Area of Science:

  • Socioeconomics
  • Public Health
  • Development Studies

Background:

  • The Covid-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges to household welfare globally.
  • Access to basic needs and household resilience were significantly impacted, particularly in developing countries.
  • Nigeria experienced substantial socioeconomic disruptions due to the pandemic and associated containment measures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the association between the Covid-19 pandemic and access to basic needs in Nigeria.
  • To identify household coping strategies in response to pandemic-related shocks.
  • To analyze the heterogeneity of impacts based on household head gender and residence.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the Covid-19 National Longitudinal Phone Surveys (Covid-19 NLPS-2020).
  • Analyzed data collected during the Covid-19 lockdown period in Nigeria.
  • Employed statistical methods to assess the relationship between pandemic shocks and access to basic needs.

Main Results:

  • The pandemic was linked to increased household exposure to shocks, including illness, job losses, business closures, and rising food/input prices.
  • These shocks severely affected households' access to basic needs, with varied effects across gender and rural-urban divides.
  • Households employed diverse formal and informal coping strategies to mitigate negative consequences.

Conclusions:

  • The Covid-19 pandemic significantly threatened household access to basic needs in Nigeria.
  • Household coping mechanisms, both formal and informal, were crucial for mitigating pandemic-related shocks.
  • There is a demonstrated need for supporting households, especially in developing nations, through robust formal coping mechanisms.
