      Abstract

Many efforts have been made to strike a balance between family size and standard of living at prevalent rate of the scourged of poverty level. This research examines the relationship between family size and poverty levels in Mangu LGA. The initial idea was to look at the extent of poverty among family sizes.

Twenty (20) respondents of either male or female per head from each district, two hundred and eight (208) were retrieved for analysis. Simple descriptive data analysis were presented with respect to socio-demographic information, family size and determinant factors of poverty and both multivariate and ANOVA for the statistical test. The result witnessed a high educational attainment and monogamous marriage practice, total dependence of farming as source of income. An average of six (6) children per head, twice meal intake on a daily bases without protein content, few numbers of children in school, dilapidated structure of houses of most of respondents, and access to medical care were at shops (chemist). There is a high prevalence of poverty in Mangu LGA at 92% in terms of dollar rating of poverty.
