CHAPTER ONE
1. Introduction

Unemployment is a term referring to individuals who are employable and seeking a job but is

unable to find a job. Furthermore, it is those people in the workforce or pool of people who are

available for work that does not have an appropriate job. Usually measured by the

unemployment rate, which is dividing the number of unemployed people by the total number of

people in the workforce, unemployment serves as one of the indicators. The part of the study

contains background of the study, statement of the problem, research questions, objectives of the

study which are general and specifics, significances, scope, limitations, background of the study

area and structures of the study. All of them are as follows.

1.1. Background of the Study

Ethiopia is one of the developing countries with high population growth rate. From the historical
perspective, Ethiopia population tends to show increment from time to time (WB, 2017:20-3).In
most developing countries, including Ethiopia, agriculture is the backbone of their economy.
Specifically, it plays great role for the growth of domestic production, feeding of the population,
providing employment opportunities, source of income and raw material for others economic
sectors. But, still it is traditional in productivity due to inadequate, variability and seasonality of
rainfall, lack of improved technologies, poor infrastructures, low soil fertility, absence of surplus
markets and so on (Henok, 2006 p 13-5 ).

The high growth of population and low performance of the economy have created gab between
the producer and the consumer of goods and services such as food, shelter, clothing, and
education. The major determinants of development in Ethiopia are unemployment, population
growth, underemployment, inequality, low level of education, lack of finance, weak institution
and natural and human factors (Abebe, 1990 p41-5).

1
Ethiopia is characterized by rapid population growth, migration and its mismatch with economic
growth. The real gross domestic product was growing less than two percent per annum during in
the 1990’s while, population expended by about three percent per annum on average. As a result,
the country’s economy could not generate adequacy and well-paying job opportunities for the
labor force and tend to increase unemployment. The youth seem to suffer the most from this
socio-economic problem was those who complete the 10th and 12th grades in Ethiopia, only
limited number of joins colleges and universities. Even of those who graduate with diploma and
degree, many stay for long in search of job. The problem of unemployment has many adverse
ramification of on the unemployed and the society at large. Desperation and disappointment may
lead many to self-destructive and anti-social behaviors and actions, such as drug addiction,
alcoholism, organized crimes (like robbery, tariffing), suicide and violence against women, theft
and begging (Zerihun, 2005 p207-8).

Today, unemployment is one of the controversial issues and it has emerged as the most symptom
of lack of development in almost all developing countries. Unemployment mostly occurs in
youth people and urban areas (Samuelson, 2002:81-4).In the case of Ethiopia, unemployment is
one of the alarming problem in all urban centers, one of these is Addis Ababa city. This study
will be try to assess the causes and consequences of unemployment in Addis Ababa city, taking
in the Yeka sub city wereda 5 as a case.

1.2. Statement of the Problem

Unemployment is almost a feature of capitalist and socialist society. It is not only for the
developing countries that affected by unemployment is a problem but, it also for developed
countries. The extent, feature, and causes of it vary from country to country. In Ethiopia,
particularly in Addis Ababa city, there is a high degree of unemployment and underemployment
that challenge the development of the city (Henok, 2006 p456-59).

Hence, some researchers who studied the problem of unemployment in Addis Ababa city can be
noted here. For example, Tamiru Abate (2005 ) in his study, “The attitude and job expectation,
particular among the younger and educated “ in Addis Ababa city the case of Yeka sub
citywereda1 argued that the choice of youngster and educated person toward the jobs and
other persons attitude toward the jobs that causes the raise of unemployment, TayeAbebe
2
(2007)in his study, “Unemployment and underutilization of labor force” in Addis Ababa city
the case of Arada sub citywereda 07 argued that most of the time the causes of unemployment
and underutilized are raise from the government side, i.e. the government cannot available job
opportunity for the labor force , and GetaweyKebede (20099 ) in his study, “The shortage of
additional job opportunity” in Addis Ababa city the case of Gullele sub city district 02 argued
that like the idea of the above Taye. This study will may be filling the knowledge gab between
the above researchers to assess the causes and consequences of unemployment in Yeka sub
citywereda5, Addis Ababa.

2 Literature Review
2.1. Definition of concepts

The greatest sociologist and economist Karl Marx (1976:143-4) defined the term unemployment,
it is not a permanent features, it is the state of affairs which can be observed at a particular period
of time, it can be removed by appropriate government fiscal and monetary policies measures and
applies only able bodied people of working age (Marx 1902:143-4 quoted in Zerihun, 2005
p208).

