Journal Title: Asian Economic and Financial Review - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
This paper examines the determinants of market employment capacity of enterprises in Jigawa state, we used primary data collected from 300 entrepreneurs drawn base on purposive and random sampling techniques from three major international markets in the state. Consequently, we employed descriptive statistics and multivariate regression model for the analysis. The results revealed that market employment capacity (MEC) is directly related to the capital requirement (CAP) of businesses and inversely related to experience (EXP) of the entrepreneurs. Besides, both relationships are statistically significant. The policy implication of the research is that government should stimulate appropriate policy responses for employment generation and growth sustainability in domestic markets that attract international participants. In addition, these markets should be transformed, developed and optimally utilized to create the enabling platform for sustainable growth and development of the state.
