Background of the Study:
Youth migration from rural to urban areas in Awka South Local Government has raised concerns about the survival of traditional apprenticeship systems. Historically, these apprenticeship arrangements were vital in transferring practical skills and indigenous knowledge from experienced artisans to the younger generation (Nwachukwu, 2023). However, the lure of urban opportunities and modern educational institutions has led many youths to abandon traditional learning paths in favor of more lucrative career prospects (Okoro, 2024). This shift not only threatens the continuity of artisanal craftsmanship but also undermines the preservation of cultural heritage embedded in these traditional practices (Chidinma, 2025). The study critically examines how youth migration disrupts apprenticeship systems, assessing the socio-economic implications for both the artisans and the community. It also considers possible adaptive measures that could integrate traditional apprenticeship with modern vocational training, ensuring the sustainability of these time-honored skills (Nwachukwu, 2023).
Statement of the Problem:
The increasing migration of youth away from rural areas has led to a decline in traditional apprenticeship systems in Awka South. This trend jeopardizes the transmission of artisanal skills and cultural heritage, creating a gap in both economic opportunity and cultural continuity (Okoro, 2024).
Objectives of the Study:
-
To investigate the impact of youth migration on traditional apprenticeship systems.
-
To analyze the socio-economic effects of declining apprenticeships on local communities.
-
To propose adaptive strategies to revitalize traditional apprenticeship in a modern context.
Research Questions:
-
How has youth migration affected traditional apprenticeship systems?
-
What are the socio-economic consequences of this decline?
-
What strategies can be implemented to integrate traditional apprenticeships with modern vocational training?
Research Hypotheses:
-
Youth migration has a significantly negative impact on traditional apprenticeship systems.
-
Declining apprenticeships lead to economic and cultural losses.
-
Integrative training models can revive traditional apprenticeship systems.
Significance of the Study:
The study is important for preserving indigenous craftsmanship and ensuring sustainable economic development. It provides policy recommendations for integrating traditional apprenticeships with modern education to benefit both artisans and the community (Chidinma, 2025).
Scope and Limitations of the Study:
Limited to the effect of youth migration on traditional apprenticeship systems in Awka South Local Government, Anambra State.
Definitions of Terms:
