1.1 INTRODUCTION

The term, “Unemployment” literally applies to all categories of people that are presently without work. It has come to have specific meaning in contemporary discussion of all social and economic policies. Only these person not at work for more than a specific minimum period of time and who are able and willing to work, and also actively seeking for work are generally considered to be truly unemployed. It is a state of being unemployed, which always leads to a very serious evil. It can also be regarded as the amount of the unused labour.

The appropriate precise definition given to the term “unemployment” varies from one country to the other. This is in relation to the changing context of government and private programmes within such country. In other words, it is a situation whereby a person who is willing to work and permitted by law to do so at a specific period of time and he/she is not employed.
