Covid-19-induced Shocks, Access to Basic Needs and Coping Strategies.
We examine the association between the Covid-19 pandemic and and access to basic needs, and how households respond using various coping strategies in the context of Nigeria. We use data from the Covid-19 National Longitudinal Phone Surveys (Covid-19 NLPS-2020) conducted during the Covid-19 lockdown....

We use data from the Covid-19 National Longitudinal Phone Surveys (Covid-19 NLPS-2020) conducted during the Covid-19 lockdown. Our findings reveal that the Covid-19 pandemic is associated with households' exposure to shocks such as illness or injury, disruption of farming, job losses, non-farm business closure, and increase in price of food items and farming inputs. These negative shocks have severe consequences on access to basic needs of households, and the outcomes are heterogeneous across gender of household head and rural–urban residence. Households adopt a number of coping strategies, both formal and informal to mitigate the effects of the shocks on access to basic needs. The findings of this paper lend credence to the growing evidence on need to support households exposed to negative shocks and the role of formal coping mechanisms for households in developing countries. Résumé: Nous examinons le lien entre les chocs provoqués par la Covid-19 et l'accès aux services répondant aux besoins fondamentaux, et la façon dont les ménages ont réagi en utilisant diverses stratégies d'adaptation au Nigeria. Nous utilisons les données d'enquêtes téléphoniques longitudinales nationales Covid-19 (Covid-19 NLPS-2020) menées pendant le confinement lié à la Covid-19. Nos résultats révèlent que la pandémie de Covid-19 est associée à l'exposition des ménages à des chocs tels que la maladie ou les blessures, la perturbation de l'agriculture, les pertes d'emplois, la fermeture d'entreprises non agricoles et l'augmentation des prix des denrées alimentaires et des intrants agricoles. Ces chocs négatifs affectent gravement l'accès aux besoins fondamentaux des ménages, et les résultats sont hétérogènes selon le sexe des chefs de famille et selon le lieu de résidence rural ou urbain des ménages. Les ménages adoptent diverses stratégies d'adaptation formelles et informelles pour atténuer les effets des chocs sur l'accès aux besoins fondamentaux. Les conclusions de ce document donnent du crédit aux preuves de plus en plus nombreuses de la nécessité de soutenir les ménages exposés aux chocs négatifs et du rôle des mécanismes d'adaptation formels pour les ménages dans les pays en développement. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2023 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
