Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 07
Abstract
This paper is anchored on social entrepreneurship as a panacea for mitigating unemployment among the Nigerian youth. Without overemphasizing the condition of unemployment in Nigeria, an avalanche of studies have substantiated this assertion by reporting that the rate of youth unemployment is on the increase in Nigeria, causing frustration, dependency and dejection. With the increasing turnout of graduates yearly from tertiary institutions, many gradates still remain unemployed for a long time after graduation. The major objectives of the paper are; to examine the concept and meaning of social entrepreneurship, identify the role and importance of social entrepreneurship in mitigating youth unemployment in Nigeria, and to know the challenges of social entrepreneurship in Nigeria. However, this paper is mainly qualitative, hence relied on secondary sources of data. The methodological approach in this paper, therefore, is based on content analysis while social network theory remains the theoretical thrust.
