Cyclical unemployment occurs when there is insufficient demand within the economy, meaning that producers do not need current amount of capital to satisfy demand for it's products, so he cuts his production and therefore sack workers. Government could intervene by increasing it's spending (which is an injection in the circular flow of income) and by decreasing income taxes, so consumers have more disposable income to spend on goods. Such policies would stimulate aggregate demand, meaning that suppliers need more factors of production and thus more workers to satisfy an increased demand. So they hire workers, therefore decreasing cyclical, or demand-defficient unemployment.

What are the characteristics of the illegal drugs market?

In the short term, the demand for illegal drugs is inelastic. As a result of law enforcement policies that reduce the supply of drugs tend to greatly increase the price of drugs , while reducing the quantity of drugs consumed very little. This increases the revenue to drug dealers. On a long term basis, only policies that reduce the demand for drugs create a more elastic market place for this type of illegal trade.

How do you control inflation in Nigeria?

Monetary PolicyWith growth of 3.8%, demand in the economy could be growing faster than capacity can grow to meet it. This leads to inflationary pressures. We can term this demand pull inflation. Therefore, reducing the growth of Aggregate demand, should reduce inflationary pressures.The Central bank could increase interest rates. Higher rates make borrowing more expensive and saving more attractive. This should lead to lower growth in consumer spending and investment. A higher interest rate should also lead to higher exchange rate, which helps to reduce inflationary pressure bymaking imports cheaper.Reducing demand for exports andIncreasing incentive for exporters to cut costs.Fiscal PolicyThe government can increase taxes (such as income tax and VAT) and cut spending. This improves the budget situation and helps to reduce demand in the economy.Both these policies reduce inflation by reducing growth of Aggregate Demand. In Nigeria's case, the economy seems to be growing reasonably strongly. Therefore, we can reduce inflationary pressures without causing a recession.If Nigeria had high inflation and negative growth, then reduce aggregate demand would be more unpalatable as reducing inflation would lead to lower output and higher unemployment. They could still reduce inflation, but, it would be much more damaging to the economy.
