Background of the Study
Industrial parks are designated areas that provide infrastructure and facilities for businesses and industries to set up operations in a specific location. In many developing regions, such as Funtua Local Government Area (LGA) in Katsina State, industrial parks are seen as a key strategy for promoting economic development and job creation. These parks offer various benefits to businesses, including tax incentives, improved infrastructure, and access to a ready workforce.
Funtua LGA, which has historically been reliant on agriculture, has seen an increase in industrial activities due to the establishment of several industrial parks. This has led to the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and manufacturing industries, which are crucial to job creation in the region. However, the direct impact of these industrial parks on employment levels and overall economic growth has not been extensively studied. This research will assess how industrial parks in Funtua have contributed to job creation, focusing on the types of jobs generated, the skills required, and the long-term sustainability of employment in the region.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Although industrial parks have been established in Funtua LGA as part of efforts to diversify the local economy, their effectiveness in creating sustainable jobs and promoting long-term economic development remains unclear.
