Extended Family System and Welfare Care in Post COVID Nigeria: A Case Study of Warri, Nigeria
Ongoing researchThis study examines how the extended family welfare system currently stands in post COVID Nigeria, focusing on intergenerational care flow patterns and the economic factors shaping them. It analyses care flows including downward support, reversed upward support, sandwich care, and horizontal support within extended families in Warri.
Data collection uses a structured household survey deployed via KoboToolbox, and planned analyses include descriptive statistics, cross tabulations with chi square tests, and multivariate regression models.
