Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Economics and Finance (IOSR-JEF) - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
This study investigated Women in Small Scale Enterprises (SSEs) and poverty reduction in Dekina Local Government Area, Kogi State. The study used interviews and questionnaires to elicit information from the respondents. A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed to women in the local government area. Four wards namely:Egume, Dekina, Ayangba, and Iyale were selected and questionnaires were distributed to women in the area of soap making, Palm oil production and fashion and designing. The study used simple percentages, interviews, and logit regression model. The result of the study shows that women are involved in SSEs to earn income that will enable them to take care of their families. The logistic regression shows that SSEs have impacted significantly on women in the local government area. The study therefore recommends that women in SSEs should form co-operative societies so that they can pool resources together to finance their businesses and also that the local government council and the state government should create an enabling environment through the provision of facilities such as farming equipment, land to construct shops and funds to carry out their businesses so that women can venture into SSEs.
