This study investigated the impact of unemployment on economic growth in Nigeria from 1990 to 2020. Population rate, unemployment rate and labour force were used as independent variables while Gross domestic product (GDP) as dependent variable. Annual time series data on our targeted variables were obtained from secondary sources including the Central Bank of Nigeria annual statistical bulletin, World Bank development indicators (various years). The Eview9 Statistical Software was employed to analyze the data empirically. The Unit root test shows that Gross domestic product, unemployment rate and labour force variables to be evaluated are all stationary after first deference I(1) while population rate was stationary at level I(0). The data were analyzed using the Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL). From the results of the ARDL estimates it was revealed that among others, unemployment rate impact negatively on GDP but significant only in the long run. Population rate also impacts on gross domestic product but only significant in the short run. Labour force impact positively on Gross domestic product and statistically significant in the short run. The study recommends amongst others that government should create jobs mostly for the real sector, that is agriculture and manufacturing sectors –The Nigerian agricultural sector employs about seventy percent of the population mostly at subsistence level. If the Nigerian government supports this sector by making loans available and affordable for those in the agricultural sector, it would boost agricultural output, increase gross domestic product and decrease unemployment rate in Nigeria.

“…In other words, this study employed data collected at six points in time to identify the relationship between employment and depression among adult men. REM is one of the best approaches for analyzing panel data, as this analysis strategy is conducted based on a principle of maximum likelihood or general least squares [31]. Further, REM, which is also called the Generalized Least Square (GLS), is free of heteroscedasticity and makes it possible to approximate participants' changes at each point in time.…”

As the prevalence of depression among adult men has been increasing over time, a longitudinal approach is necessary to understand more deeply how adult men's depression prevalence has been changing and what indicators influence their levels of depression over time. This study examines how employment status affects adult men's depression and investigates an interaction effect of education level on the relationship between employment and depression. The current study employed the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 for Children and Young Adults. Using eleven waves of data, a total of 999 adult men were selected for the final sample. The current study used a Random Effects Model (REM). Employment and educational attainment significantly affected adult men's levels of depression over time. Educational attainment moderated the relationship between adult men's employment and depression levels over time. Long-term social services to help unemployed adult men should focus on improving adult men's skills and opportunities to have stable employment, leading them to have lower levels of depression over time. More opportunities for higher education should also be provided to adult men of all ages. Opportunities for unemployed men without higher education to improve their educational attainment may also help to lower their rates of depression over time.

“…This issue was also exposed by Hassett (2014), who claimed that those who are unemployed for shorter periods of time have more chance to find new employment, as opposed to a person who is required to explain a long period of unemployment. Tvrdon (2015) performed a panel regression analysis to estimate the impact of various institutional aspects on the unemployment rate and long-term unemployment. Results indicated that the total tax wedge and active labour market policies have the most significant influence.…”

The aim of this paper is to analyse the relationship between unemployment benefits and durations of unemployment with respect to different approaches in social policy. The hypothesis of the research is that unemployment benefits negatively affect the duration of unemployment. An analysis of the relationship concerning unemployment benefits and duration of unemployment within the European Union Member States (EU-28) between 2006–2018 using panel data regression approach was conducted. The sample was split into sub-samples in order to get more homogeneous groups of EU-28 countries. Estimation results suggest that the more generous a social policy, the more prevalent the negative relationship between unemployment duration and unemployment benefits. Our results also revealed that the better the economic situation, the less pressure is put on unemployment benefits and on the duration of unemployment.
