Entrepreneurship for Youth Development

The impact of unemployment and poverty on the youths in particular calls for all the stakeholders to jointly seek for a more sustainable solution. The youths in particular need to begin to do some kind of self-assessment as to how long many of them have been waiting to secure wage employment without success. They need to begin to ask themselves how much longer they still have to wait. This book highlights the negative impact of our educational system on our youths. An educational system that did not teach them to produce but to consume. An educational system that did not prepare our youths to face the challenge of unemployment. The book addresses the youths, particularly on how to prepare themselves to meet the challenge of unemployment as well as to lift themselves out of poverty. Part of the focus of the book is how different factors have been working together to negatively influence the ways our youths think and act. The influence of some parents on the youths are equally brought under the searchlight of the book; particularly how such influence has impact negatively on the psyche of many youths. The book then discusses the way forward for our youths, particularly in Nigeria.
