household needs because they often have larger household sizes compared to those in monogamous families. Large household sizes in polygamous families also require a lot of land for food production, which might not be available due to the high rate of population in the country. Although households headed by divorced, separated and widowed household heads are expected to be more food insecure, households headed by those in a living together type of relationship registered high levels of food insecurity. The possible explanation for this finding is that “living together” could be a food security coping strategy by some household heads compelled to enter into relationships due to financial constraints.
