Abstract

This study examines major socio-economic determinants of child labour in North-Eastern Nigeria. The study employs multistage sampling techniques to obtain required data from selected local government areas in three states of North Eastern Nigeria, namely, Adamawa, Bauchi, and Yobe States. Structured questionnaires were administered to 810 children and their household heads in three wards of each local government area selected. The data obtained was analyzed using the Tobit Model. The result shows that socio-economic determinants of child labour comprise children’s age, children’s gender, children’s relationship with household head, household head’s education, household head’s occupation, and poverty, which is measured by household head’s income, family size, access to clean piped water, and distance from school. Among them, some were found to be statistically significant at varying levels. Therefore, the study recommends necessary actions such as enlightenment on the effects of child labour, severe punishment of those found involved in child labour related activities, and the need for the government to make adequate provision for basic infrastructure.

Abstract

Poverty is a disease that continues to cause insecurity and other forms of social vices in a country, which in turn affects the growth and development of the nation. The increasing poverty rate, especially in Nigeria, has become a complex problem that has resulted in economic degradation, which must be immediately resolved. Therefore, this study examines poverty and its intractability in Nigeria: causes and consequences. The study analyzes the data using Ordinary Least Square methods. The data were obtained from Federal Reserve Economic Data and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The results indicate that the poverty rate will rise by 0.035375 and 2.564296 units, respectively, for every unit increase in population and unemployment (UMP). Besides, the result shows that a unit increase in the human development index (HDI) will lead to a -4.347621 decrease in the poverty rate in Nigeria. The framework affirms that poverty is an intractability in Nigeria. The study consequently suggests that the government, non-governmental organizations, and private citizens prioritize funding for human development and embrace a solid fiscal policy that will boost economic output and lower the country's degree of poverty.

Abstract

 ABSTRACTThis study examines the impact of financial inclusion on economic growth in Nigeria from 1986 to 2020. The Zivot-Andrew unit root test was used to examine the statistical characteristics of the data. The Zivot Andrew unit root test shows that while Automated Teller Machines and foreign direct investment are stationary at level, the gross domestic product, commercial bank branches, and phone-based transactions are stationary at first difference. Bound test for long run shows that there is long run relationship among the variables of interest. According to the Auto Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) result, commercial bank branches in Nigeria have a short-term, positive, and significant impact on the country's gross domestic product. The Nigerian gross domestic product is negatively impacted by automated teller machines; however, this impact is negligible. The long run coefficient demonstrates positive and statistically significant influence of commercial bank branches on Nigeria's GDP. The Nigerian gross domestic product has positively and statistically significantly impacted by automated teller machines. Mobile phone-based transaction has positive and significant impact on gross domestic product in Nigeria. In Nigeria, foreign direct investment has a positive and statistically significant impact on GDP. Both in terms of sign and size, the error correction term (ECT) satisfies all theoretical and statistical requirements. The ECT coefficient is -0.522626 with a 5% level of significance. This shows that at 52.26 percent, the disequilibrium brought on by the shock in the years before is corrected to the long-term equilibrium in the present year. The Granger causality test demonstrates that while mobile phone-based transactions do not granger cause gross domestic product, commercial bank branches, automated teller machines, domestic depositors' money in banks, and foreign direct investment do. The studies recommend, the Central Bank of Nigeria should push commercial banks to increase the number of automated teller machines in each branch.Keywords: Financial inclusions, FDI, Economic growth ARDLJEL: P43.

Abstract

In this study, the impact of government expenditure on Nigeria's economic growth rate from 1970 to 2020 is analyzed. OLS was used to estimate the connection between the variables over the long run. The findings show a positive link between the Log of Gross Domestic Products (LGDP’s) log and its initial lag, which is statistically significant. The result reveals a positive association between the (LGDP) and the log of recurrent government expenditure (RGE), as well as between the (LGDP) and the log of first lag of recurrent government expenditure (RGE). A positive link exists between the (LGDP) and the log of capital government expenditure (CGE), but a negative relationship exists between the (LGDP) and the log of first (CGE). The link between the (LGDP) and the domestic debt of the federal government (LFGDD) is inverse, while the relationship between the logs of the first lag of the domestic debt of the federal government (LFGDD) is positive. The R2 determination coefficient is 0.698968. The outcome demonstrates that explanatory factors account for 70% of the variation in the (LGDP). The model is acceptable since the F-statistic 3595.905 with a probability of 0.000000 is significant at 1%. The long-term trend of the explanatory variables, which has increased since the year 1985, is linked to GDP. The outcome presented above also depicts the predicted short-run relationship. Therefore, it is recommended that government expenditure be examined and bolstered to have a positive impact on Nigeria's growth rates.
