CHAPTER ONE

  • INTRODUCTION

The term poverty is multi – dimensional concept.
Improving
access to the labour market in the informal economy or agriculture,
increase income and strengthens social networks. Such access can
constitute a powerful tool for poverty reduction. Learning vocational
skills helps to ensure food security and rural development, both of
which are important when fighting poverty. Skills acquisition strategies
must look not only at households but also at communities and
territories, as local condition are a key element.
Poverty means
more than simply low income. It includes lack of voice in determining
what goes on in one’s community, as well as vulnerable livelihoods,
food, insecurity is often a reality of poverty.
Skills development
contributes to social and economic integration. Ensuring that the
learning needs of all young people and adults are met through equitable
access to appropriate learning and life skills programmes is one of the
six outlined in the Dakar framework for Action to achieve Education for
all (EFA). Providing training in vocational skills plays an important
role in equipping young people and adults with the skills required for
work and social integration.
Yet, governments often pay little
attention to skills training for youth and adults. Similarly, donors and
international organizations often conceptualize EFA narrowly, over –
emphasizing formal general education. As a result, progress towards a
more comprehensive approach has been slow.
In poor countries,
preparing young people for work often means improving their access to
the information sector. More attention is being paid to the informal
sector within the framework of training and poverty reduction policies.
In
many transition economics too, the informal sector is growing. This
movement can be seen as a form of impoverishment, although it represents
an important dimension of the economy by providing employment and
generating income for the poor and needy. Skill development, together
with other social protection measures, can certainly constitute a
powerful tool for poverty reduction.
An increasing number of countries are designing innovative strategies in this direction.
Beside
the informal sector, the rural economy, and particularly agriculture
constitutes the main livelihood for the poor. Meaningful skills
development programmes targeting rural communities need to be placed
within a rural development. Strengthening the skills of rural
communities can reduce their vulnerability and help them to cope with
new economic and social conditions.
When policy makers are willing
to invest in skills development to reduce poverty, an immediate problem
for many low – income countries is the capacity of the delivery system,
both in size and relevance.
Implementing a skills development
policy to reduce poverty also implies building a system able to meet
this specific demand. Adequate incentives and support mechanism are
needed to stimulate and improve the training capacity of the non –
government providers. Another strategy is to encourage public
institutions to target the poor and use new training methodologies.
In
order to determine the effective and effective realization of the
panacea of skill acquisition to poverty reduction in any developing
nation, the government needs to formulate a strategic plan in skills
development which will serve as the pathway in which the nation will
take to succeed in its struggles.
This study is meant to examine
and highlight the various contributions of skills acquisition to poverty
reduction in Ekiti – State, (1999 – 2010) the study will also discover
the poverty level in Ekiti – State and how it can be improved through
skills acquisition by both youths and adults in Ekiti – State.
