Abstract

Unemployment is a global phenomenon. This means it is found all over the world. Youth unemployment is however on the increase in Nigeria. Distributive education equips its recipients with skills for becoming professional marketers and teachers. This paper thus, identified educational services; consultancy services and commercial services as the areas through which Distributive education can help in generating employment opportunities in order to reduce youth unemployment in Nigeria. The paper concludes that the problem of unemployment requires multi-facet approaches and as such, Distributive education should be encouraged, otherwise, the efforts of the government and other stakeholders toward reducing youth unemployment will not be significantly seen and appreciated. Finally, as a way forward, the paper suggests that; Nigerian youths should be encouraged to study Distributive education, Nigerian youths should be ready to take risk, education should be properly funded, there should be industrial harmony in the Nigerian educational sector and the security situation in Nigeria should be improved.
