dc.description.abstract |
The COVID-19 disease has infected many countries, causing generalized impacts on different
income categories. We carried out a survey among households (n = 412) representing different
income groups in Nigeria. We used validated food insecurity experience and socio-psychologic
tools. Data obtained were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The earning capacities
of the respondents ranged from 145 USD/month for low-income earners to 1945 USD/month for
high-income earners. A total of 173 households (42%) ran out of food during the COVID-19 pandemic.
All categories of households experienced increasing dependency on the general public and
a perception of increasing insecurity, with the high-income earners experiencing the greatest shift.
In addition, increasing levels of anger and irritation were experienced among all categories. Of the
socio-demographic variables, only gender, educational level of the household head, work hours
per day, and family income based on society class were associated (p < 0.05) with food security and
hunger due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although psychological stress was observed to be greater in
the low-income earning group, household heads with medium and high family income were more
likely to have satisfactory experiences regarding food security and hunger. It is recommended that
socio-economic groups should be mapped and support systems should target each group to provide
the needed support in terms of health, social, economic, and mental wellness. |
