Abstract:
Democracy and unemployment among youth are two antithetical bed-fellows. Any nation's democratic development is hampered by unemployment. For a democratic experiment to succeed, the young, lively, and enthusiastic are valuable resources that shouldn't be underutilized. Thus, the youth unemployment has been the bane of Nigeria's democracy since inception in 1999. Hence, becomes a cog in the wheel of democratic processes where it manifests itself in myriads of serious socioeconomic and political crises such as kidnappings, prostitution and insurgency among others. The method of study was the secondary method. Based on the findings, the research recommended among other things that government should formulate and effectively implement proper policy measures that will drastically reduce the country's youth unemployment rate.
