dc.description.abstractInternal displacement is a growing menace in countries, particularly, sub-Sahara Africa. Affected persons are made to flee their shelters due to occurrences like armed conflicts, natural disasters or war. This study examined adjustment strategies to job losses among internally displaced persons in Abuja, Nigeria. A total of four hundred IDPs in Yimitu village, Waru District participated in the study. A self-designed questionnaire entitled “Adjustment Strategies of Internally Displaced Persons Questionnaire” was used for data collection. Four research questions and four null hypotheses were raised and tested respectively at 0.05 level of significance. Descriptive statistics, t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were employed for data analysis. Findings revealed that common adjustment strategies adopted by internally displaced persons included trading, accessing low interest loans either from banks or NGOs, group/collective ownership of business activities, acquisition of skills, as well as furthering of one’s education. There was significant difference in adjustment strategies between male and female IDPs. Recommendations include involving rehabilitation and career counsellors in the various programmes designed for assisting IDPs.en_US
