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.
|
|
|
