ABSTRACT
The research was interested in finding out the relationship of population growth and employment
in Uganda from 1991 to 2014. The study objectives were; to establish the level of population
growth in Uganda from 1991 to 2014, to determine the level of employment of Uganda from
1991 to 2014, and to find out the relationship between population growth and employment in
Uganda from 1991 to 2014. However, the research hypothesis was that there is a significant
relationship between population growth and employment in Uganda. Analysis such as
Correlation, regression analysis mechanisms was used, the sample size was a time series data
from 1991 to 2014, indicating that the number of sample was eleven and the secondary data
collected were entered in the record sheet and edited before analysis. The research revealed that
the level of population growth was showing a rapid increase meanwhile and employment also
showed a general increase for the period under studied from 1991 to 2014. Using the correlation,
regression approach, there was a strong positive correlation between population growth and
employment (r 0.92), also there was a relationship between population growth and
employment at 0.05 level of significance. In conclusion therefore, population growth and
employment showed a general increase for the period under study, there was a strong positive
correlation between population growth and employment and their relationship was found to be at
0.05 level of significance. The null hypothesis that there is no significant relationship among
population and unemployment was rejected, concluding that there is relationship between the
population growth and employment, implying that population growth effects employment, which
means the population growth influenced or contributed 84% of the unemployment. The
Researcher recommended the government to bring Population policies that geared to reducing
population to sizeable. The researchers also recommend the government to encourage self employment through mechanization and modernization.
