Abstract
The study investigates the influence of macroeconomic policies on unemployment in Nigeria
from 1981 to 2022, employing the Johansen Cointegration Test and Vector Error Correction
Model (VECM) approach. The Johansen test reveals a long-run relationship among the
macroeconomic variables considered. However, the results of the Vector Error Correction
Mechanism indicate that the variables under study (Government Expenditure (GEXP), Tax
Revenue (TAXREV), Government Transfer Payment (GTRF), Money Supply (MS), and Lending
Rate (R)) do not exhibit significance and do not affect unemployment in Nigeria. As a
recommendation, the study suggests that the government should ensure that transfer payments
such as NPOWER, TRADERMONI, FARMERMONI, and Pension payments are appropriately
directed to achieve desired outcomes.
