| dc.description.abstract | Youth unemployment is a condition that has worsened in Nigeria over the past two decades. This situation became more glaring since 2015 due to a decline in the economy arising from the fall in oil prices. Given Nigeria as the focus, this study assessed the conditions that drive youth employment in key economic sectors of the Nigerian economy by specifically identifying the promising economic sectors with job creation potential for young men and women; analysing the differential impact of sectoral growth on youth employment across rural and urban areas as well as on gender lines; identifying the key economic and political constraints to developing key sectors relevant for youth employment; and determining the specific conditions needed for investment in the identified sectors.
