dc.descriptionThis Study Evaluate the Incidence and Depth of Health Poverty in Lagos State, Nigeria.
dc.description.abstractPoverty as a concept has evolved over the years, and is now of varied forms such as energy poverty, water poverty and health poverty. This study therefore explores health poverty in Lagos State with the aim of ascertaining the depth and gap. To achieve this, descriptive survey design which involved the use of well-structured questionnaires were administered to 346 respondents from 10 Local Government Areas (LGAs). The data was analysed using various analytical tools such as descriptive statistics, headcount, mean overshoot and mean positive overshoot at varied thresholds. The findings revealed that there were high incidence and intensity of health poverty among the sampled/individuals in the studied. However, as the threshold increased upwards, the incidence and severity of health poverty decline. Based on the findings, the study therefore recommends among others that, most individuals need to be protected against excessive healthcare spending.
