Entrepreneurial Empowerment of Single Mothers in Ekiti State, Nigeria
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Research & Method in Education (IOSRJRME) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
This study examines the constraints and motivating factors affecting their skills acquisitions by single mothers in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Results obtained revealed that their single parenthood status were mostly attributed to divorce and unprotected sex. 42% of the respondents were unemployed. Most of the employed respondents acquired skills after their first pregnancies and they claimed to have been engaged in diverse activities to earn wages used to acquire their skills. Most of the unemployed respondents expressed their readiness to acquire skills if enabling environment could be provided. Previous empowerments received by the employed respondents were mostly rendered by relations and co-operative societies. Other agents failed to empower the respondents sustainably. Strategies that would eliminate the identified constraints were recommended.
