Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study
Unemployment remains a critical issue in many regions of Nigeria, with young people particularly affected. In Kaura Namoda Local Government Area, Zamfara State, digital media has been increasingly recognized as a tool to combat unemployment by fostering entrepreneurship, providing job opportunities, and enhancing access to skill development resources. Platforms such as LinkedIn, job boards, e-learning sites, and digital job markets provide avenues for employment and business development. According to research by Ojo et al.

This study explores the role of digital media in reducing unemployment in Kaura Namoda, focusing on how online platforms are used to connect job seekers with employers, provide skills training, and encourage entrepreneurship.
