Abstrakt | The study analysed rural farming households’ poverty status and alleviating strategies in Benue State, Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to: describes the rural household heads’ socio-economic characteristics; determine the poverty status of the respondents and its determinants; and identify poverty alleviating strategies of the respondents. Data for the study was collected from 420 respondents selected using a multi-stage sampling technique. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty measurement index, and the Binary Logistic regression model. The findings of the study revealed a very high incidence of poverty (70%), having a gap of 0.34, and severity of 0.17. Poverty in the area is positively associated with the age of the household head and household size, while gender, educational level, off-farm activity, membership of a group, farm size, and land ownership are negatively associated with poverty. The common poverty alleviation strategies identified were agricultural wage labour (48.6%), rental services (45.0%), and transportation business (36.7%). Therefore, it was recommended that the government and other stakeholders should initiate sustainable social protection schemes that can assist rural residents in alleviating poverty until their condition improves. |

Abstrakt | Celem pracy jest określenie wpływu czynników społeczno-ekonomicznych klientów (wiek, miejsce zamieszkania, wykształcenie, aktywność zawodowa, poziom dochodów, poziom kompetencji informatycznych) na korzystanie z produktów i usług bankowości elektronicznej. Praca składa się z dwóch części. W pierwszej przedstawiono wyniki wcześniejszych badań dotyczących zagadnień korzystania klientów banków z produktów i usług świadczonych drogą elektroniczną. W drugiej części przedstawiono opis badań własnych oraz ich wyniki. Wpływ czynników demograficznych na poziom korzystania określono za pomocą testu chi-kwadrat. Wyniki badań wskazują, że tylko wiedza i umiejętności informatyczne respondentów mają wpływ na korzystanie z produktów i usług bankowości elektronicznej jedynie w zakresie bankowości mobilnej. |
