There is an urgent need to re-investigate the functional relationship between globalization, unemployment, income inequality and poverty in Africa. Unemployment accelerates the level of income inequality and poverty within a given society. It is high time that African nations look beyond the official statistics of the so called high GDP growth rate and get down to the hard business of creating real jobs that take out the hungry, angry and jobless youths from the streets into workplaces. African countries need to develop comprehensive strategies to create jobs locally. In this paper, the current author posits that there is a strong linkage between globalization, unemployment, income inequality and poverty in Africa. Some mechanisms were proffered to overcome these bottlenecks.
