Abstract

This research investigated demographic determinants of labour market participation in Nigeria. The specific objectives were to investigate the effects of age distribution, marital status, gender on labour market participation in Nigeria. Also, the study sought to determine the extent to which socio-economic factors (income level, education, occupation, size of household and geographic location) affects labour market participation in Nigeria. Data were drawn randomly from residents of five States in South East Nigeria using multi-stage sampling technique. The sample size was 363 drawn from a population of 14,322,000 residents of South East Nigeria. The data were coded in SPSS software and analyzed using multiple regression technique. The findings revealed that age and marital status significantly increased labour market participation in Nigeria while gender had decreasing effect on labour market participation in Nigeria. Education, income level and geographic location were the significant socio-economic determinants of labour market participation in Nigeria. While occupation increased labour market participation though not significantly, household size decreased labour market participation. The study concluded that labour market participation in Nigeria is primarily driven by socio-economic factors such as age distribution, marital status, education, income level, and geographic location. There was no clear evidence of gender-based disparities in labour market participation. The study recommended that Government should create policies that will address the disparities between urban and rural areas by improving infrastructure as well as encourage women participation in labour market.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between access to healthcare and labour market participation in Nigeria. Three specific objectives are formulated: to ascertain the extent to which availability of healthcare affects labour market participation in Nigeria; investigate the relationship between healthcare affordability and labour market participation; and to determine the relationship between healthcare acceptability and labour market participation. The study focuses on selected communities in all the five states that make up South East Nigeria. The sample size is 358. The data were collected through structured questionnaire and analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient. The results reveal that availability of healthcare personnel and facilities has negative correlation and no significant effect on labour market participation, there is significant positive correlation between healthcare affordability and labour market participation and healthcare acceptability correlates positively and significantly with labour market participation. The study concludes that that labour market participation in rural communities in Nigeria is enhanced through healthcare affordability and healthcare acceptability. However, there is still low availability of healthcare personnel and facilities in the rural communities and this is affecting labour market participation. The study recommends that government should build more primary healthcare centers in rural communities, make health insurance scheme enforcement compulsory for all rural residents in Nigeria because when healthcare is available and acceptable, it increases access to healthcare and boosts labour market participation and productivity.
