Abstract:
This paper discusses the nexus of globalization on emerging youth culture in Nigeria from sociological and economic perspectives. To a degree, globalization forces have integrated the Nigerian economy with the rest of the world by opening doors to foreign investments in some sectors of the economy. However, no link has been found in literature to justify a nexus between investments coming into sectors of the Nigerian economy and economic growth. Thus, there is no evidence that Nigerian youths benefit from more job opportunities on account of globalization. Furthermore, globalisation has done more harm than good for young people in Nigeria. After first viewing globalisation as a positive trend that would lead to more economic possibilities due to the elimination of trade barriers, young people in Nigeria now find themselves enmeshed in its social repercussions.