From these different point of view authors generalized that unemployment is restricted only to
the number of the labor force who has ability to work and willingness to work, but does not get
work at the current normal market wage rate in the given period of time (Henok, 2006:458-9)

Many factors influence the size of labor force at a given time. Some of the more, size of total
population, age composition of the population, activity rate, and ability of the work force. The
total labor force is classified into unemployed and employed. Those who are actively searching
but unable to get a job are unemployed. Therefore, employment refers the portion or labor force
that have job while unemployment refers to the portion a labor force who have not but actively
searching for a job (Henok, 2006 p452-3).

2.2. Theoretical Approaches of Unemployment

2.2.1 Monetarists Theory

Monetarists explain unemployment as the existence of natural rate of unemployment which is


consistent with price level stability or with constant rate of inflation. Natural rate of
unemployment is also a rate of voluntary of frictional unemployment consistent with long run
equilibrium in the labor market. The natural rate is not necessary fixed; anything that increase
labor market fiction will increase the natural rate. For monetarists only continuous monetary
expansion and accepting inflation will keep marginal workers in employment, so they advise

6
directing macroeconomic policies to control inflation while using microeconomic policies to
reduce the long run natural rate of unemployment (Todaro and Smith 2006 p312).

2.2.2 Marxist Theory


According to Karl Marx, unemployment is inherent within the unstable system of capitalist and
periodic crises of mass unemployment are to be expected. The function of the proletariats within
the capitalist system is to provide are serve to army of labor “that creates down pressure on
wage.” This accomplish by dividing the proletariats in to surplus labor (employers),
underemployment (unemployment) and unemployed (Hyman, 1998 p167-8).

2.2.3 Classical Theory


The essential feature of this theory is that the labor market forced of supply and demand
responds to change in real wage. Thus, unemployment is the consequence of real wage being
and remaining too high to allow the labor market clear. Government wage regulation and
especially powerful trade unions are identified as significant causal factors. This unemployment
in the classical system relies upon market not clearing (Elliott, 1997 p419).

2.2.4 Neoclassical Theory


Neoclassical has concentrated on the so called “choice of teaching us “by explaining
unemployment as a technical problem of “cost minimization.” This approach avoids focusing on
the social process which determines the incorporations of labor power to production and capital
are viewed as “factors of production.” as objects and not as social relation with one another.
Unemployment is explained either as a result of factor price, i.e., the relative cheapness of
capital in relation to labor, or in terms of technological considerations related to the substituted
ability of capital for labor or what has been dynamited of the “factor proportion problem”(Elliott,
1997 p421-3).

2.3. Types of Unemployment


The problem of unemployment occurs because of different reasons. Economists use the reasons
to classify the types of unemployment. Accordingly, there are three commonly known
unemployment types. These are frictional unemployment, structured unemployment, and cyclical
unemployment and the others are seasonal and technological unemployment.

7
2.3.1 Frictional unemployment
Frictional unemployment is a temporarily phenomenon between jobs and looking new jobs. It
may take place in various ways when some workers are temporarily out of work while others are
changing jobs. The imperfect mobility of labor due to lack of labor market information exist for
the time being and inhabiting geographical or occupational movement of unemployed workers
into vacant jobs are the cause of frictional unemployment (Mitanni,1998 p434)

2.3.2 Structural unemployment


Structural unemployment is unemployment resulting from permanent shifts in the pattern of
demand for goods and services or from change in technology such as automation or
computerization. Structural unemployed workers have skills that are not in demand by employers
because of permanent change in the economy. Structural unemployment often requires that
workers who lose their jobs as a result of such changes learn new skill or move to other locations
to find satisfactory new jobs (Hyman, 1998 p166).

2.3.3 Cyclical Unemployment


Cyclical unemployment is the amount of unemployment resulting from declines in real gross do
domestic product during the period of contraction or recession, or in any period when the
economy fails to operate at its potential (Hyman, 1998 p166-7).

2.3.4 Seasonal Unemployment


It is found in a country, Weather is developed or underdeveloped. It implies not only
underutilization labor power, but also capital stocks used in industries of seasonal nature. This
poses a serious problem or wastage of productive resources for an underdeveloped country
which is already deficient in capital resources (Hyman, 1998: p13-14).

2.3.5 Technological Unemployment


It is a type of unemployment takes place in an economy as a result of technological
improvement. Due to the introduction of new machinery improvement method of production
labor saving devices, etc. some workers tend to be replaced by machines, so workers leave from
their jobs (Hyman, 1998 p168-9).

8
2.4 Major causes of Unemployment
Unemployment occurs when the economy fails to absorb the labor force. There are varies cause
that contribute the rise of unemployment. Some of them are: rapid population growth, migration,
low level of investment, slow economic growth, low level of education, technology, inflation,
political problems social problems…etc.

