Abstract
This project is on Socio-economic effect of graduate unemployment in urban centers in Kogi state.
Graduate unemployment in Nigeria Urban Centres has reached an alarming proportion. This study, therefore, investigated the socio-economic effects of graduate unemployment in urban centers using Kogi State as a case study. It examined the socio-economic effects of graduate unemployment both on the individual and the society in general, with the view to finding solutions to graduate unemployment which will be useful to both government and non-governmental organization. The data for the study was collected through the questionnaire method the research also interviewed a few highly placed and widely experienced individuals whose valuable contributions enabled the researcher to grasp the tropical development of graduate unemployment in Nigeria since independence. These findings indicate that unemployment is a distasteful experience to the individual unemployed as well as a social problem to the society in general. There is also some economic cost of mass unemployment which includes low productivity in the economy. It is not only a psychological blow to remaining unemployed over a prolonged period but it may render the individual financially incapable to maintain him or herself and plan for the future. In view of these, it was recommended that effort should be harmonized in order to enhance political stability in the country, corrupt leadership should be discouraged and replaced with a good and incorrupt governance both at the local and national level and there should be the programme of urban rehabilitation and retaining of the employed.
