SOLVING EMPLOYMENT PROBLEMS THROUGH COOPERATIVE ORGANIZATION
ABSTRACT
This study discusses solution of employment problems through co-operatives movement in Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State, which was used as the case study.
The selected co-operative societies in the four major communities that made up the Local Government Area, namely: Otolo, Uruagu, Umudim and Nnewich, were examined with a view to finding out their employment problems and perspective. Two sources of data, namely: primary and secondary data were used.
Questionnaires were used as research instruments to supplement information got from other sources such as personal observation, oral interview, books, journals, magazines etc. And the data analysis was carried out by employing simple percentage and table while the hypothesis testing was conducted using chi-square (X2).
There was review of the structure and operation of the existing open credit delivery system. Recommendations were made. It is hoped that the performances of cooperative business enterprise within the local government area and beyond, especially their employment opportunities will improve tremendously, entrepreneur and government with the Local Government Area in particular, and Nigeria in general.
Employment through cooperative societies is well improved in the rural areas of Nnewi communities than in urban area because of the development in Nnewi. The number of people that employ in the city at the end of data analysis, the researcher found that there is significant role that co-operative society in Nnewi play towards the survival of employment in the society.
Furthermore, having examined critically the problems facing this society, it therefore brings about the recommendation of employment as a survival strategy in the co-operative societies. It also brings about reduction of unemployment problems. In our community, cooperative society will establish primary and secondary societies hence bring about increase in employment in our country. Employment by cooperative societies has been able to improve employment rate in the society or through co-operative society.
Finally, the presentation and analysis of data included the analysis of reviles from the questionnaire administered on owners of selected cooperative organizations, their employees as well as the general public.
Thereafter, the summary, conclusion and recommendation followed.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Global unemployment causes sleepless night; several government bodies have set up institution that could find solution to the unemployment menace. At times these bodies came up with several committees that government should control population of educational system and compulsory services for graduating youths etc. as means of checking unemployment's rate.
In Africa, particularly Nigeria, unemployment danger or menace have causes the government to come up with several employment schemes like Nation Directorate of Employment (NDE), to provide jobs on its teeming population. However, the government even carried itself reliance programmes so as to impact into its citizenry, the need to develop their initiatives and employ them.
Some states governments were not left out in trying to find solution or its teeming populace. Several employment agencies were set up like Voluntary Services Scheme (VSS) at Anambra State; it is to say that despite all these efforts, no significant results were recorded. No amount of government polices, provisions of human and material subventions training of manpower. Employment of expatriates has been able to improve employment rate.
Like a mustard seed, an ideology that Michael force with European industrial revolution of 18th century, particularly in Britain, not only survival but also was exported to some parts of the world including Nigeria.
Co-operative call of self-mutual help integration of resources to the satisfaction of all contributors' identified need(s). Besides, “No man is an island”, a tree cannot make a forest. People from different background(s) pool their expectations together. The act of carrying out these activities is called co-operative society.
Therefore in Anambra State, Oganiru Age Grade in Nnewi North Local Government Area enhanced this research activity which was conducted as to know the level or impacts of co-operative in reducing unemployment danger.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
In view of the problems the Nigeria government at all level as well as private individual, have recently realized the importance of co-operative business enterprise as vehicle for economic development of co-operative business organization.

- to the staff of the co-operative societies, this work can serve as a mirror which co-operative staff can see their objective targets, achievements and importantly, people perception of them.
- to the federal government, through this work, the government can use it as a yardistic to measure the effectiveness of co-operative societies.
1.7 Limitations of the Study
During the course of this study, there were some problems encountered which stood as limitations to the research work. Some of the limitations include:
- Work Load:
This work look complex because of courses the researcher is facing in the school and the credit load attached to it, the researcher will be eliminating the research.
- Time Contents:
Time affected this project adversely; undoubtedly, it is because the researcher is combing the projects, assignments, term paper and many other problems, the researcher would have broaded the scope of work.
- Financial Expenses:
Finance affected this project, because the researcher was spending money on transportation, information required by the researcher and many other expenses make for the researcher to achieve what he want for the project.
1.8 Definition of Terms