2.4.1 Population Growth


One of the fundamental factors attributed to high unemployment in Ethiopia is rapid growth of
population and mismatch with economic growth. Population growth is the major cause of growth
of the labor force. Hundreds of thousands of young people join the labor force every year,
putting preserve on the economic to create jobs that should absorb the additional labor force.

2.4.2 Slow Economic Growth


Insufficient economic development in the country is responsible for the occurrence of
unemployment. Growth of output is a precondition for the growth of employment and the
economics of growth largely depends on the nature of growth .Growth strategies may employ
technologies that could be labor intensive or capital incentive in nature (Hyman, 1998 p 321).

2.4.3 Patterns of Investment


The poor facilitation of investment in Ethiopia is a factor that extends the problems of
unemployment. The growth of investment in Ethiopia is not satisfactory due to different factors,
such as low saving, low infrastructure, political instability, lack of good governance, low market
development (especially in rural areas), problem relate to land acquisition, low interest rate and
others. Due to these factors, foreign investors no attract to invest the country as a result there is
no chance to create new job opportunists for the job seekers (Henok, 2006 p504-5).

2.4.4 Migration
One of the most important components of population dynamics that has serous implication for
the level of employment is the direction and volume of migration. The urban labor grows as
result of the combined effect of the natural increase in urban areas and from rural-urban
migration. Migration is one of the factors which aggravate unemployment. Rural-urban
migration to day should be viewed as a major contribution factors to urban surplus labor force
which continues to accelerate the serious of urban unemployment problem (Birhanu, 2001:11-3).

9
2.4.5 The Education System
The educational system of the country is designed on the ground that it does not provide the
students with marketable skills is being more of theoretical. Because students lack of training
faculties, lack of vocational and professional guidance. The economic sectors could not provide
employment for all graduates from higher education. Moreover, those employed could from not
be produce as expected. Graduate have the political to acquire skills but they are generally very
little practical skills needed in the work place. There is also a mismatch between the type of work
for which people are trained and willing to work on one, and the job opportunities available on
the other (Birhanu, 2001 p15-7).

2.5. Consequence of Unemployment


According to Martin Kornblum (1999 p412-19) noted that, unemployment has many effects on
the society. Some of them are:

2.5.1. The Effects of unemployment on the youth


As he identified, unemployment is a particular serious problem for the young .Unemployment
disrupts the normal transition to adult hood the young unemployed are denied the opportunity to
be independent from parents and often experience long period poverty (Kornblum 1999 p397).

2.5.2. The Effects of Unemployment on the Personal


Isolation of most unemployment peoples has no close friends, never visited neighbors and few
belonged to organizations or engaged in organized activities (oilmen 1993:35 cities in Kornblum
1999:398). When work times are cut, participation in community life declines and the sense of
isolation grows. Thus, those who have been squeezed out of the labor market, and those who
seldom get in to it are often isolated from their communities and from society at large.
Unemployment causes low self-confidence and low self-esteem are at the risk to lose their place
in the society and turn to seclusion, drug abuse and sometimes even criminality (Hyman, 998
p182).

2.5.3. Emotional and Social Effects


Prolonged joblessness causes serious psychological and social change. Significant part of today
works force has been denied not only the benefits of a regular and sufficient income but also
emotional rewards of the a steady jobs the sense of self-worth that comes from doing a job wall

10
and having other value that performance, the sense of community of stared by daily association
with colleagues is sum the feeling that one is participating in society and contributing to it.
Unemployment is a major social problem because enormous suffering as unemployed workers
struggle with reduced incomes. It is a well-known fact that unemployment has a direct
relationship with some social problems or anti-social activities like increase poverty, social
unrest, theft, robberies, violence potential psychological harm, loss of motivation and increase in
crime rates (Zerihun, 2005 p210).

2.5.4..The impact of unemployment on the political and Economic


That millions are permanently exclude from the productive process is s condition, which cannot
be tolerated for any length of time. The unemployed individual wants work. He wants to earn
because he considers the opportunities, which wages afford higher than doubtful value of
permanent leisure in poverty. He despairs, because he is unable to find work. From among the
unemployed, the adventures and the aspiring dictators select their storm troopers (Sernessls,
2004 p127-8).

Persistently high unemployment create huge cost for individuals and for the economy as whole
some of these costs are difficult to value and measure especially the longer term social costs.
Some of the impact of unemployment on economic are, loss of income, negative multiplier
effect, loss of national output and fiscal output.

