Abstract

This piece of work aimed at ascertaining the relationship of job creation and income generation with poverty reduction ofSSEs workers in Kano and Niger States of Nigeria. Chi square was adopted to test the two hypotheses in order to determine the degree of association of job creation, income generation and povertyreductionof SSEs workers and the difference in level of poverty reductionof the workers in the two States. The study administered a structured open-close ended questionnaire on 157 sampled workers from a population of 5000 workers (3264 for Kano and 1736 for Niger) obtained from the registered SSEs in the study areas. The theory of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs was applied. The association of job creation and income generation with poverty reduction of the workers was established at 21.0% and 27.4% response for Kano State and 9.7% and 12.9% response for Niger State respectively. Also, a non-significant difference occurred in the level of poverty reduction of SSEs workers in study areasat Pearson Chi-square value = 1.096 and p value = .578.The easiest way to provide more job and income to workers is through SSEs. It is therefore necessary to Government and stakeholders to see that SSEs grow and prosper.
