Abstract

This study examines major socio-economic determinants of child labour in North-Eastern Nigeria. The study employs multistage sampling techniques to obtain required data from selected local government areas in three states of North Eastern Nigeria, namely, Adamawa, Bauchi, and Yobe States. Structured questionnaires were administered to 810 children and their household heads in three wards of each local government area selected. The data obtained was analyzed using the Tobit Model. The result shows that socio-economic determinants of child labour comprise children’s age, children’s gender, children’s relationship with household head, household head’s education, household head’s occupation, and poverty, which is measured by household head’s income, family size, access to clean piped water, and distance from school. Among them, some were found to be statistically significant at varying levels. Therefore, the study recommends necessary actions such as enlightenment on the effects of child labour, severe punishment of those found involved in child labour related activities, and the need for the government to make adequate provision for basic infrastructure.

Abstract

Poverty is a disease that continues to cause insecurity and other forms of social vices in a country, which in turn affects the growth and development of the nation. The increasing poverty rate, especially in Nigeria, has become a complex problem that has resulted in economic degradation, which must be immediately resolved. Therefore, this study examines poverty and its intractability in Nigeria: causes and consequences. The study analyzes the data using Ordinary Least Square methods. The data were obtained from Federal Reserve Economic Data and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The results indicate that the poverty rate will rise by 0.035375 and 2.564296 units, respectively, for every unit increase in population and unemployment (UMP). Besides, the result shows that a unit increase in the human development index (HDI) will lead to a -4.347621 decrease in the poverty rate in Nigeria. The framework affirms that poverty is an intractability in Nigeria. The study consequently suggests that the government, non-governmental organizations, and private citizens prioritize funding for human development and embrace a solid fiscal policy that will boost economic output and lower the country's degree of poverty.
