Abstract

This study examines Forced Migration and its Effects on Employment in Greater Yola Area. Primary sources of data that were used for the study include questionnaire and interview schedule. While the secondary sources of data include data from Primary Health Care Department of Yola South, Yola North and Girei LGAs on house numbering in Greater Yola area and data from International Organization for Migration on the number of IDPs in host communities and in camp. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics (tables, graph and percentage). The result obtained showed that majority of the displaced population (70%) have lost their job to the insurgency hence their influx into the study area has brought about increase in the competition of both skilled and unskilled labour in the study area. The study recommended that Government should diversify the economy to engage both the literate and illiterate youths since majority of them have lost their businesses to the insurgency.
