Abstract

This study looks into what causes financial crises in Ugandan homes, concentrating on the effects of education level, kind of job, and sex of family head. The study's goals are to investigate the connection between these independent variables and the development of financial crises and to shed light on the precise functions played by each component in ensuring the monetary health of households. The study uses a mixed-methods methodology that combines quantitative analysis with a sample of 100 participants, a review of the pertinent literature, and a sample of one hundred participants. To analyze the relationships between parameters, the data analysis uses logistic regression, correlation analysis, descriptive statistics, and bivariate analysis. The study's conclusions show a strong correlation between financial crises and household characteristics in Uganda, including education level, kind of profession, sex of the household's head, and profession. Financial crises are found to be less likely to occur in countries with higher education levels. Economic security is aided by stable jobs, but households led by women are more susceptible to financial crises than are families headed by men. These findings are in line with the body of research that emphasizes the value of financial knowledge, job stability, and empowerment of women in fostering household resilience to financial stress. The study's findings highlight the need for focused initiatives to lessen the frequency and severity of financial emergencies in Uganda, including improved financial education programs, higher job stability, and genderresearch.miu.ac.ug/publications 1815 METROPOLITAN JOURNAL OF BUSINESS & ECONOMICS (MJBE) ISSN 1813-4238 Vol. 2 Issue 3, June - 2023, Pages: 1815-1836 inclusive regulations.
