Abstract

Enormously meaningful research and studies have suggested positive relationship between women empowerment (WE) and poverty alleviation (PA), albeit, insufficient research has been conducted in Kwara state on the field of study. Therefore, the purpose of this current study is to present the outcome of the pilot study on the proposed model connecting the determinants of women empowerment and the latter impact on poverty alleviation in Kwara state-Nigeria. Some respondent’s demographic traits have been proposed as controlling variables in the aforementioned relationship in the study. More so, relevant and related literatures are presented to substantiate the proposed relationship in the context of Kwara state- Nigeria. Prior to the real and final study, a pilot study was conducted to ensure clarity, readability, face validity as well as reliability of the purported variables and items of the study. It is concluded that the purported variables have good internal consistencies.
