Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Poverty alleviation policies have emerged as critical tools for promoting socio-economic development and addressing youth unemployment in Nigeria. These policies often include microcredit schemes, entrepreneurship training programs, and grants aimed at empowering young people to start and sustain businesses (Adebayo et al., 2023). In Zaria Local Government, Kaduna State, youth entrepreneurship has been recognized as a viable pathway for poverty reduction and economic growth.
Despite government efforts, the impact of poverty alleviation policies on youth entrepreneurship in Zaria remains inconsistent. Challenges such as inadequate funding, lack of mentorship, and bureaucratic bottlenecks hinder the effectiveness of these programs (Yakubu & Aliyu, 2024). This study investigates the relationship between poverty alleviation policies and youth entrepreneurship in Zaria Local Government, assessing their effectiveness and recommending strategies for improvement.
