RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Introduction
This chapter deals with the methodology that will be used in the study. It presents the research design, Area of study, model specification, conceptual framework, definition, measurement and expected signs of variables, measurement of unemployment, data source and type
Research Design
The appropriate research design for this study will be survey design as it considers both qualitative and quantitative data analysis. Survey design is used to collect generalised data and information from a well known human population. It is efficient in giving large amount of data at a very low cost in short time period possible Smith (1975). Thus, using this research design format will enable the researcher to get data or information in less time.
Model Specification and Conceptual Framework
Conceptual Framework
In this study, the econometric model that was used is the mincerian earnings function model (Mincer, 1974). The model was used by Daniel Cooper (2014) in the analysis of the effect of unemployment duration on future earnings/wage. The model stated that there is a link between wages/earnings and the quantity of skills owned by individuals in a competitive labor market.
