Abstract:
This study explores the relationship between poverty and selected macroeconomic variables, as well as the implication of these macroeconomics variables on poverty level in Nigeria within the period 1988- 2018. A total of six variables were employed in this study. They include; Poverty, Inflation, Unemployment, Exchange rate, Government spending, and Interest rate. All six variables were subjected to unit root test, and were found to be stationary at the first difference I(1). Using the Johansen‟s co-integration technique, the levels of co- integration of the variables were determined.
