Abstract | In 2010, the Nigeria National Bureau of Statistics implemented the General Household Survey (GHS), which included a panel component focusing on livelihoods, agriculture, and household welfare. The GHS-Panel survey was conducted on a sample of 5,000 households and is nationally representative. The first wave of the survey was implemented in two visits to households: visit 1 ran from August to October 2010 and visit 2 ran from February to April 2011. The second wave will run from 2012/2013. Using data from the first wave, this note presents a basic profile of income sources for households in Nigeria. It explores different income sources and the correlates of income sources with household traits. Income is classified into four main categories: agricultural (growing crops or raising livestock), non-agricultural enterprise (a small shop or other form of household selfemployment), wage or salary income (having an employer), and other, non-labor income. |
