“…A number of definitions have been attached to the concept. However, scholars do not generally agree on a specific definition of poverty because of the relativity of the term, but instead look at the phenomenon from its multidimensional aspects (Sen, 1983;Strier, Eisikovits, Sigad, & Buchbinder, 2015).…”

Research purpose: Eradicating poverty in the world requires some strategies, such as the poor having adequate access to productive assets and increasing their returns on assets, having adequate access to education and health facilities, increasing their access to job prospects, at the same time complementing these resources with other incomes. Hence, the goal of this study is to examine the link between human resources development and poverty in Nigeria, using annual secondary data from the Statistical Bulletin of the Central Bank of Nigeria from 1990 to 2020. Design/methodology/approach: The Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Technique was explicitly employed to arrive at the statistical and logical conclusions in determining the impact of human resource development in the face of poverty. In addition, the bound testing approach was used to measure Nigeria’s long-run relationship between human resource development and poverty. Findings: The study revealed that human resource development has a statistically insignificant but non-decreasing impact/effect on poverty incidence in Nigeria, based on the short-run ARDL assessment. Furthermore, the bound testing approach also indicates that there is indeed a long-run relationship between human resource development and poverty incidence in Nigeria. The study, therefore, concludes that poverty is inescapable and, hence, creates underdevelopment. The study advises governments at all levels to develop and implement policies and programs aimed at improving or enhancing the welfare and well-being of the masses through job creation in order to close the income gap between the affluent and the deprived. Originality/value/practical implications: Fighting poverty in Nigeria has been one of the major priorities of most governments in Nigeria. These can be observed from the nationwide planning policies that have been focused on adequate provision of access to both human and natural resources. There has been an enormous call for the massive upgrading of the productive capacity of the people through investment in human resources. This paper is one of the several articles employed to evaluate the impact of human resource development on the incidence of poverty in Nigeria.

Although high status is often considered a desirable quality, this may not always be the case. Different factors may moderate the value of high status along a dimension such as wealth (e.g. gender, perceiver income/education). For example, studies suggest men may value wealth and control over resources more than women. This may be especially true for high-income men who already have control over substantial resources. Other work suggests that low-income men and women may have different experiences in educational contexts compared to their richer peers who dominate norms at higher levels of education. These experiences may potentially lead to different attitudes about the wealthy among low-income men and women. In this registered report, we proposed two key predictions based on our review of the literature and analyses of pilot data from the Attitudes, Identities and Individual Differences (AIID) study ( n = 767): (H1) increasing income will be associated with increased pro-wealthy bias for men more than for women and (H2) income will also moderate the effect of education on implicit pro-wealthy bias, depending on gender. Overall, men showed greater implicit pro-wealthy bias than did women. However, neither of our hypotheses that income would moderate the effects of gender on implicit pro-wealthy bias were supported. These findings suggest implicit pro-wealthy bias among men and are discussed in the context of exploratory analyses of gender differences in self-reported beliefs and attitudes about the rich and the poor.

The objective of this research was to carry out a bibliometric analysis and identify the qualitative techniques used in the research on poverty in the period from 2015 to March 3, 2020, in addition to discussing the main advantages and disadvantages associated with these techniques. For this, the SCOPUS database was used, from which the most relevant studies were identified, the journals that most published on the subject, and a table was constructed with the objectives and qualitative techniques used by the authors, from 43 scientific articles, published in 38 journals and written by 121 authors and co-authors. It was found that qualitative research on the theme of poverty is distinguished according to the audience and the target location, with no standard of techniques used, which will depend on the problems and objectives of the research, however some techniques were more commonly used such as field observation, participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group, content analysis and thematic analysis. Qualitative techniques enabled researchers to understand in depth the experiences and behaviors of the investigated groups, the identification of emerging constructs and the (re) construction of their perceptions about research objects / problems, contributing to the apprehension of the causes and effects of poverty. in all its complexity. Some limitations identified were the impossibility of generalizing the results, the need for longitudinal investigations that require a large expenditure of time and financial resources, the impossibility of knowing the sample, the veracity of information and the capture of non-verbal narratives in social media research.
