dc.description.abstractI lousing Workers is of prime importance lo the economy of a country. This is in view of the fact that housing environment influences their productivity and safety. A good housing package for industrial workers will lead lo high productivity and consequently lo a better economy. However, in most industrial towns in Nigeria and Kaduna in particular, there is shortage of adequate housing facilities for the industrial workers due to failure of the industrial management lo provide houses for their workers, shortage of housing sloek in areas adjoining the industrial Zones, failure on the pari of government in enforcing the Employee housing scheme (special provision) Decree and relevant policies, others include decent income which are dependent on the effectiveness of the macro, economic, social and others related policies. This thesis therefore, seeks to investigate the problems militating against an efficient and effective provision of houses for the industrial workers and to pro for solution to these problems. Information was collected on Housing situation of industrial workers in Kaduna, qualitative/quantitative aspects of industrial workers houses, characteristics of journey to work of industrial workers, and polieies on housing industrial workers. After a careful analysis of the data, it was observed that most of the workers reside far away from their working place and this has a negative effect on productivity. They reside in house in deplorable conditions. The study found out that 90% of the workers are not housed by the management of the industries.en_US
