Human Capital Development and Public Health Expenditure
This study investigates the role of public health expenditure on human capital development in South Africa to promote economic development. Despite extensive public health investments and economic reforms, persistent socioeconomic challenges such as poverty, unemployment, and inequality impede sustainable economic growth. This study uses an autoregressive distributed lag model, a vector error correction model (VECM), quantile regression, and Gran…
Employment, human capital, and economic complexity as drivers of sustainable growth
Achieving sustainable economic growth remains a key priority for developing economies aiming to overcome structural inequalities. While prior research has examined employment, human capital, and economic complexity as determinants of economic performance, limited attention has been given to their effects on sustainable growth through a gender perspective. This study fills this gap by analysing how the labour market, skills formation, and economic…
A comparative analysis of gender diversity in labour participation and growth in Sub-Saharan African countries
In recent years, official statistics on female labour supply in several emerging nations have shown that female labour force participation rates are dropping. Although development organisations have created and implemented non-contextual empowerment initiatives, some of which have improved women's lives, a desirable outcome has not been achieved. A comparative analysis of gender diversity in labour economic participation and growth in sub-Saharan…
The drivers of sustainable development in South African economy
Contemporary societies have challenges in achieving sustainable development, while African economies remain quite distant from this ideal course for sustainable growth. Likewise, official statistics in South Africa show a wide gap between male and female involvement in economic activities. Given this, the study investigates the connection between three dimensions of sustainable development and female advancement in South Africa using auto-regress…
Promoting Women’s Empowerment
Women’s empowerment (WE) is one of the main challenges to economic development in African countries. Scholars have criticized national development initiatives to focus on well-being issues and treat women as the passive beneficiaries of welfare-enhancing assistance. This study uses panel fully modified least square and vector error correction model to investigate the impact of interactive effects of WE and financial development (FD) on employment…
Foreign Aid and Institutional Quality towards Reducing Gender-Based Violence
Studies have shown a possible link between women achieving some degree of economic independence through empowerment and a decline in gender-based violence (GBV). However, inadequate funding has been a major challenge in developing economies, while foreign aid has been seen as an alternative funding source. Foreign aid for promoting women’s rights and gender equality is improving in African countries. Yet, according to official statistics, the fre…
Trade openness channels and labour market performance
Purpose The implications of trade on developing economies have generated substantial debates with most studies focussed on “openness in the policy”. Hence, the purpose of this study is to focus on “openness in practice”. Design/methodology/approach This study uses two models and employed the vector error correction model and structural vector autoregression, first, to examine the sectoral effects; second, to investigate the efficacy of neoclassic…
Creativity and Organisational Efficiency
The study investigated creativity and organisational efficiency in Nigerian private organisations to ascertain the extent to which workforce creativity enhances organisational efficiency. The quantitative methodology was employed and the research design was a cross-sectional survey. Stratified sampling was employed in selecting respondents from ten multinational companies across the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. Research data were elicited f…
Financial stability and entrepreneurship development in sub-Sahara Africa
This study examined the relationship between financial stability and entrepreneurship development in Sub-Sahara Africa, thereby scaling up the achievement of SDGs 1, 5, 8, 9, 10 and 12. The study made use of pooled data from 24 sub-Sahara Africa countries covering the period from 2004 to 2017. The method of analysis utilised is the pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) and random effects techniques. The findings revealed that financial stability (w…
Managing Diversity for Organizational Efficiency
The article examined "managing diversity for organizational efficiency." It sought to find out the extent to which diversity management influences organizational efficiency through the management of conflict, cultural diversity, and employees' perception of marginalization as well as teamwork and employee work attitude. The survey design was employed. A sample of 178 respondents from nine multinational companies in south-south Nigeria was employe…
Human capital channels and productivity growth
Numerous studies have examined the relationship between human capital and productivity. However, the implications of human capital channels -the 'basic channel' and 'advanced channel' -were discounted from most of the empirical studies in Africa. This study, therefore, uses Vector Error Correction Model to examine the joint short-and long-run causality, as well as long-run behaviour of human capital channels on productivity within the period from…
Agricultural Production in Rural Communities
This study examines the implication of economic and socioeconomic factors on agricultural output in rural communities of Nigeria. The analyses were carried out in two models using descriptive statistics and least square estimation technique. The first model was specified for four major crops; the second model was the extended form on the aggregated output. Evidence from both the first and extended models showed that the socioeconomic factors are …
Economic Growth, Agricultural Output and Tourism Development in Nigeria
Drawing from three tourism-growth theories: tourism led growth theory; growth led tourism theory; tourism – growth neutrality theory; and one agriculture-growth nexus theory – agriculture overlapping theory, this study used the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bound testing approach to examine whether or not cointegration exist among economic growth, agricultural output and tourism development in Nigeria. We intend to know what policy instru…
Foreign aid, human capital and economic growth nexus
This study investigates the link between aid and human capital in promoting economic growth of Nigeria. The study used two models; the first model was used to test the validity of the medicine model in Nigeria; while the extended model was used to investigate the effect of aid and human capital shocks on growth using Engle-Granger and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) estimation techniques respectively. The findings from the first model sugges…
Inclusive Growth, Agriculture and Employment in Nigeria
The Nigerian economy has been experiencing a jobless growth for over two decades. The main driver of this growth has been petroleum oil whose price started falling since 2015. The petroleum oil, which is the major driver of this growth, creates few jobs and as such, it is less inclusive. This paper, therefore, focused on agriculture as alternative to oil and as such investigates the areas where agriculture can replace petroleum oil as the major d…
