The study examined perceived predictors of poverty in Nigeria. It employed a longitudinal survey of four perceived predictors of poverty: unemployment rate, population, inflation rate, and inequality in income distribution for the period 1980-2019. Augmented Dickey Fuller and Johansen’s tests were performed to test for stationarity and cointegration, respectively. Vector error correction model was employed in testing for statistical significance of the explanatory variables. Results showed that unemployment rate and inflation rate are significant predictors of the level of poverty in the short run, while only unemployment is a significant predictor of level of poverty in the long run
