abstract: 'Purpose The purpose of this paper is threefold: to assess the gender
gaps and the patterns of female workforce in agriculture; to examine the
level of household decision making among the principal males and females
in the household; and to estimate the time spent by the principal males
and females in the household by activities in Nigeria.
Design/methodology/approach The study made use of secondary data
obtained from various sources such as published articles, research
reports, unpublished discussion paper, policy documents, national and
international databases (World Bank World Development Indicators, United
Nations Development Programme and the ECOWAS-RAAF-PASANAO survey
conducted in Nigeria in 2017), and position papers. The information
gathered covers a range of empirical and conceptual issues relating to
labour, share of women contributing to agriculture and other
gender-related issues. The study covered 1,747 maize and/or rice
producing households spread across 141 farming communities in 16 states
in Nigeria using a multi-stage sampling technique. Findings It was
interesting to note that an average male was older and had more
educational qualification than their female counterparts. In the same
vein, he owned more assets (virgin lands, other plots and buildings)
when compared with their female counterparts and earned higher incomes
from farming and other labour activities with the exception of trading.
Furthermore, the result revealed females spent more time taking care of
children, cooking and schooling than their male counterparts. It can
therefore be concluded that a gender gap exists in agricultural labour
participation with the males playing dominant roles as compared with
their female counterparts. Analysis of women''s agricultural should not
neglect the structural bases of their inequality. Research
limitations/implications The study is limited by lack of enough data
base on women''s and men''s engagement in labour force and on agricultural
activities which can be analysed for policy formulation and
implementation. Social implications The paper elucidates some of the
possible social, economic and biological implications of changes in
women''s work and their participation in agriculture in Nigeria.
Originality/value The paper is original in nature and will add value to
the integration of women into the development process in Nigeria.'
