Education as the Root of Poverty in African Countries: Education-Induced Dependency Theory: Productive Capability, Economic Dependency and African Development - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

What happens when people spend most of their lives being educated, graduate, and still cannot find
employment?

Education as the Root of Poverty in African Countries introduces Education-Induced Dependency Theory
(EIDT), a proposed development framework examining how qualification-centred education can reinforce
economic dependence when theoretical knowledge is not matched by sufficient practical and productive
capability.

The book explores the relationship between education, graduate unemployment, skills mismatch, employment
dependence and African development. Rather than rejecting education, it argues for a broader purpose:
education should develop people who can not only seek jobs, but also produce, build, solve problems, create
value and participate in economic life through multiple pathways.

Drawing on established development thought while presenting a distinct theoretical model, this concise
monograph invites readers, educators, policymakers and researchers to reconsider how education can
strengthen productive capability and economic self-reliance.
