CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION: This chapter provides background information on the role of ICT in economic development, particularly in Nigeria. It highlights the country's various economic development strategies, the introduction of ICT policies, and the significant impact of ICT on different sectors. The chapter then establishes the research problem by questioning whether the efforts in ICT have yielded commensurate results in job creation for unemployed Nigerian youths. The objectives and research questions are clearly outlined, setting the stage for the subsequent chapters.
CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW: This chapter (content not provided) would likely synthesize existing research on the relationship between ICT, economic growth, and unemployment, specifically within the Nigerian context. It would survey previous studies examining the impact of ICT on job creation, poverty reduction, and overall economic development, providing a theoretical framework for the current research. The literature review would identify gaps in existing research and highlight the need for the present study.
CHAPTER THREE: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: This chapter (content not provided) would detail the research design, data collection methods, and analytical techniques employed in the study. It would describe the population and sample, the data sources used (primary and secondary), and the statistical methods applied to analyze the data. The justification for the chosen methodology would be presented, along with a discussion of limitations.
CHAPTER FOUR: DATA PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS: This chapter (content not provided) would present the findings of the study. It would involve the systematic presentation of data using tables, charts, and graphs, and an in-depth analysis of these data to answer the research questions. This chapter is likely to compare the impact of ICT across different sectors and groups, potentially examining regional variations and disparities. The interpretation of findings would be meticulously documented, with comparisons to existing literature.
