Abstract

This paper employs the Toda–Yamamoto Causality Test to investigate the causal relationship between economic growth and employment in Nigeria. Quarterly data from 1991 Q1 to 2013 Q1 was used to carry out the analysis. It was discovered that there is no causality from the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to employment but there is causality from employment to GDP during the period of analysis. It was concluded that efforts should be geared toward tackling the problem of unemployment in Nigeria by sensitising the population to the windows of opportunities available for job creation while fixing the power supply problems to generate more employment.
