Abstract

The study investigated the effect of insurgency on the livelihood status of women poultry keepers in Yobe State through a comparative analysis. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select three hundred and twelve (312) respondents from the insurgency and noninsurgency areas. Data were collected on livelihood assets and livelihood status indices of women poultry keepers. Descriptive and t-test analysis was carried out to discover the effect of insurgency on livelihood assets and livelihood status indices of women poultry keepers. The results revealed that there was a significant difference between human capital (t – value= -9.622, p< 0.05), social capital (t – value= -10.927, p< 0.05), financial capital (t – value= -3.105, p< 0.05) and livelihood status indices (t – value= -6.756, p< 0.05) of poultry keepers in insurgency and non-insurgency areas. The findings imply that insurgency had negative effects on human capital, social capital, financial capital, and livelihood status indices of poultry keepers. Therefore, governments should work with the people to engender peaceful co-existence and direct specific interventions for women poultry keepers affected by insurgency in Yobe State to build their livelihood capitals and livelihood status.
