployment and The Socio-Economic Realities in Nigeria: The Akwa Ibom State Experience
This paper was undertaken to establish the interplay between youth unemployment and resultant negative socio-economic realities in Nigeria as evident in Akwa Ibom State. Nigeria’s population and that of Akwa Ibom State is currently (July, 2022) estimated at about 206 and 7 million respectively with a progressive average growth rate of 3.5 percent per annum. Out of this number, while more than 35 percent at the national level, over 52 percent of the youth in Akwa Ibom State are unemployed. This situation, as the paper observed, is occasioned by crucial factors ranging from the poor state of the economy and educational standard, poor attitude to agriculture, poor enabling and secured environment, scarcity of data on informal employment and entrepreneurship, poor economic growth rate and wrong impression about technical and vocational education. Furthermore, the paper noted that the prevailing unemployment among youth in Akwa Ibom State has engendered high rate of social vices such as prostitution, armed robbery, oil bunkering, internet fraud, drug trafficking and addiction, rape, kidnapping, political thuggery, assassination and other acts of criminalities. For the way forward, the paper proffered, among others, that the Akwa Ibom State government should redesigned the education sector to become technology-based in order to enhance skill acquisition for self-employment as well as encourage the youth to embrace agriculture as a profitable business venture. Moreover, honest effort should be made towards revitalizing the moribund and ailing industries in the state.
