Scary Statistics For The Nigerian Labour Market by blessafrica: 11:06am On Sep 12, 2017
Nigeria is experiencing and will continue to experience (in the near future) a population boom.

Nigeria is currently the fastest growing country in the world. It is estimated that our population will just about surpass that of the United states by 2050.

This will make Nigeria the 3rd most populous country with a population figure of about 400 million.

Given that we are already grappling with staggering unemployment statistics, this only gets worse.

In Nigeria today, we have about 60 million within the ages 25-60 which largely makes up our "real" labour force.

Now this is where it gets interesting.

The bulk of Nigeria's population is actually under 25 with about 75 million (0-14 years) and more importantly, we have 36 million between 15-24 years.

What this means is that over the next ten (10) years, over 30 million Nigerians are going to enter the labour market seeking Jobs that even the current youths can't find.

These are verifiable figures that paint a dim picture of the future.

We all are going to be affected one way or another. Your siblings, cousins, nephews, nieces, children even you as a person would have to deal with this grim reality.

If there was ever a time to embrace entrepreneurship, it is now.

Each one of us must begin to deploy our skills, knowledge, experience etc in the creation of value which can then be exchanged for money.

The good News is that every single different type of person, irrespective of background, with every single limitation has started and built a successful business.
And so can you.
