| description |
This report provides an overview of
jobs,workers, and employment opportunities in Nigeria, using
recent household data. Jobs are critical for Nigeria’s
present and future, as better jobs and income-earning
opportunities form the basis for more diversified economic
growth, poverty reduction, and greater prosperity. This
report relies heavily on the wealth of information gathered
through the General Household Survey conducted by the
National Bureau of Statistics. The diagnostics included in
this report are intended to describe the landscape of jobs
in the country and provide broad analysis as an input into
the development of a jobs strategy for Nigeria. The analysis
conducted for this report has highlighted three areas that
need attention: (i) data quality issues, as shown in the
several rounds of data cleaning needed to provide consistent
statistics; (ii) poor documentation and archiving, which
prevented the use of several rounds of the household survey,
especially to produce national-level statistics using
population weights; and (iii) standardization, to permit
comparisons of key variables over time and track the impact
of policy changes and other events. As shown in this report,
many Nigerians work, but generally in low-earning
activities. Most work opportunities in the country are
informal and do not come with a wage. This report presents
an updated picture of jobs in Nigeria and identifies
opportunities for improving the quality of jobs. This report
has shown that Nigeria combines middle-income status and
Africa’s largest economic power with high poverty levels,
largely because the main sectors of economic growth are
disconnected from the sectors that provide employment,
notably subsistence activities in the agricultural and
services sectors. Finally, the diagnostics included in this
report show that both new and existing jobs, whether in
agriculture or other sectors, will need to be more
productive to help the population move out of low-earning
employment and poverty. |
