THE ROLE OF RURAL
WOMEN FARMERS ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF EDO STATE
ABSTRACT
The role of rural
women farmers in the economic development of Egor Local Government Area in Edo
State cannot be over emphasized. There is basically no aspect of economic
development in Edo State that one cannot find women. A review of feminist
literature, indicate that there is now a demand for re-orientation of research
and change in methodological procedures used for complication of national
statistics so as to reflect accurately the position of women and their labour
in the national economy in general and Edo State in particular. On the
realization of the role women play in our daily life, it is therefore necessary
to identify the role as a point of reference. It is on this basic aim prompted
as a research to go into the findings. The objective of this project work
therefore is to highlight the role of rural women farmers in Egor Local
Government Area of Edo State with a view to identifying attendant problem and
indicating necessary recommendation. Attention is focused on the rural women
farmers in the economic activities through agricultural, strategies are
indicated for using women as a catalyst for employment generation and for
solving Egor Local Government Area food agriculture and economic development
problem. Women need to be encouraged to broaden their base and increase their
scale of operation particularly in agro industries and through self employment.
They need to learn to mobilize saving rotary credit scheme in order to be
affected throughout cooperatives and other association or through small
enterprises.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE
STUDY
Women in Egor Local Government Area in Edo State inspite of their daily roles
to improve the existing standard are being looked down upon by their male
counterpart as playing the second fiddle. A review of feminist literature
indicates that there is now a demand for re-orientation of research and changes
in methodological procedures used for complication of national income. There
are at least three stands to this firstly; there is the issue that a
considerable portion of women’s labour is not reflection in Egor Local Government
statistics. This is a phenomenon due to the fact that the labour of the house
wife is not traded and valued at market prices.
Secondly, there is the formal versus informal sector issue. On a worldwide
basis, but more so in the developing countries of the world women constitute
the greater percentage of the informal sector labour forces. Thirdly, there is
the rural-urban dichotomy more than not; women are left behind when there is
male migration from rural to urban areas. These three issues are mutually self
explanatory as women get left behind in the rural areas. They have limited
opportunities for self improvement. They are therefore suitable mainly informal
sector employment. Their labour as house wives, house maids etc is not
accurately affected in nation statistics. Another relevant issue is that where
women are in selection for religions or social reasons, enumerators who are
more often men cannot meet the women to accurately appraise their labour input.
STATEMENT OF
PROBLEMS
The basic premise of this essay is that the non involvement or marginalization
of women in development programmes is wasteful and impedes effective economic
development. Its effect is similar to inadequate use of factor of production in
agriculture which means that the production possibilities curve is lower than
it should be on the basis of this premise, the problem associated with the
involvement of women in the economic development of Edo State and strategies of
solving these problems are discussed.
PURPOSE OF STUDY
The objective of this paper is therefore to highlight the role of women in
economic development of Egor Local Government Area in Edo State with view to
identifying attendant problem and suggesting possible solution.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
STUDY
It
is hoped that this study will be useful in selecting appropriate rural women in
Egor Local Government Area. it is also hoped that it will help the rural women
in producing and advertising their products.
Finally, it is my hope that the project work will justify the economic
investment in rural women in Egor Local Government Area.
