abstract: 'Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors influencing
the food insecurity status of the working poor households in south west
Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach International Labour Organisation
poverty line, Household Food Insecurity Access Scale as well as the
Ordered Logit model were used to identify the factors influencing the
food insecurity status of the working poor households in south west
Nigeria. Findings The study revealed that more than half of the
respondents were working poor households, with more than four-fifths of
them being food insecure. Income irregularity, savings and level of
education had major roles to play in the food insecurity status of
working poor households. Social implications Employment has always been
considered as a route out of poverty and food insecurity. However, the
intensity of poverty among working households should be considered in
the design and development of policy and programmes, targeted towards
workers. Laws should protect the right of workers against non-payment of
salaries, advantages of family planning should be emphasised, social
security allowance should be provided to serve as an alternative source
of income during emergencies and more investment made in education.
Originality/value This paper attempts to bridge the knowledge gap in the
empirical link between employment, poverty and food insecurity.
Particularly, its application to the working households. Peer review The
