Summary of relevant studies on living conditions in slum

Studies	Focus	Outcome
Collins and Shester (2013); Johnson and Tashman (2002); Jones (2010); Kearns et al. (2019); Yelling (2000); Agostini (2011); Kuﬀer (2023)	Most of these studies were focused on slum clearance, relocation, privatization, upgrading and renewal as well as housing demand in urban slums and informal settlement	For example; Collins and Shester (2013) discovered that slum clearance, upgrade and renewal have a sizable economic impact as it increases property values and income. However, these studies were concentrated on issues of slums in developed countries like USA, Italy, United Kingdom and other parts of Europe while developing countries like Nigeria were not considered
Friesen et al. (2020); Lilford et al. (2016); Sheuya (2008); Mberu Haregu et al. (2016); Badom and Ndeeue (2023); Eteng et al. (2022); Oderinde et al. (2023); Kimani-Murage et al. (2014); Gunawardhana and Ginigaddara (2021); Bhattacharjee and Sassi (2021); Rains et al. (2018); Olalekan (2014); Mundhe et al. (2021); Ridlo et al. (2020), Yasmin (2016); Collado and Wang (2020); Borg et al. (2021)	These studies investigated slums with reference to different issues such as health, crime, food insecurity, urbanisation, poverty and climate change	These studies only examined issues relating to slums, while issues relating to the living conditions of the slums as established by UN-HABITAT (2003a) and Arimah (2012) were not assessed
Lall et al. (2007) and Friesen et al. (2018); Cavalcanti et al. (2019); Mwacharo (2012); Mailu (2006); Baye et al. (2020)	These studies assessed factors influencing slum formation in developing countries such as Nairobi, Kenya, Brazil and India	These studies were limited to factors such as urban poverty, inequality and rural-urban migration, population growth, among others while personal attributes of the residents were not specifically examined. Also, these studies were not carried out in Nigeria
Owoeye and Omole (2012); Yoade (2019); Osore (2019) and Oladehinde et al. (2023a). Owoeye and Omole (2012)	These studies focused on issues of slum formation in Nigeria	Various issues such as poor housing system, inadequate facilities, inadequate housing, lack of timely maintenance of infrastructures and structures, disappointment with the unmet need for housing and social were discovered as the core factors influencing slum formation while relationship between the socio-economic attributes and conditions of slums were not considered
Egerson and Omololu (2022); Lukeman et al. (2014)	These studies investigated the socio-economics characteristics of the slum dwellers in emerging slum areas	The studies discovered that most of the slum dwellers have low socioeconomic attributes such as low income, informal occupation, low level of education, large household size, among others. However, these studies only examined the socioeconomic attributes of the slum dwellers without investigating their relationship with the characteristics of the slum
Ayejugbagbe (2023); Omole and Owoeye (2011)	These studies assessed the characteristics of the slum in Nigeria	The studies revealed that the majority of the houses were informal, old, and dilapidated. High degree of deplorable condition of the living environments and the inadequacy of essential facilities for comfortable living were also discovered
Olayiwola and Ajala (2022); Agbor et al. (2016), Ogunleye (2013); Muazu, Waksha and Abdallah (2020)	These studies examined the relationship between socio-economic attributes and housing quality in residential neighbourhoods	These studies recorded that the type of occupation, level of education and income influenced the quality of houses occupied by the residents in the study area most of these studies do not holistically capture the physical conditions of the slum environment and their relationship with the socioeconomic attributes of the dwellers
