Abstract
The study examines how youth unemployment (37.2% in 2023) contributes to civil unrest, crime, and socio-political instability in Nigeria. Key findings include: - Unemployment exacerbates poverty, widens economic inequality, and increases vulnerability to crime and political manipulation. - Unemployed youths are susceptible to recruitment by insurgent groups and criminal organizations. - Structural issues like inadequate education, economic instability, and corruption perpetuate unemployment. - Socio-political consequences include electoral violence, protests, and erosion of trust in democratic institutions.
