ABSTRACT

This research investigates the inequality in income and wealth distribution in Nigeria from 2010-2021. Auto-regressive distribution lags model (ARDL) based on the unit root and granger casualty test was used to determine effect of four major factors: literacy rate, life expectancy rate, poverty rate, and unemployment rate on real gross domestic product (RGDP) which represents economic growth. The findings from the empirical point of view show a positive relationship of gross domestic product (GDP) with poverty rate, per capita income while literacy rate, life expectancy rate, and unemployment rate show a negative relationship with gross domestic product (GDP). Also, poverty rate, literacy rate, life expectancy, and unemployment rate are all not significant at all levels of significance.
