Skill Mismatch and Employability in Nigeria: A review of Literature
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN HUMANITIES - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
The alarming incidence of skill mismatch and the consequential declining employability has become a key challenge to governments, educational institutions and employers of labour at large. This paper reviews relevant literature as regards the nature, scope, causes and consequences of the worrisome trend, identifies some gaps and suggests a tripartite investigation involving students, lecturers and employers. It also suggests that the investigation focuses on social and management sciences which accounts for 50% of students population in Nigerian universities and also the need explore the presence or otherwise of gender dimension to the mismatch crises.
