1.1            GENERAL BACKKGROUND OF UNEMPLOYMENT

The Advanced Learners Dictionary defined unemployment as the amount of labour unused.  When a factor of production is not doing any job, we say it is unemployed.  In this project, we concentrate mainly on the effect of unemployment in Nigeria economy in particular, emphasis on labour which is the most important and active factor of production which simply means that without labour, all other factors will not be put into practice.  Then all other facts are regarded as passive factors of production.
