Abstract

This study aims to examine between foreign direct investments nexus unemployment in the Intergovernmental Authority for Development member countries from East Africa. The study employed panel data approach for member countries from the year of 1996–2021. It concluded that annual unemployment rate, annual population growth rate, and economic growth of the host countries have significant impacts on foreign direct investments. Since the purpose of this study was to examine the relations ship between foreign direct investment and unemployment, and the findings of the study determined that foreign direct investment has a significant negative impact on unemployment. Additionally, the impact of these host countries was confirmed to be the same as cross-sectional entities of member countries. According to the study, the public sector should create a climate that attracts foreign direct investments there by absorbing unemployed groups and driving employment rates upward.
