Keywords:
Coronavirus, Criminogenic Behaviour, EmploymentAbstract
This paper is an examination of the phenomenon of unemployment and its impact on insecurity in
Nigeria, especially during COVID-19 era. The researchers employed descriptive and qualitative
analysis of data obtained from secondary sources, including published textbooks, journals, and
other internet materials relevant to the topic. The researchers posited that unemployment and
insecurity are interwoven. Thus, high incidence of unemployment promotes insecurity, just as the
latter amplifies the former. They argued that COVID-19 pandemic has increased unemployment
which resulted to high incidence of insecurity in Nigeria. The researchers, therefore, offered
recommendations including the need to effectively stem the tide of general unemployment for
security stability in Nigeria to effectively achieve socio-economic development of the country.