2.6. Empirical Literature Review


These sections assess the evidence finding of various studies from the literature in general and
those with particular emphasis on the nature of unemployment in developing countries.

2.6.1. Nature of Unemployment in Developing Country


The nature and magnitude of unemployment is different across in different geographical areas.
According to Mitanni (1998:89-90) noted that the nature of unemployment in developing
countries is differ from that of the advanced countries. In economically advanced countries,
unemployment occurs due to trade cycle, thus, the majority problem is that demand deficient, it
arises during recession or depression period. Unlike developed countries, developing countries
are characterized by large scale disguised unemployment, especial in agriculture sector of rural
areas the problem of in developing countries is that of under employment in one country, the

11
incidence of unemployment in poor country is speed over the bulk of the population instead of
narrow range of in particular group of works.

ILO (1998:34-5) reported that the number of unemployed people throughout the world has 150
million people that were seeking and available for work but could not find it. But few years
earlier, the number of unemployed people in the world has been 140 million people.
Unemployment has now in the third world countries become one of the serious and chronic
problems in ever developing country.

According to Efere(2004:245) state that the type of unemployment in under developed countries
in Africa, Asia and South America were structural or cyclical unemployment (economic
recession) may be the closest description. It is difficult to describe it as such as some countries
like Mali in Africa and Bangladesh in Asia have been in the same state of high unemployment
such unemployment in developing countries are a result of infrastructural skilled work force and
investment in the economy. This intern is result of lack of political instability, mismanagement,
lack of foreign currency reserves and problem with debt financing.

According to Todaro(1992:215-16) mention that today many developing countries are plagued
by a historical unique combination of massive rural to urban population movements, stagnation
agricultural productive and grouping unemployment. Substantial unemployment in under
developed economies is probably one of the most striking symptoms of their inadequate
development. It wide spectrums of poor countries open unemployment. In urban areas new affect
10-20% of their labor force, it is because of its relationship to the problem of third world
poverty, therefore, that the unemployment issue occupies such a central place in the study of
under development.

CHAPTER THREE

3. Research Methodology

In this study, the researcher will be employing both qualitative and quantitative (mixed)
approaches, to be drawn from primary and secondary data sources.

3.1. Research Design


Research design is plan or collecting and analyzing data in economic efficiency and relevant
manner. It facilitates smooth sailing of research operation (Solomon, 2005:14). Accordingly, the
researchers will be use descriptive type of research design. The rationale behind for the
researcher using this type of research design is that; enable the researcher towill obtain complete
and adequate information on the intend problem.

3.2. Methods of Data collection


3.2.1. Primary Data (Key Informant interview & Questionnaire)
Every community has people who by accident, experience, talent, or training can proved the
most complete or useful information about aspect of life. These people are key cultural
consultants, also called key informants (Kottack, 2011 P54). The researchers will be selectpeople
who are knowledgeable about unemployment and its effects on the society, economic and
government.

Questionnaire producer tend to become indirect and impersonal; often the respondents fill in the
form (Kottack, 2011 p54). In this study, the researcher will be use questionnaire paper question
to gather data from the sub city community by distribution the question paper of the problem.
The question papers will be distributing among literate people who able to read and understand
and give meaning to the question in hand.

3.2.2. Secondary Data

In this study, the researchers will be use secondary data sources to gather data about the problem
that helps to our fill gab of the primary data sources to have more understanding and organize the
problem and the researchers will be review written document such as books, magazines,

13
newspaper, annual reports, official documents and we will use website to connect more data on
the problem.

3.3. Target Population


The study will be focus on one of the wereda of Yeka sub city. In the sub city thereare 14
weredas, out of these the study will be concentrates on the wereda5. So that the target population
of the district will be concentrate with the people who live inyeka sub city wereda5, the wereda
official and employees within the district.

3.4. Sample Techniques


To conduct this study, the researchers will be use different sampling techniques among the
sampling techniques; the researchers will be mostly select simple random and systematic sample
techniques to avoid biasness among the different groups and to make the result of the research
more acceptable.

3.5. Data Collection Tools


As data collection, the researchers will be intending to use both open ended and closed ended
question and semi structure personal interview.

3.6. Methods of Data Analysis and Discussion


To conduct this study, the researchers will be use descriptive research method. For the reason
anal size will the present data to form that easy to understand and supplement by using a simple
tabulation of table and percentage used appropriately.

3.7. Ethical Consideration


In this study, the researchers will be considering the following ethics.

 We will be keep personal confidentiality while conducting the research.

 We will be free from personal bias when collecting, organizing, and analyzing the
data.
