Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between food insecurity and poverty in Nigeria.Poverty and food insecurity is social determinants of economic wellbeing. The pandemic COVID 19 which had extremely affected the world economy has also increased the rate of food insecurity as well as poverty in various households by 16%. The present economic conditions have produced a pattern of widespread starvation among the poor with more people dying from poverty-related causes. The rapid increases in food insecurity are as a result of the pandemic, lack of agricultural storage facilities for food, and act

Abstract:
Nigeria is a nation blessed with intellectuals, technocrats and abundant mineral resources, yet the majority of the citizens live in abject poverty. The effect of poverty is pervasive. A poor man is a problem for society and even unto himself. He is always angry, never productive and seeks succor in militia activities. Poverty to a large extent is the root cause of insecurity in Nigeria. Thus, the study examines the relationship between poverty and insecurity in Nigeria. A descriptive method was adopted and data was collected via a survey of six hundred (600) respondents using non-probabilisti

Abstract:
Sadly and ironically, Nigeria is regarded as a nation flowing with milk and honey, yet the majority of the citizens live in abject poverty. Faulty development policies pursued since 1999 have left the people pauperized and decimated. These are manifested in increasing poverty, unemployment, poor housing facilities, diseases, the total collapse of social security, poor medical care, etc. Poverty and unemployment as social problems have remained the major development challenges in Nigeria today. It is against this backdrop that this paper examines the relationships between poverty, unemployment

Abstract:
Because parental alcohol misuse is associated with numerous negative outcomes for drinkers and other family members, it is important to examine factors predictive of alcohol misuse patterns among parents living with at least one child under the age of 18. Two possible factors include economic insecurity and poverty. This study sought to address whether measures of economic insecurity (i.e., housing and/or food insecurity in the past 12 months) and a dichotomous measure of poverty predict parental binge drinking and parental heavy alcohol consumption in a large population-based sample.

Abstract:
Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in Latin America. This study analyzes whether rural poverty increases the incidence of food insecurity and whether food insecurity perpetuates the condition of poverty among the rural poor in Bolivia. In order to achieve this aim, the risks that households face and the capacity of households to implement coping strategies in order to mitigate vulnerability shocks are identified. We suggest that efforts by households to become food secure may be difficult in rural areas because of poverty and the vulnerability associated with a lack of physical assets, lo

Over 17 million food-insecure households are associated with increasing obesity rates across the United States. Although food insecurity and obesity are distinct social concerns, the two are linked and may be influenced by poverty and geographic location. Public health authorities and state leaders responsible for the health and nutrition of rural populations in particular would benefit from this information. The purpose of this quantitative cross-sectional study was to examine whether poverty mediated the relationship between food insecurity and obesity among urban and rural adults. The study

The relationship between malnutrition, food insecurity, and poverty in older persons from urban Latin America has, to date, received relatively little attention. This thesis aims to address this important issue in the setting of Mexico City and its Metropolitan Zone. A theoretical framework has been developed to understand the causal linkages between the determinants of malnutrition, food insecurity and poverty, and current data are then used to describe how this public health concern manifests itself in urban Latin American contexts.

Poverty is a historical development curse in Tanzania, which has incited extensive institutional reforms and policy changes and received numerous analyses in development research literature. Paradoxically, taking actions to study and alleviate poverty have increased with its continuing severity. A substantial body of research on poverty in the country suggests that, the vast majority of these studies focus on the content rather than the context of poverty alleviation processes. Specifically, the focus has been on: ideas, interests and struggles for resources between political leaders and burea

Abstract:
This paper addresses COVID-19 in India, looking at how the interplay of inequality, vulnerability, and the pandemic has compounded uncertainties for poor and marginalised groups, leading to insecurity, stigma and a severe loss of livelihoods. A strict government lockdown destroyed the incomes of farmers and urban informal workers and triggered an exodus of migrant workers from Indian cities, a mass movement which placed additional pressures on the country's rural communities. Elsewhere in the country, lockdown restrictions and pandemic response have coincided with heatwaves, floods and cyclone
